GGBN Loan Vocabulary
This is a collection within the GGBN Data Standard. It contains the following concepts:
By label: Blocked • Blocked Until • Disposition • Loan Conditions • Loan Date • Loan Destination,Loaned To • Loan Identifier,Loan Number • Received From
By concept name: dwc:disposition • ggbn:blocked • ggbn:blockedUntil • ggbn:loanConditions • ggbn:loanDate • ggbn:loanDestination • ggbn:loanIdentifier • ggbn:receivedFrom
These terms have been developed for specific GGBN purposes but can be used in a broader context. The loan vocabulary terms are specific to the aspects of loaning information on specimens, tissue or DNA samples. The vocabulary is still under review. We appreciate any input or feedback. To do so please contact the GGBN secretariat at ggbn[at]si.edu.
Principal usage: The GGBN Loan Vocabulary is meant to be used with a 1:many relation for 1 specimen, tissue, or DNA record. Within a Darwin Core-Archive implementation it can be used with both the Occurrence Core and the new defined Material Sample Core. Within ABCD please use the ABCDGGBN implementation. GGBN requirements and recommendations for usage and example content will follow soon.
