public enum NomenclaturalCode
extends Enum<NomenclaturalCode>

Enumeration representing the different nomenclatoral codes found in biology for scientific names.

Nomenclature codes or codes of nomenclature are the various rulebooks that govern biological taxonomic nomenclature, each in their own broad field of organisms. To an end-user who only deals with names of species, with some awareness that species are assignable to families, it may not be noticeable that there is more than one code, but beyond this basic level these are rather different in the way they work.
