The reference to the source in which the specific taxon concept circumscription is defined or implied - traditionally signified by the Latin "sensu" or "sec." (from secundum, meaning "according to"). For taxa that result from identifications, a reference to the keys, monographs, experts and other sources should be given.

I remember that there was quite a lot of discussion surrounding this term as DwC was reaching review. It might be worth reviewing some of the conversations for background info, such as: http://lists.tdwg.org/pipermail/tdwg-content/2009-August/000082.html
