Further arguments passed among methods.

value

A data.frame object to be set as slot taxonRelations.

ConceptID

Concept IDs to be updated.

Details

The replacement method ⁠taxon_relations<-⁠ should be only used when constructing taxlist objects from an empty one (prototype).

New concepts should be first added to a taxlist object using their respective accepted names. Synonyms can be further provided using the function add_synonym().

Additional named vectors can be provided to be included in slot taxonNames, in the cases where those variables already exist, otherwise they will be ignored.

It is recommended also to provide a concept view as ViewID (see taxon_views()). For adding a new view, use add_view().

Value

An object of class taxlist with added names and concepts.
