dwc:verticalDatum

A term from the Darwin Core standard with equivalent definition in the dwc: and the dwciri: namespace:

The vertical datum used as the reference upon which the values in the elevation terms are based.

Notes

Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary. This term has an equivalent in the dwciri: namespace that allows only an IRI as a value, whereas this term allows for any string literal value.
