- NCD is using terms from the TDWG ontology, which is to date an
unfinished academic exercise without any review. This dependency seems to me to guarantee that NCD will require revision when the ontology is revised. This wouldn't necessarily be required if NCD took the reigns and defined terms that aren't already in another standard (the Ontology does not fit into this category) within its own domain.
which emphasies the need for a collaborative workshop / effort to merge, or map, the TDWG Ontology and the DwC 2 model, classes, and properties.
Anyone know if this will be addressed at TDWG this year?
