CETAF Specimen Preview Profile (CSPP)

CETAF Specimen Preview Profile (CSPP)

The CSPP is a minimal set of agreed (RDF) collection metadata elements implemented consistently accross CETAF organisations. The purpose of CSPP is to provide a stable resource enabling preview functions in specimen portals. The CSPP is not meant to be comprehensive, which means that Linked Open (collection) Data implementations of CETAF instutions will usually provide much richer metadata with additional RDF-elements.

CSPP Elements

CSPP element	RDF resource URI	Notes
title	http://purl.org/dc/terms/title	Mandatory. Collection may decide themselves on the content of the title element. This could usually be a scientific name (with or without authorship), but it could also contain additional information on collectors and projects for example.
kindOfMaterial	URI
scientificNameCurrent	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName	The latest full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known.
family	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/family	The full scientific name of the family in which the taxon is classified.
scientifcNameOriginal	URI
collectorNumber	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/recordNumber	An identifier given to the Occurrence at the time it was recorded. Often serves as a link between field notes and an Occurrence record, such as a specimen collector's number.
collectorName	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/recordedBy	A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups, or organizations responsible for recording the original Occurrence. The primary collector or observer, especially one who applies a personal identifier (recordNumber), should be listed first.
webscaledImageLink	URI
