dwciri:caste

Caste may be defined as the subdivision of a colony of social insects into groups characterized by a shared morphogenetic pathway that has diverged irreversibly from that of other such groups in the colony.

Notes

Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary that aligns best with the dwc:Taxon. Terms in the dwciri namespace are intended to be used in RDF with non-literal objects.
