Map hispid:lifeForm to gbif:lifeForm

[nielsklazenga]

GBIF already has the lifeForm field, so I propose to use their identifier, http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/lifeForm, and map the HISPID term to the GBIF term.

<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/lifeForm">
    <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Life Form</rdfs:label>
    <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#Property"/>
    <skos:definition xml:lang="en">A controlled vocabulary term describing the habit or life form of the specimen on which the collection object is based.</skos:definition>
    <dwcattributes:status>recommended</dwcattributes:status>
    <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/"/>
    <dcterms:modified rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#date">2015-07-11</dcterms:modified>
    <dcterms:replaces rdf:resource="http://hiscom.chah.org.au/hispid/terms/lifeForm-2015-07-11"/>
    <skos:scopeNote>Vocabulary: http://hiscom.chah.org.au/hispid/vocabulary/life_form.xml</skos:scopeNote>
    <skos:note>In previous editions of HISPID lifeForm (form) has been free text, but in the current edition it is intended for providing term(s) from a vocabulary. Free-text from previous implementations should be concatenated into occurrenceRemarks when exchanged. In the context of specimen data the term should only be used to transfer the lifeForm information associated with that specimen, not the taxon it belongs to.</skos:note>
    <skos:note>We intend to provide a controlled vocabulary, and/or a term to identify a controlled vocabulary.  The linked vocabulary provides examples of terms that may be used.</skos:note>

Thanks guys. We'll action this at the next teleconference, but I will implement it in the XSD and CMF files I am creating already.
