That's what I would call "Occurrence Sensu Lato" (=traditional use of Occurrence class). What I'm a little fuzzy on is whether we can have meaningful co-functionality of Occurrence "sensu stricto" (new definition) and Occurrence "sensu lato" (traditional definition) concurrently without breaking stuff, violating natural laws of semantic integrity, or enduring some other manner of unexpected hell.

I agree with Chuck on the many many cases. Is it possible to define
Single_Organism_Collection
which inherits both CollectionObject and Organism/LifeForm properties?
