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)
Namespace URI: http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/Collection with preferred namespace prefix “ncd”.
The preferred namespace prefix “ncd” is defined on: Each preferred namespace prefix on this platform must be unique. Please edit the pages above, changing all but one namespace prefix. In general, you should keep the namespace on the most prominent or largest vocabulary unchanged. If a prefix is already defined on a concept scheme, do not repeat that definition in a collection.
The namespace URI http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/Collection# that is based on the SMW-import-page MediaWiki:Smw import ncd (used, e.g. for RDF export) has no matching namespace prefix and namespace URI definition on the concept scheme page; please add one!
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:
