Geological time periods and events
The Geological time periods and events vocabulary of concepts is described by the canonical URI http://rs.gbif.org/terms/geotime (the vocabulary is of rdf:type = skos:ConceptScheme). The preferred namespace prefix is "geotime" with namespace URI = http://rs.gbif.org/terms/geotime#. When minting the geotime concepts here, each concept will have it's own Wiki page with a definition and further descriptions. An overview of the concepts are (will be) 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 concept 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 species interaction concepts we use: MediaWiki:Smw_import_geotime.
Controlled values for Controlled Value Vocabularies are recommended by the VoMaG task group (http://community.gbif.org/pg/groups/21382/) to be RE-USED from a SKOS RDF resource. The SKOS RDF resource is recommended to provide the definition of the concepts designed for maximal potential to be re-used. A new draft SKOS RDF resource for geological time periods and events was developed and made available at http://rs.gbif.org/sandbox/terms/geotime.rdf. This new and draft SKOS vocabulary provides the definitions for the concepts re-used here in a controlled value vocabulary for species interactions. This model allows for multiple controlled value vocabularies to re-use concepts from the same SKOS vocabularies. And each Controlled Value Vocabulary may re-use concepts defined by different SKOS vocabularies.
Controlled value vocabularies
The terms for this RDF Vocabulary were originally developed using the GBIF Vocabulary Server. The terms here are actually reverse-engineered from the controlled value vocabularies. These controlled value vocabularies will be updated with the re-used URIs from this RDF Vocabulary and deposited to the GBIF Resources Repository at http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/.

| Scope note | The GeoTime vocabulary provides the nomenclature for geological time periods based on the Geologic Time Scale 2004 (GTS2004). These terms are used by a number of controlled value vocabularies designed to be used together with the TDWG Darwin Core standard...(what the vocabulary does and does not cover) |
| Editorial note | Notice that the base URI for the GeoTime vocabulary (draft version) is "http://rs.gbif.org/terms/geotime#". Please make sure that you are only using element identifiers in this namespace, e.g. "http://rs.gbif.org/terms/geotime#TERM". There may be copies of the vocabulary file on the Web which can be retrieved from other locations, but those locations should not be used as the basis of identifiers. |
