Talk:ACE-MWI-UNK-0120120001

Identifier

The accession identifier is ACE-MWI-UNK-0120120001, built to the grammar in the project's naming reference, §8B: holder, ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, province segment, month, year, sequence.

• Holder segment ACE is new. It is proposed for ACE Seeds and needs adding to the holder-code table in §8B before this batch is deployed.
• Year 2012 is the earliest year the line is attested in an archived capture of the vendor's catalogue (http://www.aceseeds.org:80/malawiregeng.php, captured 2012-05-10). No source gives a collection year. This follows the rule applied to Malawi Gold: where a collection year is missing, the identifier takes the first attested year.
• Month 01 is a placeholder, as for other accessions whose year comes from first attestation rather than a stated collection date.
• Province segment UNK records that the vendor names no subdivision.

The first-attested year is a lower bound, not a collection date. The Wayback Machine's first capture of a product page is the earliest date the archive saw it, not the earliest date the line was sold. If an earlier capture or an earlier catalogue is found, the identifier should move.

Sourcing

Everything on this page comes from ACE Seeds' own product listing, read from a Wayback Machine capture rather than the live site: the network in use when the page was drafted blocked cannabis seed retailers at the carrier. The listing is a vendor's account of its own stock and is attributed as such throughout.

The vendor's structured fields give the type as P4 LANDRACE STRAIN and the genetics as P4 landrace from Malawi, Central Africa. Old Malawi Killer x 3rd generation Malawis.

Georeferencing

No coordinate is asserted. The listing names a country only, which gives nothing to georeference.

Conservation priority

Not rated. The ratings for a batch are set against the criteria in the design reference and the list is approved before it goes on the pages, so this field is deliberately left empty here.

Open

• The ACE holder code needs ratifying (§8B).
• No photograph has been uploaded. ACE Seeds has given permission covering its images, so these do not need the fair-use treatment the RSC photographs carry, but there is no licence template for material used by the copyright holder's permission and one has to be written first.
• No conservation priority has been rated.

Classification

ACE Seeds types this P4 LANDRACE STRAIN but its genetics field reads "Old Malawi Killer x 3rd generation Malawis", which is a cross between two Malawi lines rather than a straight maintenance of one population. It is classified Landrace here on the vendor's own type field, with the cross recorded. If the crossing is judged to take it out of the landrace class, the classification should become Landrace IBL.
