- It is essential that the taxonomy (classification) exists and contains all terms that are to be tagged on import. Note that rank names, if included, must also appear in the subsequent tag lists. When creating the taxonomy, check the biblio and description types, and under Hierarch, choose 'single' and enable Free tagging and Multiple select.
- The bibliography must be imported after the taxonomy terms are created. The import routine builds tags between the items in the keyword field and the taxonomy term.
- Note that the term is treated as a unit so the genus must be a single term as well as part of the binomen to be recovered in the genus panel.
- There is a limit of 255 characters that can be parsed from this field. Once they are parsed they are not used again and can be modified at will.
Would it be possible to create a tag-term list in a custom field in EndNote then to hack the biblio module to read that field and build tags, to overcome the existing 255 character limit?. This would eventually be built into auto-tag function to achieve what Vince originally decribed: a panel would go off and search the database for occurrence of objects associated with the name.
Should a large-scale modification of the hierarchy be necessary, can the objects already created and tagged (descriptions, images) be preserved and attached to the newly imported hierarch?
Not clear?

Clarification?

The problem is that of getting the keyword field to tag properly we need more that the allowed 255 character limit. I am suggesting here that we need to be able to import a long list of species names and build a function that creates the tags from that list.
Image tagging
