Notes

This class constitutes a new value for the controlled vocabulary in the recommendations for basisOfRecord. When importing Darwin Core Archives of literature-based datasets to GBIF, the basisOfRecord should be changed from "Occurrence", "PreservedSpecimen" or "Literature" to "MaterialCitation".

Examples

  • a citation of a physical specimen from a scientific collection in a taxonomic treatment in a scientific publication
  • a citation of a group of physical specimens, such as paratypes in a taxonomic treatment in a scientific publication
