associatedTaxa definition clarification or add example

GillBrown commented 7 years ago

When it says "A list of names of taxa and their associations with the Occurrence." should we specify this is the "full scientific name" or are abbreviations ok? Maybe an example would suffice.

I will think of a better explanation what will go in there. I think we need a usage note, as well as examples.

Here are some examples:

{"hispid:host": "Eucalyptus robertsonii"}

{
  "hispid:host": "Eucalyptus robertsonii"
}

{"hispid:growingWith": ["Acacia myrtifolia", "Eutaxia obovata", "Agonis linearifolia", "Pimelea imbricata", "Verticordia plumosa"]}

{
  "hispid:growingWith": [
    "Acacia myrtifolia", 
    "Eutaxia obovata", 
    "Agonis linearifolia", 
    "Pimelea imbricata", 
    "Verticordia plumosa"
  ]
}

These two combined:

{
  "hispid:host": "Eucalyptus robertsonii",
  "hispid:growingWith": [
    "Acacia myrtifolia", 
    "Eutaxia obovata", 
    "Agonis linearifolia", 
    "Pimelea imbricata", 
    "Verticordia plumosa"
  ]
}

I have to say I can't deliver the growingWith part like that myself, as we don't (can't) have the structure in our database, so it is a text field and people have been using it like that (despite being told not to).

This is actually an invitation for discussion on the format. It is just one way Darwin Core says it can be implemented (but the one I immediately understood how to).
