Introduction

Changes from version 0.3 to 0.4 change DwC class namespace from dwctype: to dwc: to follow class proposal, removed references to TDWG TaxonConcept ontology; deprecated terms that now have equivalent terms in Darwin Core.

Instances of the Organism class are intended to facilitate linking of one or more Identification instances to one or more Occurrence instances. Therefore, things that are typically assigned scientific names (such as viruses, hybrids, and lichens) and aggregates whose occurrences are typically recorded (such as packs, clones, and colonies) are included in the scope of this class.

To Taxonop
is disjoint with
Locationc, Specimenc, Tokenc, Eventc, Identificationc, Occurrencec, Organismc, Agentc, Documentc
Definition taken from Darwin Core vocabulary 2014-11-21. We feel that this class should be considered to be equivalent to TaxonConcept (name plus accordingTo) in TDWG TCS (http://www.tdwg.org/standards/117/). However, this connection has not been explicitly expressed in the Darwin Core standard.

A taxon concept class (name plus accordingTo) considered to be equivalent to TaxonConcept in TDWG TCS (http://www.tdwg.org/standards/117/). This class was deprecated in favor of the Darwin Core class dwc:Taxon after the dwc:Taxon definition was clarified on 2014-10-26. Additionally, by that date the TDWG Ontologies (from which this term was taken) were effectively deprecated.
