Description

From @MariaALaporte

Seems to be failing when there is >1 authority per taxon?

Examples
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=16&lvl=3&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock -> Worked, the authority is present in the ncbitaxon.owl file
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=36746&lvl=3&p=mapview&p=has_linkout&p=blast_url&p=genome_blast&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock -> Didn’t work, the authorities are not in the ncbitaxon.owl file

Research direction

Compare the NCBI Taxonomy entries for IDs 16 and 36746, then inspect the corresponding entries in ncbitaxon.owl. Trace how authority data is transferred into the OWL file, focusing on taxa with more than one authority. Done means the authorities for the failing example are present in ncbitaxon.owl without regressing the working example.
