nomenclature: The heading of a taxonomic treatment, containing the scientific name of the taxon described by the treatment, and possibly the authority for the taxon, citations to previous descriptions, designations of type-genus, and type-species, and other information.

Notes: The scientific names are regulated by Codes (e.g. International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) that define the conditions to be met to create an available name, or to amend existing names in case they are homonyms, missing a type specimens, etc. The Codes regulate "objective" cases. "Subjective" cases, essentially those based on scientific taxonomic reasons once a taxon has been established, such as the designation of synonymy, raising of the status of a taxon are not regulated by the Codes. The goal of the <tp:nomenclature> element is to include all the necessary elements to fulfill the requirements laid out in the code.

• <tp:taxon-name>: Latinized Name (eg Latin Binomen in the case of species)
• <tp:taxon-authority>: Author
