Hi,
the subject says all.
I suspect that some data in GBIF Checklist Bank are derived from checklits formatted in Dawrin Core, e.g. http://www.gbif.org/dataset/7a9bccd4-32fc-420e-a73b-352b92267571 or http://data.canadensys.net/ipt/resource.do?r=coleoptera-ca-ak the source. DwC data may contain nomenclaturalCode whichi is crucial to explore name usages, especially the same literal is used under different nomenclatural codes. Please consider to add nomenclaturalCode element (or something equivalent) to Species API response if it is available in the soure data.
Regerds, James

Hi James,
you are right that the NameUsage class does not have the code property. I have created a jira request for that: http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-2971 http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-2971
In case the source data has that term it will be available in the verbatim view of the usage though already now. Unfortunately we have a nasty bug in our verbatim usage handling that I discovered just today. That requires us to reindex all checklist data first which will take quite a while before you can access the nomenclaturalCode there. http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/PF-2228 http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/PF-2228
best, Markus

Hi Markus,
thanks for creaation of the jira request, and suggestion to use verbatim view. I'm looking forward either implemenation or fixation of verbatim bug.
