DwC "picklist" extension to MIxS IRIs
by Pier Luigi Buttigieg 24 Jun '21

24 Jun '21

Dear TG, Dear Ramona (GSC CIG), Chris, Bill, In our DwC-MIxS mapping activity, we noted a practice to support the IPT to generate "picklists" (for drop-down menus etc) by adding extensions to IRIs. This was suggested as a means to link the values to keys in terminology-focused fields. You can see the link to the "picklists" in the tracker: https://github.com/tdwg/gbwg/tree/main/dwc-mixs/dwc#vocabularies An example is available in [1] and looks like: dc:URI='https://w3id.org/gensc/terms/MIXS:0000005/contigs' I'm not quite sure about this and would like your input. To me, it seems like a very strange way to modify an identifier *issued by another standards group* in order to help a tool generate dropdown menu. It essential creates a false impression that there's something standardised on the other end of that IRI that may or may not be the case.
