New term - typifiedName · Issue #28 · tdwg/dwc (original) (raw)

New Term

Submitter: Markus Döring
Justification: Clear separation of the type status and the typified scientific name that is typified by a type specimen, the subject. Looking at how dwc:typeStatus has been used in all of GBIFs specimen data one can see there is the need to express this, but it should better be handled with a term on its own and leave typeStatus for the status of the type only. The term name itself is also used by ABCD: http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/ABCD/AbcdConcept0603
Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): Identification
Definition: Scientific name of which Organism is a nomenclatural type.
Comment: It is recommended to also indicate the typeStatus of the Organism.

A typical example how typeStatus is used currently is:

ISOTYPE of Polysiphonia amphibolis Womersley

which we could express much better with 2 terms:

dwc:typeStatus=ISOTYPE
dwc:typifiedName=Polysiphonia amphibolis Womersley
