Merging taxonomies: Examples of outcomes when merging nodes from a source taxonomy into the workspace taxonomy. Each row (1-6) corresponds to one of the six examples described in the text. Column A is the current workspace taxonomy, column B is the source taxonomy being merged, and column C is the resulting workspace taxonomy. Nodes in B marked with a large blue circle are those that cannot be aligned to the workspace. Nodes in C marked with a green star are those flagged as incertae sedis in the final taxonomy.
