        public static final NameType SCIENTIFIC
        Deprecated.

      • VIRUS

        public static final NameType VIRUS
        Deprecated.
        A virus name.

      • HYBRID

        public static final NameType HYBRID
        Deprecated.
        A hybrid formula (not a hybrid name).

      • INFORMAL

        public static final NameType INFORMAL
        Deprecated.
        A scientific name with some informal addition like "cf." or indetermined like Abies spec.

      • CULTIVAR

        public static final NameType CULTIVAR
        Deprecated.
        A cultivated plant name.

      • CANDIDATUS

        public static final NameType CANDIDATUS
        Deprecated.
        Candidatus is a component of the taxonomic name for a bacterium that cannot be maintained in a Bacteriology Culture Collection. It is an interim taxonomic status for noncultivable organisms. An example would be "Candidatus Phytoplasma allocasuarinae". This can be abbreviated to "Ca. Phytoplasma allocasuarinae".

      • OTU

        public static final NameType OTU
        Deprecated.
        Operational Taxonomic Unit. An OTU is a pragmatic definition to group individuals by similarity, equivalent to but not necessarily in line with classical Linnaean taxonomy or modern Evolutionary taxonomy. A OTU usually refers to clusters of organisms, grouped by DNA sequence similarity of a specific taxonomic marker gene. In other words, OTUs are pragmatic proxies for "species" at different taxonomic levels. Sequences can be clustered according to their similarity to one another, and operational taxonomic units are defined based on the similarity threshold (usually 97% similarity) set by the researcher. Typically, OTU's are based on similar 16S rRNA sequences.

      • DOUBTFUL

        public static final NameType DOUBTFUL

        Deprecated.

      • values

        public static NameType[] values()
        Deprecated.
        Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows: 
        for (NameType c : NameType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
        Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

      • valueOf

        public static NameType valueOf​(String name)
        Deprecated.
        Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
        Parameters:
        name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
        Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        NullPointerException - if the argument is null

      • fromString

        public static NameType fromString​(String nameType)
        Deprecated.
        Case insensitive lookup of a name type by its name that does not throw an exception but returns null for not found name types.
        Parameters:
        nameType - case insensitive name of name type
        Returns:
        the matching NameType or null

      • isBackboneType

        public boolean isBackboneType()
        Deprecated.
        Returns:
        true if the type of name is included in the GBIF backbone

      • isParsable

        public boolean isParsable()
        Deprecated.
        Returns:
        true if the GBIF name parser can parse such a name into a ParsedName instance
