Ah, thanks. I was looking at the obsolete http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/2009-07-06/terms/ which had a taxonAccordingTo. This teaches me that for MRTG we need to carefully review that we haven't used any other obsolete DwC terms.

Hi Bob, Please see http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#nameAccordingToID An identifier for the source in which the specific taxon concept circumscription is defined or implied. See nameAccordingTo. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#nameAccordingTo 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. Is that what you are looking for? 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 Cheers, Tim On Feb 28, 2010, at 3:04 AM, Bob Morris wrote:

The current twg_dwcterms.xsd seems to be missing taxonAccordingTo
