Dear all I appreciate this thoughtful discussion and I agree with @roy-lowry that it's important to make the right choices carefully. I am one of those who would object to this proposed standard name change on the grounds already stated! While I'm generally against redundancy, I think the bad sort of redundancy occurs when things are said in two rather different ways that can be inconsistent without its being obvious. It is a less dangerous sort of redundancy when a given piece of information is repeated _exactly_ the same. Therefore I think it wouldn't be bad if the CF `biological_taxon_name` and Darwin Core `scientificName` were both attached to a data variable with _exactly_ the same value. This is easy to check automatically for consistency, by eye or by machine. Jonathan
