dwc:samplingProtocol
A term from the Darwin Core standard with a different definition in the dwc: and the dwciri: namespace:
[dwc:] The names of, references to, or descriptions of the methods or protocols used during a dwc:Event [dwciri:] The methods or protocols used during a dwc:Event, denoted by an IRI.
Notes
Recommended best practice is describe a dwc:Event with no more than one sampling protocol. In the case of a summary Event with multiple protocols, in which a specific protocol can not be attributed to specific dwc:Occurrences, the recommended best practice is to separate the values in a list with space vertical bar space ( | ). 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.
