ResolvedResult

An Id of the data-source where the match was found.

A simplified/abbreviated title of the data-source.

A curation level for the record's data-source. If data-source is known to be curated, there is less risk of misspelling of the matched name.

The record ID of the matchedName from the data-source.

A globally unique record ID (UUID, LSID, DOI etc.).

An additional ID that is used internally by the data-source. Quite often such IDs are used by data-sources to generate URLs to their records.

An external URL provided by the data-source for the record

SortScore is a numeric representation of the total score. It can be used to find the BestMatch overall, as well as the best match for every data-source. SortScore takes data from all other scores, using the priority sequence from highest to lowest. InfraSpecificRankScore FuzzyLessScore CuratedDataScore AuthorMatchScore AcceptedNameScor ParsingQualityScore Higher priorities trump lower priorities.When the final score value is calculated, it is used to sort verification or search results. Comparing this score between results of different verifications will not necessarily be accurate.The score is used for comparison of names from the same result.

A verbatim scientific name matched to the input.

A less normalized canonical form of the matched name with more details. This canonical form is better for presentation and creating matching scores

A flag, that is true if the data-source regards matched name as an any kind of synonym to the currently accepted name.

Edit distance according to Levenshtein algorithm in case of fuzzy matching. Exact matches would have editDistance at 0.

Indicates the quality and/or kind of found matches. Explains how resolver found the name. If the resolver cannot find names corresponding to the entire queried name string, it sequentially removes terminal portions of the name string until a match is found. 0 - Not matched yet 1 - Exact match 2 - Exact match by canonical form of a name 3 - Fuzzy match by canonical form 4 - Partial exact match by species part of canonical form 5 - Partial fuzzy match by species part of canonical form 6 - Exact match by genus part of a canonical form

Displays points used to calculate the score delimited by '|' -- "Match points|Author match points|Context points". Negative points decrease the final result. Explains which score properties participated in sorting of the data. Properties located higher provide more weight in the sorting. All properties vary from 0 to 1, where 0 has no influence on sorting, and 1 has the highest priority for sorting.
