Basis of Record: The specific nature of the data record — a subtype of the dcterms:type. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/type-vocabulary/index.htm).

Notes: The basisOfRecord is meant to express the category of the source of information in a record. It is more specific than the dcterms:type term, which expresses the Dublin Core resource type (PhysicalObject, Event, StillImage, MovingImage, Sound, etc.) of a record. The values listed here are string literal versions of the formal Darwin Core Type Vocabulary (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/type-vocabulary/index.htm) that can be represented by URIs, which should be used when appropriate, such as in RDF. For example, use

<dwc:basisOfRecord rdf:resource="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/dwctype/PreservedSpecimen"/>

rather than

<dwc:basisOfRecord>PreservedSpecimen</dwc:basisOfRecord>

(where xmlns:dwc="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/").

The recommended basisOfRecord controlled vocabulary includes:

Occurrence
A resource describing an instance of the Occurrence class.
Event
A non-persistent, time-based occurrence. For Darwin Core, a resource describing an instance of the Event class.
Location
A resource describing an instance of the Location class.
Taxon
A resource describing an instance of the Taxon class.
PreservedSpecimen
A resource describing a preserved specimen.
FossilSpecimen
A resource describing a fossilized specimen.
LivingSpecimen
A resource describing a living specimen.
HumanObservation
A resource describing an observation made by one or more people.
MachineObservation
A resource describing an observation made by a machine.
NomenclaturalChecklist
A resource describing a nomenclatural checklist.

For further discussion, see dcterms:type.

Example(s): PreservedSpecimen, FossilSpecimen, LivingSpecimen, HumanObservation, MachineObservation

Constraints in the context of Darwin Core:

  • rdfs:range: Darwin Core Type Vocabulary (=the class or datatype of the values or objects that are assigned to “dwc:basisOfRecord”, i.e. the right side in the triple)

Translations

Deutsch (German)
Datengrundlage: Die Grundlage des Datensatzes – ein Subtyp von dcterms: Type. Generell wird empfohlen, ein festgelegtes Vokabular wie das Darwin Core Type Vokabular (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/type-vocabulary/index.htm) zu verwenden.
Beispiel: „Erhaltenes Exemplar“, „Fossil“, „lebendes Exemplar“, „menschliche Beobachtung“, "Geräte-Beobachtung"
Español (Spanish)
Base del registro: La naturaleza específica del registro de datos - un subtipo de Tipo. La práctica recomendada es el uso de lenguaje controlado como el vocabulario controlado para Tipo de Darwin Core (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/type-vocabulary/index.htm).
Ejemplo: "Espécimen Preservado", "Espécimen Fósil", "Espécimen Vivo", "Observación Humana"
Français (French)
Base de registre: La nature spécifique de l'enregistrement de données - un sous-type des dcterms: type. La pratique recommandée est d'utiliser un vocabulaire contrôlé tel que le vocabulaire Darwin Core Type (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/type-vocabulary/index.htm).
Exemple: "Spécimen préservé", "spécimen fossile", "spécimen vivant", "Observation humaines", "Observation Machine"
日本語 (Japanese)
Basis of Record: レコード情報の具体的内容(dcterms:typeのsubtype)。the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/type-vocabulary/index.htm)など、管理された語彙の使用を推奨。
Example: "プリザーブド標本"、 "化石標本"、 "リビング標本"、 "人間観察"、"機械の観測"
中文(简体)‎ (Simplified Chinese)
记录基础: 数据记录的特有属性——dcterms:type的子类。建议最好使用控制性词汇,如达尔文核心类型词汇(http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/type-vocabulary/index.htm)。
