Change term - identifiedBy
Term change
- Submitter: Humboldt Extension Task Group
- Efficacy Justification (why is this change necessary?): To clarify the use of the term in the context of the Humboldt Extension.
- Demand Justification (if the change is semantic in nature, name at least two organizations that independently need this term): The organizations represented in the Humboldt Extension Task Group
- Stability Justification (what concerns are there that this might affect existing implementations?): Does not affect existing uses.
- Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?: Update dwciri: comments.
Current Term definition: https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/#dwc_identifiedBy
Proposed attributes of the new term version (Please put actual changes to be implemented in bold and ~strikethrough~):
- Term name (in lowerCamelCase for properties, UpperCamelCase for classes): dwc:identifiedBy
- Term label (English, not normative): Identified By
- Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): Identification
- Definition of the term (normative): A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups, or organizations who assigned the dwc:Taxon to the subject.
- Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): When used in the context of an Event (such as in the Humboldt Extension), the subject consists of all of the dwc:Organisms related to the Event. Recommended best practice is to separate the values in a list with space vertical bar space ( | ). This term has an equivalent in the dwciri: namespace that allows only an IRI as a value, whereas this term allows for any string literal value.
- Examples (not normative):
James L. PattonTheodore Pappenfuss | Robert Macey - Refines (identifier of the broader term this term refines; normative): None
