+1 for dcterms:source. Ideal for linking DwC records of any class to a source record. E.g. for a taxon like: http://data.canadensys.net/vascan/taxon/2891 Greg, I'm not sure I understand your latter concept and if dwc:occurrenceDetails is a fit term for it. In my opinion dwc:occurrenceDetails could be deprecated. Peter On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 10:12, Gregor Hagedorn <g.m.hagedorn@gmail.com> wrote:
I think the two terms are different.
my understanding is that dcterms source expresses a relation between a (usually digital) record and another record, that is derived from the first.
I think this is very useful in DwC in cases, where records are taken directly from a publication.
However, it does not replace the fact that the source of the record is the digitization project of collection X and that the record is also cited in a recent publication.
I have doubts whether occurrenceDetail is a good label for the latter concept, however.
