Thank you, Steve, this is awesome!

I took a stab at the Abstract and the Use of Terms, please see below and
edit freely:

Abstract
"The Humboldt Extension for Ecological Inventories provides a standardized
vocabulary to report key information about biodiversity inventories
maximizing the usability and interoperability of these data. This
vocabulary is employed along with the Darwin Core (DwC) terms, effectively
broadening the scope of dwc:Event records by incorporating terms absent
from the main DwC vocabulary. Terms included in the extension are defined
such that they can accommodate hierarchical data structures allowing the
representation of complex, highly nested survey designs. This document
lists all terms currently used in the vocabulary providing comments and
examples of their usage along with ancillary documents that provide
guidance on the use and interpretation of  terms and the data structure
needed to accommodate dwc:Event hierarchies frequently observed in
ecological inventories."

*Do we need to define ecological/biodiversity inventories here?*

Use of terms
"The terms in this extension are meant to provide stable definitions that
can be used in a variety of biodiversity inventory contexts but were
envisioned principally to function together as an extension to Darwin Core.
This vocabulary allows the reporting of detailed information about the
inventory process such as i) a general description of the survey, ii) where
an inventory takes place and the habitat characteristics and environmental
conditions of survey sites, ii) when an inventory takes place, iii) the
target taxonomic group, life stages, growth forms, and degrees of
establishment of the organisms sampled, iv) the methodology implemented
(inventory type performed, protocol(s) used, absence reported, material
samples or vouchers collected, non-target taxa reported), and v) the
completeness of the inventory and the sampling effort applied. This
extension allows the representation of complex, highly nested survey
designs, an ancillary document explaining how dwc:Event hierarchies for
ecological inventories should be structured and providing guidance on the
use of the terms in the context of parent and child dwc:Event(s) can be
found [add link]. To assist in the interpretation of the term
eco:isLeastSpecificTargetCategoryQuantityInclusive a detailed description
of its use is provided [add link]"
