Description: A tricky case where data provider indicates uncertainty of identification by including multiple names.

http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/46157681 (urn:catalog:LSUMZ:Birds:87123) is listed in the verbatim version as "Nothoprocta kalinowskii/ornata/brannickii" presumably indicating that it could be any one of the species Nothoprocta kalinowskii, N. ornata, or N. brannickii. GBIF interprets this as unambiguously Nothoprocta kalinowskii, which overstates the precision of the identification.]]>

Seems we miss some clear recommendation on how to express this uncertainty in Darwin Core.
Maybe this is a case to use the identification extension, but really this is just one identification, just with some uncertainty.

There does not seem to be a good way to transmit this information in Darwin Core.
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/#identificationQualifier and dwc:identificationRemarks is not helping really.
