Please provide the following information:

Primary label for the proposed term: Darwin Core Organism

Definition:

From Darwin core: A particular organism or defined group of organisms 
considered to be taxonomically homogeneous.

Comment:Instances of the Organism class are intended to facilitate linking of 
one or more Identification instances to one or more Occurrence instances. 
Therefore, things that are typically assigned scientific names (such as 
viruses, hybrids, and lichens) and aggregates whose occurrences are typically 
recorded (such as packs, clones, and colonies) are included in the scope of 
this class. For discussion see http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/dwc:Organism

Definition source: http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/#Organism

Name of submitter: Ramona Walls

ORCID of submitter (if known):

Any other information:
This will need to be some kind of union class like CARO:organsims or 
PCO:population or pco:collection of organism. Need to work on logical 
definition.

Decision on 2/6/2015 was to create a draft definition and list of entities that 
can be included in this class (for DwC), to be reviewed/discussed on this list. 
There was agreement that we should focus on the intended/central use cases for 
this term, and not get too bogged down in corner cases. Also an agreement that 
the logical definitions will need to include some reference to the 
observing/sampling process. May be possible to reference obi:participant under 
investigation.

Darwin Core mappings happen in BCO, so this issue does not need to be here.
