Well, I wouldn't be opposed to that, particularly since the class
currently called dsw:IndividualOrganism isn't really the same thing as
the proposed dwc:Individual class is defined anyway.<br>

I would completely echo this. Although in some ways the label of a
class is arbitrary and what counts is the definition, we communicate
meaning through language, and thus how you name something matters.
Perhaps we can just try to pool ideas for a better name and see what
comes up?
