Nomenclature Heading
Inside the taxonomic nomenclature section, we have the treatment title (name of the taxon).
Nomenclature Citations List
A section in a treatment that includes the citation of one or several previous treatments of the taxon.

Taxonomic Checklist
A section in a taxonomic article.
A taxonomic name usage is the mentioning of a taxonomic name(scientific name, taxonomic concept label, etc.), optionally with a taxonomic status.
Taxonomic Name Usage
taxonomic status
the IRI version of the DwC term taxonomic status
Taxonomic Name
Biological Name
Scientific Name
Latinized Scientific Name
Linnaean Name
Taxon Concept Label
A taxon concept label is a taxonomic name usage accompanied by an additional part, consisting of 'sec.' + an identifier or a literature reference of a work containing the expression of a taxon concept (treatment).
Operational Taxonomic Unit Identifier
The identifier of an Operational Taxonomic Unit, such as BOLD BIN or a Unite SH ID
Vernacular Name
name according to
the IRI version of dwc:nameAccordingTo
OpenBiodiv name according to
sensu
The reference to the source in which the specific taxonomic concept circumscription is defined or implied - traditionally signified by the Latin 'sensu' or 'sec.'' (from secundum, meaning 'according to'). For taxa that are relevantly circumscribed by identifications, a reference to the keys, monographs, experts and other sources should be given. Should only be used with IRI's
has related name
'has related name' is an object property that we use in order to indicate that two taxonomic names are related somehow. This relationship is purposely vague as to encompass all situations where two taxonomic names co-occur in a text. It is transitive and reflexive.
has replacement name
This is a uni-directional property. Its meaning is that one Linnaean name links to a different Linnaean name via the usage of this property, then the object name is more accurate and should be preferred given the information that system currently holds. This property is only defined for Linnaean names.
Example: The genus Truncorotaloides as published by Brönnimann et al. in 1953 in the Journal of Paleontology Vol. 27(6) p. 817-820.
A group of organisms (sensu http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0100026) considered by taxonomists to form a homogeneous unit.

RCC5 Relation
The of RCC 5 relation, e.g. 'partially overlaps'
Connects to the RCC5 statement to the originating region
Connects to the RCC5 statement to the target region
Connects an RCC-5 statement to the type of RCC-5 relation between the regions.
In which publication was the statement made
The status following a taxonomic name usage in a taxonomic manuscript, i.e. 'n. sp.', 'comb. new', 'sec. Franz (2017)', etc
Taxonomic Status Term
The status following a taxonomic name usage in a taxonomic manuscript
Occurrence
An existence of an Organism at a particular place at a particular time.
Examples: A wolf pack on the shore of Kluane Lake in 1988.
Identification
A taxonomic determination (e.g., the assignment to a taxon).
Example: A subspecies determination of an organism.
Event
An action that occurs at some location during some time.
Examples: A specimen collection process. A machine observation.
personal identifier
An identifier that uniquely identities an individual person, belonging to a particular identifier scheme such as ORCID specified by an individual within the class datacite:PersonalIdentifierScheme.
resource identifier
An identifier that is used to uniquely identifies a resource.
resource identifier scheme
The identifier scheme used to identify a resource. Individual schemes are defines as members of this class. For DataCite, the only permitted identifier scheme for the primary resource identifier is the Digital Object Identifier.

Checklist
A checklist, usually contained in the treatment section
NomenclatureCitation
A nomenclature citation contained in the nomenclature citation list section
Institution
An institution - usually holds type material
TaxonomicDiscovery
A taxonomic discovery defined by the mentioning of a holotype in the treatment section
HolotypeDescription
Description of a holotype in a treatment
Institution Code
The name (or acronym) in use by the institution having custody of the object(s) or information referred to in the record.
Type Status
A list (concatenated and separated) of nomenclatural types (type status, typified scientific name, publication) applied to the subject.
The recommended best practice is to separate the values with a vertical bar.
The verbatim original spatial coordinates of the Location. The coordinate ellipsoid, geodeticDatum, or full Spatial Reference System (SRS) for these coordinates should be stored in verbatimSRS and the coordinate system should be stored in verbatimCoordinateSystem.
verbatimCoordinates
An identifier given to the Occurrence at the time it was recorded. Often serves as a link between field notes and an Occurrence record, such as a specimen collector's number.
The subject is a dwc:Occurrence and the object is a (possibly IRI-identified) resource that is the field notes.
recordNumber
A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups, or organizations responsible for recording the original Occurrence. The primary collector or observer, especially one who applies a personal identifier (recordNumber), should be listed first.
Recommended best practice is to separate the values in a list with space vertical bar space.
recordedBy
The name of the country or major administrative unit in which the Location occurs.
Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names.
country
The name of the next smaller administrative region than country (state, province, canton, department, region, etc.) in which the Location occurs.
stateProvince
The specific description of the place. Less specific geographic information can be provided in other geographic terms (higherGeography, continent, country, stateProvince, county, municipality, waterBody, island, islandGroup). This term may contain information modified from the original to correct perceived errors or standardize the description.
locality
The date-time or interval during which an Event occurred. For occurrences, this is the date-time when the event was recorded. Not suitable for a time in a geological context.
eventDate
An identifier for the Occurrence (as opposed to a particular digital record of the occurrence). In the absence of a persistent global unique identifier, construct one from a combination of identifiers in the record that will most closely make the occurrenceID globally unique.
Recommended best practice is to use a persistent, globally unique identifier.
occurrenceID
An identifier for the set of information associated with an Event (something that occurs at a place and time). May be a global unique identifier or an identifier specific to the data set.
eventID
An identifier for the Identification (the body of information associated with the assignment of a scientific name). May be a global unique identifier or an identifier specific to the data set.
identificationID
An identifier for the set of location information (data associated with dcterms:Location). May be a global unique identifier or an identifier specific to the data set.
locationID
An identifier (preferably unique) for the record within the data set or collection.
catalogNumber
A list (concatenated and separated) of previous or alternate fully qualified catalog numbers or other human-used identifiers for the same Occurrence, whether in the current or any other data set or collection.
otherCatalogNumbers
The number of individuals represented present at the time of the Occurrence.
individualCount
The sex of the biological individual(s) represented in the Occurrence.
sex
The age class or life stage of the biological individual(s) at the time the Occurrence was recorded.
