|description=Natural Collections Description (NCD) is a data standard for describing collections of natural history materials at the collection level; one NCD record describes one entire collection. NCD is published by [[dc:publisher:=Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG)]] from the [[rdfs:isDefinedBy::http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/Collection]] namespace. The term descriptions are extracted from the NCD version 0.9 prepared by the [http://www.tdwg.org/activities/ncd/ TDWG NCD interest group] and the [http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/ TDWG Ontology].

Natural Collections Description (NCD) is a data standard for describing collections of natural history materials at the collection level; one NCD record describes one entire collection. NCD is published by Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) from the http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/Collection namespace. The term descriptions are extracted from the NCD version 0.9 prepared by the TDWG NCD interest group and the TDWG Ontology.

Homepage: http://www.tdwg.org/activities/ncd/

Notes: NCD creates multiple namespaces, not a single one, it thus has not single Preferred namespace prefix/uri.

Creators: Neil Thomson (Natural History Museum - London), Roger Hyam (Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh), Constance Rinaldo (Harvard University), Carol Butler (Smithsonian Institution), Doug Holland (Missouri Botanical Gardens), Barbara Mathé (American Museum of Natural History), Günter Waibel (RLG Programs - OCLC), Wouter Addink (ETI Bioinformatics), Ruud Altenburg (ETI), Markus Döring (Berlin Botanic Garden)


 


Concepts in Natural Collections Description:
By label: Collection Identifier  •  Taxon Coverage
By concept name: ac:taxonCoverage  •  ncd-collection:collectionId

Editorial Note: see also discussion on Preferred Namespaces.

While above an automatic list according to the new skos:Concept template is shown, the list below is a manual link list from the early use of the terms wiki:
