SPM: Is information about a SpeciesProfileModel also information about the underlying taxon?
I didn't notice that ( sometime in the summer(?), it became the case that) a TaxonConcept has a property hasInformation with range SpeciesProfileModel#InfoItem
Suppose that an SPM s is aboutTaxon t, and that s hasInformation i.
Nothing in the TDWG ontology seems to entail that t therefore hasInformation i.
In words: a SpeciesProfileModel about a TaxonConcept may have information which need not be information about the TaxonConcept
This seems counter-intuitive to me. Can someone give me an example from among the currently defined subclasses of InfoItem where it would be reasonable for the SPM to have that InfoItem, but for it not to be information about the taxon concept which that SPM is about ?
