= GBIF Vocabulary of Terms =

The '''[[rdfs:label:=GBIF Vocabulary of Terms]]''' is described by the canonical URI "http://rs.gbif.org/terms/" (the vocabulary is of rdf:type = skos:ConceptScheme). The preferred namespace prefix is "'''[[vann:preferredNamespacePrefix:=gbif]]'''" with namespace URI = "[[rdfs:isDefinedBy:=http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/]]". Minting the GBIF Terms here. Each term will have it's own Wiki page with the description of the term.  Terms are presented here organized alphabetical by their group (skos:Collection). The first step when setting up a new vocabulary (with external namespace URIs) is to import the term identifier URIs to the Wiki. This is done using a special wiki page in the "MediaWiki" wiki-namespace  and starting with "Smw_import_" followed by the local namespace prefix to be used by the Wiki. For the GBIF terms we use: [[MediaWiki:Smw_import_gbif]].
