LsidVocsDarwinCore

---

This needs to be updated to take into account the new TaxonOccurrenceLsidVoc vocabulary that replaces SpecimenLsidVoc and OccurrenceRecordLsidVoc. The mapping is more or less trivial as most or the properties retain their current names or become more like the DarwinCore? equivalents.

---

This is an attempt to reconcile the DarwinCoreDraftStandard with the LSIDVocs in a human readable fashion. Much of the OccurrenceRecord? and Specimen objects is base on DarwinCoreDraftStandard anyhow so they should match. More about how the OccurrenceRecord? has been modeled is in OccurrenceRecordLsidVoc.

DwC Extension	DwC Element	LsidVoc Property
Core	GlobalUniqueIdentifier	@rdf:about The about attribute in either Specimen or OccurrenceRecord?.
Core	DateLastModified	dc:modified property. Additional information may be given in dc:source, dcterms:replace, dcterms:provenance, dcterms:hasVersion, dcterms:isVersionOf and owl:versionInfo properties
Core	BasisOfRecord	n/a If the object is a specimen the BasisOfRecord? is given by the specimen type. If it is an OccurrenceRecord? without an associated specimen then it is implied from the procedure property and others.
Core	InstitutionCode	Specimen.hostCollectionString But may also be normalized out in the hostCollection property.
Core	CollectionCode	Specimen.hostCollectionString But may also be normalized out in the hostCollection property.
Core	CatalogNumber	Specimen.SpecimenID Other identifiers, such as barcodes, can be included using dc:indentifier
Core	InformationWithheld	isRestricted
Core	DarwinCore.Remarks	note
Core	ScientificName	OccurrenceRecord/identifiedTo/ Identification/taxonName The TaxonConcept? may be further broken down in the 'taxon' property.
Core	HigherTaxon	Either taxonomicPlacementFormal or taxonomicPlacementInformal
Core	DarwinCore.Kingdom	as HigherTaxon?
Core	DarwinCore.Phylum	as HigherTaxon?
Core	DarwinCore.Class	as HigherTaxon?

Core	SpecificEpithet	OccurrenceRecord/identifiedTo/ Identification/taxon/TaxonName/specificEpithet
Core	InfraspecificRank	OccurrenceRecord/identifiedTo/ Identification/taxon/TaxonName/rankString Could also use 'rank' property with controlled vocabulary. Use for all ranks
Core	InfraSpecificEpithet	OccurrenceRecord/identifiedTo/ Identification/taxon/TaxonName/infraspecificEpithet
Core	AuthorYearOfScientificName	OccurrenceRecord/identifiedTo/ Identification/taxon/TaxonName/authorship
Core	NomenclaturalCode	OccurrenceRecord/identifiedTo/ Identification/taxon/TaxonName/nomenclaturalCode Controlled vocabulary of URIs
Core	IdentificationQualifer	OccurrenceRecord/identifiedTo/ Identification/note

Core	DarwinCore.County	OccurrenceRecord/county
Core	DarwinCore.Locality	OccurrenceRecord/locality
Core	MinimumElevationInMeters	OccurrenceRecord/minimumElevationMeters
Core	MaximumElevationInMeters	OccurrenceRecord/maximumElevationMeters
Core	MinimumDepthInMeters	OccurrenceRecord/minimumDepthInMeters
Core	MaximumDepthInMeters	OccurrenceRecord/maximumDepthInMeters
Core	CollectingMethod	OccurrenceRecord/procedureDescriptor This is for the method of deriving the OccurrenceRecord? rather than the Specimen. More details can be put in the procedure property.
Core	ValidDistributionFlag	OccurrenceRecord/validDistributionFlag
Core	EarliestDateCollected	OccurrenceRecord/earliestDateCollected
Core	LatestDateCollected	OccurrenceRecord/latestDateCollected
Core	DayOfYear	OccurrenceRecord/dayOfYear
Core	DarwinCore.Collector	Specimen/collector See also collectorTeam
Core	DarwinCore.Sex	Specimen/sex
Core	LifeStage	Specimen/lifeStage
Core	DarwinCore.Attributes	Not Supported. dcterm:description could be used in its place. Use of SDD subset or TaxonDescriptionModel? in the future.
Core	ImageURL	hasDigitalImage if the image is of a physical specimen or digitalRepresentation if the specimen itself is a digital object such as a sound recording.
Core	RelatedInformation	dc:relation
CuratorialExtension	CatalogNumberNumeric	Specimen/specimenID
CuratorialExtension	IdentifiedBy	Identification/expertName May also be normalized in the expert property
CuratorialExtension	DateIdentified	Identification/date

CuratorialExtension	FieldNotes	Specimen/fieldNotes
CuratorialExtension	VerbatimCollectingDate	Specimen/verbatimCollectingDate
CuratorialExtension	VerbatimElevation	Specimen/verbatimElevation
CuratorialExtension	VerbatimDepth	Specimen/verbatimDepth
CuratorialExtension	DarwinCore.Preparations	Specimen/kindOfSpecimenString but it would be clearer to use the Specimen/kindOfSpecimen and values from a controlled vocabulary. To represent a series of specimens that have gone through some preparation/separation process the Specimen/derivedFrom and Specimen/procedure properties should be employed.
CuratorialExtension	TypeStatus	Specimen/typeStatusString It is also possible to indicated type status using a controlled vocabulary in the typeStatus field and to indicate the name for which this is a type specimen using the typeForName property
CuratorialExtension	GenBankNumber	Not currently supported
