dcterms:title: maybe rename to dcterms:type #172

Open DavidFichtmueller opened 1 month ago

Term Name

dcterms:title

Digital Object Name

DigitalSpecimen: Identifier

Feedback

both from the definition and the examples we think that dcterms:type would be more fitting to describe the type of identifier we are dealing with, e.g. "orcid", "ror", "wikidata". An alternative name could also be conformsTo. (while from the meaning the word format would also be fitting as the term name, it clashes with the dcterms:format already used within ods:Identifier).

Renamed this to dcterms:type. We initially used dcterms:title to remain in line with the Alternative Identifiers DWCA extension. However, as multiple reviewers have now indicated that this term doesn't match the description, I believe there are enough arguments to deviate here and use dcterms:type

After some discussion we decided to include both dcterms:type and dcterms:title but use the latter for a title/name for the identifier. This is in line with our policy to combine an identifier with a name as much as possible.
