 There is a distinction between Scientific Name here

 A record may carry any number of identifications which may be in any order. (Order is currently confined to integers between zero and ten.) Order zero is generally treated as "unaccepted" in the UI; all other values are "accepted." Order is non-unique; multiple determinations may be ranked 0 (eg if they are later determined to be incorrect), or multiple determinations may be ranked '1' (="most preferred") - for example, if they consider different aspects of a cultural item (parka and -Gulo_).

+You can also have more than one order = 1 to indicate that there are more than one accepted identification related to the catalog record. This is important for cultural and geological collections that may need to have more than one accepted identification on a record (a fossil in a bead of amber for example). It might also be used in biological collections when several different determiners have reached the same conclusion about the identification assigned to a biological individual.
