Hi József

I am no guru or web developer but looking at the code [1] I think it is pulling 
out distinct the ranks in order from the suggest response [2]. I see the code 
has this:

  <span ng-repeat="taxa in ['kingdom', 'phylum', 'class', 'order', 'family', 
'genus', 'species']"
     ng-if="match.model[taxa] && taxa != match.model.rank.toLowerCase()">
        {{match.model[taxa]}}
  </span>

Someone may correct me if I’m wrong, but since it’s the weekend here now it may 
be some time – I hope this helps for starters…

Thanks,
Tim

Subject: [API-users] /species/suggest - higherClassificationMap question
Hi API gurus,

I assume, the search box functionality in the species page of gbif homepage 
(e.g.: https://www.gbif.org/species/5298708) is based on "suggest". There each 
result contains the scientific name and the full taxonomic hierarchy e.g. "Iris 
pumila subsp. attica (Boiss. & Heldr.) K.Richt. Subspecies  | Plantae > 
Tracheophyta >  Liliopsida > Asparagales >  Iridaceae >  Iris >  Iris pumila".

My question: how is the hierarchy implemented? Is it based on 
"higherClassificationMap"? How?

When I play with the suggest api, the XMLHttpRequest responseText in raw text 
format contains the taxonomic hierarchy correctly (i.e. the physical order of 
the entries in "higherClassificationMap" is correct). Unfortunately after 
JSON.parse the resulting javascript object does not hold any information about 
the physical order of the key/value pairs.

Is there any smart way to overcome this, or shall I hardcode the hierarchy 
manually?

Thanks in advance.

József Szlamka
