A type name or specimen. Typification can be complex to represent. On the one hand a type is a property of a TaxonName that is created at the time the name is published. But it needs to exist as a structure so that the type of type can be indicated. On the other hand a type can be the result of a later typification event - almost like a nomenclatural note. This object can therefore be used in two ways. It can be the target of the 'type' property in a TaxonName object (in which case the typeOf property may be ommitted) or it can be used as a free standing object with its own ID and the typeOf property used to indicate which TaxonName this is a type of - this is more likely scenario in a the case of a leptotypification event.
