Wikibase implementation of the TDWG Latimer Core standard
This Wikibase is part of the non-normative documentation of the Latimer Core standard. It contains all current properties defined in the standard and the advised schema to use those properties.
Wikibase model
This Wikibase contains the properties defined in the Latimer Core standard. In case a controlled vocabulary is needed for a property, this is modelled as follows:
- The property is pointing to an 'Item'
- This item should be an instance of a 'Concept'. See this example: FossilSpecimens (Q26)
Collection modelling
Example institutional record
As an example, we modeled the FMNH institutional collection in the Wikibase. The main components of the example description are:
- General description of the collection: FMNH institutional collection (Q62)
- Descriptions of the collection metrics (simplified!): FMNH total objects (Q71)
Example Queries on collections
