[tdwg-content] Tags to describe descriptions, keywords and frequency?

[Quentin Groom]

For abundance you could use organismQuantity in conjunction with
organismQuantityType. Both are loosely defined, so just define the terms of
your abundance scale in organismQuantityType and use the relevant term in
organismQuantity. If you can restrict your terms to a more standard
terminology such as DAFOR or BraunBlanquet, so much the better.

Quentin
