New Term - typeOfType

[tucotuco]

New term

• Submitter: Darwin Core Data Package Coordination Team
• Efficacy Justification (why is this term necessary?): see Darwin Core Data Package (DwC-DP) Implementation Experience and Feature Report
• Demand Justification (name at least two organizations that independently need this term): see Darwin Core Data Package (DwC-DP) Implementation Experience and Feature Report
• Stability Justification (what concerns are there that this might affect existing implementations?): None
• Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?: The IRI version of this term is defined in the tcs namespace.

Proposed attributes of the new term version (Please put actual changes to be implemented in bold and strikethrough):

• Term name (in lowerCamelCase for properties, UpperCamelCase for classes): typeOfType
• Term label (English, not normative): Type Of Type
• Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): MaterialEntity
• Definition of the term (normative): A category of nomenclatural type of a dwc:MaterialEntity.
• Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the GBIF Nomenclatural Type Status Vocabulary. This term has an equivalent in the tcs: namespace that allows only an IRI as a value, whereas this term allows for any string literal value.
• Examples (not normative):
  holotype; isotype
• Refines (identifier of the broader term this term refines; normative): None
• Replaces (identifier of the existing term that would be deprecated and replaced by this term; normative): None
• ABCD 2.06 (XPATH of the equivalent term in ABCD or EFG; not normative): DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/SpecimenUnit/NomenclaturalTypeDesignations/TypeStatus
