Global Names Architecture (GNA)
The Global Names Architecture is described by the canonical URI "http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/" (the vocabulary is of rdf:type = skos:ConceptScheme). The preferred namespace prefix is "gna" with namespace URI = "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_gna.

- The "GNA Terms" are used by some of the Darwin Core Extensions: http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/
- Export RDF for all of the GNA Terms as declared at this Wiki
Collections (groups)
Minting the groups for organizing the Global Names Architecture (GNA) Terms here (groups are of rdf:type = skos:Collection).
- gna:Description [1] (taxon description)
- gna:Distribution [2] (species distribution)
- gna:Identifier [3]
- gna:Image [4]
- gna:Reference [5] (literature references)
- gna:SpeciesProfile [6]
- gna:TypesAndSpecimen [7]
- gna:VernacularName [8]
Concept Terms
Minting the individual GNA Terms here (terms are of rdf:type = skos:Concept).
Taxon Description (gna:Description)
Darwin Core Taxon extension to exchange simple text or paragraph based taxon descriptions. Not suitable for structured descriptions and keys, but useful for creating species pages. (No new terms defined).
dcterms:description | dcterms:type | dcterms:source | dcterms:language | dcterms:created | dcterms:creator | dcterms:contributor | dcterms:audience | dcterms:license | dcterms:rightsHolder
Species Distribution (gna:Distribution)
Geographic distribution of a taxon.
Alternative Identifiers (gna:Identifier)
Other known identifier used for the same taxon or occurrence. Can be a URL pointing to a webpage, an xml or rdf document, a DOI, UUID or any other identifier. (No new terms defined).
dcterms:identifier | dcterms:title | dcterms:subject | dcterms:format
Simple Images (gna:Image)
Simple extension for exchanging metadata, in particular links, for species or occurrence images. (No new terms defined).
dcterms:identifier | dcterms:references | dcterms:title | dcterms:description | dcterms:spatial | geo:latitude | geo:longitude | dcterms:format | dcterms:created | dcterms:creator | dcterms:contributor | dcterms:publisher | dcterms:audience | dcterms:license | dcterms:rightsHolder
Literature References (gna:Reference)
Bibliography for a taxon. (No new terms defined).
dcterms:identifier | dcterms:bibliographicCitation | dcterms:title | dcterms:creator | dcterms:date | dcterms:source | dcterms:description | dcterms:subject | dcterms:language | dcterms:rights | dwc:taxonRemarks | dcterms:type
Species Profile (gna:SpeciesProfile)
Terms for basic species characteristics in addition to textural description which are covered by the description terms.
gna:isMarine | gna:isTerrestrial | gna:isHybrid | gna:isExtinct | gna:livingPeriod | gna:ageInDays | gna:sizeInMillimeters | gna:massInGrams | gna:lifeForm | dwc:habitat | dwc:sex
Types and Specimen (gna:TypesAndSpecimen)
Terms for description of specimens and types, including type specimens, type species and type genera and simple specimens unrelated to types.
dwc:typeStatus | gna:typeDesignatedBy | gna:typeDesignationType | dwc:scientificName | dwc:taxonRank | dcterms:bibliographicCitation | dwc:occurrenceID | dwc:institutionCode | dwc:collectionCode | dwc:catalogNumber | dwc:locality | dwc:sex | dwc:recordedBy | dcterms:source | dwc:verbatimEventDate | gna:verbatimLabel | dwc:verbatimLongitude | dwc:verbatimLatitude
Vernacular Names (gna:VernacularName)
Terms for providing a list of vernacular names for a scientific taxon name.
dwc:vernacularName | dcterms:source | dcterms:language | dcterms:temporal | dwc:locationID | dwc:locality | dwc:countryCode | dwc:sex | dwc:lifeStage | gna:isPlural | gna:isPreferredName | gna:organismPart | dwc:taxonRemarks
GBIF Vocabulary of Terms
| Properties | Values |
|---|---|
| Name | Global Names Architecture, Vocabulary of Terms |
| Namespace | http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/ |
| Identifier | http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/ |
| Description | The Global Names Architecture (GNA) Vocabulary of Terms includes terms minted by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). |
| Creator | Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) |
| Rights holder | Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) |

| Type | skos:ConceptScheme |
| Comment | The base URI of the Global Names Architecture (GNA) Vocabulary of Terms is http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/. Please make sure that you are only using element identifiers in this namespace, e.g. "http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/Description". There may be copies of the ontology file on the Web which can be retrieved from other locations, but those locations should not be used as the basis of identifiers. |
| Namespace | http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/ |
| Prefix | gna |

Topics for discussion (please use the discussion page)
- The GNA Vocabulary is defined at the "http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/". Perhaps it is useful to migrate the GNA terms to a dedicated namespace such as "http://rs.gbif.org/terms/gbif/gna#" or "http://purl/gbif/gna#" to support long-term persistence!
