I was just thinking to that the "locality" type component should be influenced by other geo components within TDWG - ideally it probably should be linked to TDWG regions, dublic core, ISO, or other vocab?
Also, there is probably a time element in this. But I don't think we need to go there. :-)

Makes sense, but need a "second" of the motion to include.

Yes, thats a good start, however, biostatus is a more complicated topic than that, eg whther it is "native" may depend on the region you are looking at - so region data needs to be included, and whether it is present or not also is another important piece of data.
biostatus is also really a name/concept oriented piece of data, not specimen/occurrence. So maybe useful to have as domain (RDF) independent??
So I suggest a "class" fro biostatus that includes: Biostatus (eg Endemic, Indigenous, Exotic) BiostatusOccurrence (eg Present, Absent) BiostatusRegion (eg, New Zealand)
so you could have biostatus about a taxon in NZ like "Aus bus" has biostatus in NZ, Exotic and Present and a more lacalised biostatus for a region of NZ, eg "Aus bus" has biostatus in Canterbury NZ, Exotic and Absent
Make sense?

Hi Kevin,
Not exactly sure what is meant by biostatus given what you have written, but have a look at the term establishmentMeans (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#establishmentMeans) and see if that is the same or similar.

This is a bit out of the blue, and I haven't had the chance to look into it fully, but...
is there allowance for Biostatus in the new Dariwn Core format?
An imprtant, and common field - ie Biostatus occurrence, locality, and status, eg "Present Indigenous"
