I'm sorry, the URL of the proposed class addition was http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=69 not issue 70. Steve Steve Baskauf wrote:

In http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=70 I proposed addition of the class Individual to Darwin Core. In the discussion of that proposal, the question was raised as to which existing DwC terms should be a part of this class if it were added. After considerable thought and some work in developing RDF representations for Individuals, I believe that the term establishmentMeans should be a member of the proposed class. It has also become clear to me that if the class is introduced, there is a need for the term individualRemarks which would serve a parallel purpose to other xxRemarks terms in DwC. I have provided implementation examples in the recommendations, which can be found at http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=80 and http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=81

If you would like to discuss these proposals, please post on the tdwg-contents list or add comments to the Google Code wiki. I have cross-posted to the tdwg-tag list, but I think any discussion would be better held on the tdwg-content list, so please post there.
