Discussions and Doubts

The excel worksheets are reviewed. Ms. Prasanthi and Ms. Priyanka have suggested adding one more field indicating if a term is taxonomic or otherwise. It is required to specify the same while making changes in the database. The additional field, TN/CN i.e. Taxonomic name/Common name has been added.
