Except that the relationship meant by isReferencedBy is in the opposite direction. It would mean that "this record is referenced by some other resource." What we need is "this record references some other resource" which would be dcterms:references. I could be convinced that dcterms:references is the general solution for what Markus has requested. Could Markus?
Perhaps both is needed. My understanding was that if you have a specimen record, entered e.g. by a collection (but not "taken" from a publication), and the specimen is being referenced in a publication, isReferencedBy is the right property to point to the publication.
For which there is a term dwc:associatedReferences. Even if this term isn't exactly the same as dcterms:isReferencedBy, this is getting into a concept different from the one being requested. If dcterms:isReferencedBy actually needed for real-world uses by multiple independent parties, then the case for it's addition should be made in the normal fashion ( http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/namespace/index.htm#classesofchanges, section 3.4), with discussion in a different thread if the discussion has no bearing on the current topic.
