I have something similar that I use for stating the year the species was described. This is useful for sorting by year etc. So +1 Note the datatype rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear" From http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p.html RDF http://10.10.10.122:3000/ses/v6n7p.rdf <txn:yearDescribed rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear ">1771</txn:yearDescribed> *Ontology* <!-- http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl#yearDescribed --> <owl:DatatypeProperty rdf:about=" http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl#yearDescribed"> <rdfs:label rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear ">yearDescribed</rdfs:label> <rdfs:comment>The year that the species was originally described</rdfs:comment> <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource=" http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl"/> <rdfs:range rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear"/> </owl:DatatypeProperty> - Pete On Mon, Jul 4, 2011 at 5:35 PM, John Wieczorek <tuco@berkeley.edu> wrote:
Darwin Core Issue 84: http://goo.gl/8WkJa
This issue has not undergone public commentary.
Open Issues: Determine if there is a demand for this term. Though the term is well-described in the issue tracker, there is no evidence of a real-world need for it. There has to be a demonstrated need from more than one "independent" source for a term to enter into consideration for addition to the Darwin Core. _______________________________________________ tdwg-content mailing list tdwg-content@lists.tdwg.org http://lists.tdwg.org/mailman/listinfo/tdwg-content
