Term change

  • Submitter: Yi-Ming Gan, Humboldt Extension Task Group
  • Efficacy Justification (why is this change necessary?): Clarity. After discussing this within the Humboldt Extension task group, we propose to clarify the usage of this term in relation to eco:targetTaxonomicScope of the dwc:Event in the comment.
  • Demand Justification (if the change is semantic in nature, name at least two organizations that independently need this term): not applicable
  • Stability Justification (what concerns are there that this might affect existing implementations?): not applicable
  • Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?: none

Current Term definition: https://eco.tdwg.org/list/#eco_absentTaxa

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): absentTaxa
  • Term label (English, not normative): Absent Taxa
  • Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): Event
  • Definition of the term (normative): A list (concatenated and separated) of taxa reported absent during the dwc:Event.
  • Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): Absences can be reported at any taxonomic level. This term refers to the list of taxa within the eco:targetTaxonomicScope that were not detected in the dwc:Event. Recommended best practice is to separate multiple 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): Parabuteo unicinctus | Geranoaetus melanoleucus; Cetoniinae | Aclopinae | Cyclocephala modesta
  • Refines (identifier of the broader term this term refines; normative): none
  • Replaces (identifier of the existing term that would be deprecated and replaced by this term; normative): http://rs.tdwg.org/eco/terms/version/absentTaxa-2024-03-26
  • ABCD 2.06 (XPATH of the equivalent term in ABCD or EFG; not normative): not in ABCD
