I was examining the definition of dwc:organismScope (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/organismScope ) and noticed that its comment specifically says "To describe the kind of Organism using a URI object in RDF, use rdf:type ... instead." The Darwin Core RDF Guide includes dwc:organismScope in the category of terms having analogues in the dwciri: namespace (i.e. having an IRI-reference object). I believe that it should be removed from that list and placed in Table 3.8 [1] with an explanation that rdf:type should be used instead in accordance with the term comment.
