Classifications and workspaces

Classification

what is a workspace
- allows changes to the taxonomy to be done in a managed environment that does not affect the current classification
- the steps in making changes in a workspace are not tracked
- changes in a workspace can be reverted (before they are incorporated into the classification)
- changes between the currently accepted taxonomy and the workspace are recorded when the workspace is incorporated back into the classification (ie. a complete history of changes is kept).

→ Rules about classifications and workspaces

there is one nominated workspace for a classification (currently not enforced). Decided because of the issues that can arise when multiple workspaces are being edited and the conflict that arises on checkin.
there can be more than one workspace on a classification but it cannot be checked in (what is its purpose then, how enforced)
