<br>
This issue is related to the issue of Evidence (CollectionObject,<br>
Representation, Token, Unit) covered in a previous posting. In the<br>
Darwin Core there is currently no separate class to explicitly<br>
represent the biological entities involved in an Occurrence. This is<br>
problematic when trying to be explicit about the attributes of these<br>
entities in the semantic world. Various names have been given to this<br>
concept, including "Individual", "BiologicalIndividual",<br>
"BiologicalEntity", "Organism", and "DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit" in<br>
ABCD.<br>
<br>
Open Issues:<br>
Determine if there is a general consensus on the need for new class<br>
for this concept.<br>
<br>
The best name for this class.<br>
<br>
Create a new Type Vocabulary term referring to this new class.<br>
<br>
Decide which properties currently organized under Occurrence should<br>
instead be organized under this new class.<br>
<br>
As a seed for further discussion, here is a complete proposal.<br>
