Term Name

dwc:nameAccordingTo

Digital Object Name

DigitalSpecimen: TaxonIdentification

Feedback

This term was borrowed from DwC, and has its place within openDS, as its purpose can only partially be covered by the use of an object property to the Agent class. But why was the corresponding dwc:nameAccordingToID not included as well?

Rereading the definition in DarwinCore I feel both terms can be covered in the ods:hasCitation property.
The DarwinCore definition is:
The reference to the source in which the specific taxon concept circumscription is defined or implied - traditionally signified by the Latin "sensu" or "sec." (from secundum, meaning "according to"). For taxa that result from identifications, a reference to the keys, monographs, experts and other sources should be given.
What do you think, or would we start dropping information if we put this in ods:Citation?
