John commented on Markus' question:
Would the following example make sense?
dc:type=Dataset dwc:basisOfRecord= TaxonName dwc:recordClass=Taxon dwc:scientificName=Abies alba Mill.
Yes, that would make sense.
I can't remember where, maybe in one of Rich's examples, I thought I saw the basisOfRecord for a taxonName designated as: "NomenclaturalAct". I thought that was both correct and precise. Similarly, I think the basis of a taxon record should be a "TaxonomicAct", i.e., a published description or reclassification.
Agreement or objections?
