This document includes terms intended to be used as controlled values for the Darwin Core terms dwc:materialSampleType and dwciri:materialSampleType. A JSON-LD representation of this SKOS Concept Scheme is available.
Section 1 is informative (non-normative).
Section 2 is normative except as noted.
Section 3 is informative.
In Section 4, the values of the Term IRI, Definition, and Controlled value are normative. The value of Usage (if it exists for a given term) is normative. The value of Has broader concept is normative. The values of Term Name are non-normative, although one can expect that the namespace abbreviation prefix is one commonly used for the term namespace. Label and the values of all other properties (such as Notes or Examples) are non-normative.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
In accordance with the Darwin Core Term List document, unabbreviated term IRIs MUST be used as values of the property dwciri:materialSampleType. Controlled value strings MUST be used as values of the property dwc:materialSampleType.
