The year of publication of this name. This is the year this name was published. If it is a new combination of the name then it is the year of publication of the combination not the basionym. It should be the same as the year given in the publishedIn property. In zoology the place of first publication of a new combination is rarely given as it is not considered a nomenclatural act unless it leads to homonymy. For new combinations of names in zoology it may therefore be inappropriate to supply this property or the publishedIn, combintationAuthorship or combintationAuthorTeam properties. The main role of this property is to aid disambiguation where author strings may be confusing. This property is not restricted to a date type as feedback from TCS suggested that this restriction was inappropriate.
