@albenson-usgs This is a separate answer to your response to @davidhassell and 
myself. Vocabulary search engines in the past decade have been designed to 
search by default both labels and descriptions. Therefore our suggestion to 
extend the Standard Name descriptions should draw the attention of your 
hypothetical data manager to the fact that biological_taxon_name and 
scientificName are the same thing.

I'm not sure who is watching this thread, but having been through the Trac 99 
debate I know there are people who would voice strong opinions against your 
suggested Standard Name label change. CF is a standard based on physics that 
requires other domains to explain themselves with great clarity. As a 
specialist in biogeochemical semantics this is something I've learned over the 
years!
