The doman and range are left blank so this can be used with different kinds of geographic vocabularies and different kinds of taxon concept vocabularies. It should not be used to indicate that a location has the expectation of a specific individual specimen, but to indicate that the location has an expectation of a specific class of organisms. For instance, it would be used to indicate that a geographic location has an expectation of a particular species. The use should approximate assertions similar to what one might find in a state or country checklist. hasPDFVersion inCoLClass inDBpediaClade isExpectedIn This is to link between a taxon-like entity and a geographical area. The doman and range are left blank so this can be used with different kinds of geographic vocabularies and different kinds of taxon concept vocabularies. It should not be used to indicate that a particular individual organism is expecten in a geographical area, but to indicate that the species etc. is expected in a particular geographical area. For instance, it would be used to indicate that a species is expected in a particular state or province. The use should approximate assertions similar to what one might find in a state or country checklist. occurrenceInContinent occurrenceInCounty occurrenceInStateProvince speciesConceptBasedOn This describes the theoretical models behind the species concept. All species concepts are at least based on an Objective Model. In addition the may also be based on a Biological Species Model and or a Phylogenetic Species Model. A species concept could be based on all three of these. This is to reflect that there are several criteria used to support a species concept. It also allows one to create a species concept for the domestic cat that is separate from its wild relative. If one followed a strict phylogentic species model, than the domestic cat would be considered to be a subclass of the species Felis sylvestris. This would result in observations or references about the domestic cat being interpreted as observations or references of the African Wildcat Felis sylvestris. hasGallery speciesConceptHasOriginalDescription hasTopicType hasGNASynonym Ties the species concept URI to the URI for a particular GNA synonym. hasIndividualTag hasTaxonomicDescription asDocumentedByOntology synonymHasSpeciesTaxonConcept predicate that ties a synonym URI to the taxonconcept URI speciesOriginalDescriptionHasSpeciesConcept basionymName class family genus hasBOLD The Barcode of Life Integer ID hasEOL The Encyclopedia of Life Integer ID hasEbird eBird Species Code hasGBIF The Global Biodiversity Information Facility integer ID hasITIS The ITIS ID hasNCBI The NCBI Taxonomy ID hasSpeciesConceptID hybrid kingdom order phylum scientificName The genus and specific epithet. author_year The author and year of the species description publication i.e (Baker, 1899) Specific epithet http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName Bio2RDFTaxon CoL2009Taxon CoL_Taxon_LSID_2009 CoL_Taxon_LSID_2010 CoL_Taxon_LSID_2011 DBpediaTaxon FreebaseTaxon GeoSpeciesTaxon Occurrence OpenCycTaxon SpeciesConcept SpeciesConceptTypeTag IndividualOrganism IndividualTag SpeciesModel OccurrenceTag SpeciesOriginalDescription TaxonConcept TaxonOntology TaxonomicDescription UbioTaxon UniprotTaxon BBC Species Dataset Linkset Concept Document Bio2RDFTaxon BiologicalSpeciesModel A set of actually or potentially interbreeding populations. This is generally a useful formulation for scientists working with living examples of the higher taxa like mammals, fish, and birds, but more problematic for organisms that do not reproduce sexually. The results of breeding experiments done in artificial conditions may or may not reflect what would happen if the same organisms encountered each other in the wild, making it difficult to gauge whether or not the results of such experiments are meaningful in reference to natural populations. - Wikipedia Catalog of Life DBpediaTaxon EUNIS http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/ EUNIS Database FreebaseTaxon http://www.freebase.com/ Freebase GBIF Global Biodiversity Information Facility http://www.gbif.org/ GNI Global Names Index http://gni.globalnames.org/ GeoSpeciesTaxon GeoSpecies Knowledge Base http://lod.geospecies.org/ontology/void#this http://lod.geospecies.org/ Geonames http://www.geonames.org/ GeoNames Iowa Mosquito Knowledge Base http://ia_mdb.geospecies.org/ Iowa Mosquito Knowledge Base http://mosquito.ent.iastate.edu/ http://ia_mdb.geospecies.org/ontology/void#this MushroomObserver http://ocs.geospecies.org/ GeoSpecies Occurrence Records ObjectiveSpeciesModel A species concept based on any objective criteria be it morphological, typological etc. All TaxonConcept species concept are at least based on an Objective Species Model. This is most useful in separating information that applies to a domestic variety from information about a wild relative, which may fall under the same species if determined by the Biological or Phylogentic species models. Ontology OpenCycTaxon PhylogeneticSpeciesModel A group of organisms that shares an ancestor; a lineage that maintains its integrity with respect to other lineages through both time and space. At some point in the progress of such a group, members may diverge from one another: when such a divergence becomes sufficiently clear, the two populations are regarded as separate species. This differs from evolutionary species in that the parent species goes extinct taxonomically when a new species evolve, the mother and daughter populations now forming two new species. Subspecies as such are not recognized under this approach; either a population is a phylogenetic species or it is not taxonomically distinguishable. - Wikipedia TaxonConcept2EUNIS TaxonConcept2GNI TaxonConcept2Iowa_Mosquito TaxonConceptCommunity The community of groups involved in TaxonConcept.org TaxonConcept_Knowledge_Base_Project http://lod.taxonconcept.org/index.html Peter J.
