Darwin Core
https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/
Best Practices…
• Single identifier per person
• Resolvable URI (eg http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2624463)
• Multiple URIs for 2+ people separated by: <space> | <space>
• Desirable: identifier is a known property on Wikidata
54 datasets including…
2.1M instances on GBIF.org
Limitations…
• Only available as a counterpart for recordedBy and identifiedBy
• What about georeferencedBy, measurementDeterminedBy?
• Does not include:
• Type of agent: Person or Organization (or Software?)
• Type of identifier: VIAF, ORCID, ISNI, etc.
• Display order
• Aliases
• Verbatim representations (eg Mrs. John Smith)
• Granularity of actions (eg verified, observed, preserved, transcribed, etc.)

Agent Action Occurrence
(Observation / Material Sample)
agentType, agentIdentifierType, identifier, name, alternateName,
verbatimName
action, role, displayOrder, startedAtTime, endedAtTime
Vocab: Person, Organization, SoftwareApplication
Vocab: ORCID, VIAF, Wikidata, ResearcherID, HUH, RoR, Ringgold, GRID
Vocab: collected, identified, verified, georeferenced, prepared, etc.
Vocab: primary collector role, specimen collection role (Contributor Role Ontology)
eg “1” or “2” (Getty Vocabulary)
What Does it Look Like?

Next Steps…
Manuscript in preparation for Biodiversity Information Science and
Standards
NEEDS: agreement on action terms, definitions and translations, use-
cases, resolution between adjoining extensions (eg identification
history extension)
