dwc:sampleSizeUnit

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

The unit of measurement of the size (time duration, length, area, or volume) of a sample in a sampling dwc:Event.

Notes

A dwc:sampleSizeUnit must have a corresponding dwc:sampleSizeValue, e.g., 5 for dwc:sampleSizeValue with m for dwc:sampleSizeUnit. 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.

Examples

  • minute
  • hour
  • day
  • metre
  • square metre
  • cubic metre
