Change from version 1.0 to 1.0.1 Add CC0 license.
Changes from version 0.2.1 to version 0.3: removal of all functional and inverse function properties of object property terms, use of dwctype classes, deprecation of terms replaced by dwciri: terms, removal of references to TDWG Ontology.
Changes from version 0.3 to 0.4 change DwC class namespace from dwctype: to dwc: to follow class proposal, removed references to TDWG TaxonConcept ontology; deprecated terms that now have equivalent terms in Darwin Core.
Version 0.4 to 1.0 fixed reversed dsw:locates and dsw:locatedAt. Added labels. Changed comments and descriptions to conform to DC and DwC precedent. Added subClassOf relations to RO hasEvidence and isEvidenceFor. Specified preferred direction for inverse object property pairs.

The atEvent relationship is many-to-one (many occurrences at one event)
This property is preferred over its inverse if the link is made in only one direction.
Links a subject Occurrence instance to an object Event instance.
At Event
Range can be IndividualOrganism or another Specimen
Links a subject Token instance to an object instance of another Token or an Organism.

The eventOf relationship is one-to-many (one event has many occurrences)
Use the inverse property dsw:atEvent in preference to this one if the link is made in only one direction.
Links a subject Event instance to an object Occurrence instance.
Event Of
In most cases this will act like a functional property (only possibly documenting a single occurrence), but some images may document several occurrences, so the formal specification of functional property is omitted.
Links a subject Token instance to an object Occurrence instance.
Evidence For
Was georeferenceByURI; deprecated 2014-11-21 to be replaced by dwciri:georeferencedBy

Links a subject Organism instance to an object Identification instance.
Has Identification
The hasOccurrence relationship is one-to-many (one individual organism may have many occurrences)
Use the inverse property dsw:occurrenceOf in preference to this one if the link is made in only one direction.
Links a subject Organism instance to an object Occurrence instance.
Has Occurrence
The subject identification was in part based on the object token. Was identifiedBasedOn
Use the inverse property dsw:isBasisForId in preference to this one if the link is made in only one direction.
Links a subject Identification instance to an object Token instance.
ID Based On
was dsw:identificationByURI; deprecated 2014-11-21 to be replaced by dwciri:identifiedBy
Identified By
The identifies relationship is many-to-one (many identifications for one individual organism)
Links a subject Identification instance to an object Organism instance.
Identifies
The subject resource is a basis on which the object identification is made.
Links a subject Token instance to an object Identification instance.
Is Basis For ID
The locatedAt relationship is many-to-one (many events at one location)
Links a subject Event instance to an object Location instance.
Located At
The locates relationship is one to many (one location may have many events)
Use the inverse property dsw:locatedAt in preference to this one if the link is made in only one direction.
Links a subject Event instance to an object Locatino instance.
Locates
The occurrrenceOf relationship is many-to-one (many occurrences for one individual organism)
Links a subject Occurrence instance to an object Organism instance.
Occurrence Of
Deprecated 2014-11-21 to be replaced by dwciri:recordedBy
Recorded By
The taxonOfID relationship is one-to-many (one taxon may be referenced in many identifications)
Use the well-known dwciri:toTaxon predicate in preference to this one if the link is only made in one direction.
Links a subject Taxon instance to an object Identification instance.
Taxon Of ID
The toTaxon relationship is many-to-one (many identifications can reference one taxon). This property should link to a taxon concept (i.e. Taxon name plus Authority) URI, such as: http://biodiversity.org.au/apni.taxon/118883 ; deprecated 2014-11-21 to be replaced by dwciri:toTaxon
To Taxon
Links a subject Location instance to an object Agent instance that did the georeferencing.
Definition based on dwc:identifiedBy but modified to make it appropriate for non-literal values.
People, groups, or organizations who assigned the Taxon to the subject
Definition based on dwc:recordedBy but modified to make it appropriate for non-literal objects.
People, groups, or organizations responsible for recording the original Occurrence.
Links a subject Identification instance to an object Taxon instance.
Deprecated in favor of dwc:organismRemarks on 2014-11-21.
Individual Organism Remarks
Definition taken from Dublin Core vocabulary 2014-11-21.
A spatial region or named place.
Location
A specimen preserved by drying.
Dried Specimen
This class is equivalent to the more well-known Darwin Core class dwc:Organism. It was deprecated following the addition of dwc:Organism to Darwin Core on 2014-10-26.
A particular organism or defined group of organisms considered to be taxonomically homogeneous. Instances of the Organism class are intended to facilitate linking of one or more Identification instances to one or more Occurrence instances. Therefore, things that are typically assigned scientific names (such as viruses, hybrids, and lichens) and aggregates whose occurrences are typically recorded (such as packs, clones, and colonies) are included in the scope of this class.
Individual Organism
Deprecated in favor of the Darwin Core class dwc:LivingSpecimen.
Living Specimen
Deprecated in favor of the Darwin Core class dwc:PreservedSpecimen.
Preserved Specimen
Specimen
A specimen preserved in alcohol.
Specimen In Alcohol
A form of evidence derived from a dwc:Organism.
Token
Definition taken from Darwin Core vocabulary 2014-11-21.
An action that occurs at some location during some time.
Event
A taxonomic determination (e.g., the assignment to a taxon).
Identification
A specimen that is alive.
An existence of an Organism (sensu http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/Organism) at a particular place at a particular time.
Occurrence
Definition taken from Darwin Core vocabulary 2014-11-21. Replaces dsw:IndividualOrganism, which is now deprecated.
A particular organism or defined group of organisms considered to be taxonomically homogeneous.
Organism
A specimen that has been preserved.
Definition taken from Darwin Core vocabulary 2014-11-21. We feel that this class should be considered to be equivalent to TaxonConcept (name plus accordingTo) in TDWG TCS (http://www.tdwg.org/standards/117/). However, this connection has not been explicitly expressed in the Darwin Core standard.
A group of organisms (sensu http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0100026) considered by taxonomists to form a homogeneous unit.
Taxon
A taxon concept class (name plus accordingTo) considered to be equivalent to TaxonConcept in TDWG TCS (http://www.tdwg.org/standards/117/). This class was deprecated in favor of the Darwin Core class dwc:Taxon after the dwc:Taxon definition was clarified on 2014-10-26. Additionally, by that date the TDWG Ontologies (from which this term was taken) were effectively deprecated.
Taxon Concept
Definition taken from FOAF vocabulary 2014-11-21. See also http://purl.org/dc/terms/Agent
An agent (eg. person, group, software or physical artifact).
Agent
Definition taken from FOAF vocabulary 2014-11-21. See also http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/Document
A document.
