Hi, late in the discussion, but I would like to shed some light into using darwin core for taxonomic data exchange, not "occurrences". Would the following example make sense?
dc:type=Dataset dwc:basisOfRecord= TaxonName dwc:recordClass=Taxon dwc:scientificName=Abies alba Mill.
dwc:basisOfRecord and dwc:recordClass seems redundant. What is the need to have both? PreservedSpecimen implies its an occurrence and TaxonName implies a Taxon class. Isnt this yet another class hierarchy that is flattened to share different levels of granularity for different clients?

For UC-Steve2 the Alaska museum of the North should have an Occurrence record for that specimen with: dcterms:type = "PhysicalObject" dwc:basisOfRecord = "PreservedSpecimen" dwc:recordClass = "Occurrence"
