dwc:Organism

A term from the Darwin Core standard:

A particular organism or defined group of organisms considered to be taxonomically homogeneous.

Notes

Instances of the dwc:Organism class are intended to facilitate linking one or more dwc:Identification instances to one or more dwc:Occurrence instances. Therefore, things that are typically assigned scientific names (such as viruses, hybrids, and lichens) and aggregates whose dwc:Occurrences are typically recorded (such as packs, clones, and colonies) are included in the scope of this class.

Examples

  • a specific bird
  • a specific wolf pack
  • a specific instance of a bacterial culture
