Provide examples illustrating how to use AC terms in various circumstances

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Provide an ac Term Name or Label. no particular term
2. Describe the defect or lack of clarity you find in the term. 

At a number of points in the public comment, questions were asked which didn't 
necessarily require changes to terms or additions of missing terms, but rather 
required clarification of how to use the existing terms.  This could probably 
be done most easily by providing some examples.  However, since AC is 
representation-independent, it would probably be best to include examples as 
part of best-practices guides for various kinds of representations (simple 
text, XML, RDF, etc.).  Given that such guides are not likely to be completed 
before the ratification of the generic standard, would it be beneficial to have 
some document (perhaps on the wiki) giving some simple examples to make the use 
of the terms more clear?

Comment from Cyndy Parr <parrc@si.edu> during public comment:

Re: dcterms:source
We have trouble  explaining this one to our providers. In many if not
most cases, the published source is the provider's own page (e.g. if
the image is original to a particular website, we want the URL of the
web page which provides the context in which it first appeared).   So
an example like this in the Notes would be helpful.

Note from Steve: I agree that examples both for dcterms:source and 
ac:derivedFrom would be useful.  I am not sure whether it is appropriate to put 
more in the notes section or if it would be better to just include this in 
examples given in an informational (Type 3) guide that isn't actually included 
in the standard.

Comment from Cyndy Parr <parrc@si.edu> during public comment:

If the resource has been assigned a GUID or is also associated with an
identifier issued by a previous agent or project, where would that go?

Comment from Margaret Cawsey <Margaret.Cawsey@csiro.au> after the end of the 
public review:

I am recording details of the transportMechanism i.e. how we hold/receive the 
sound recordings from the recordists (= collectors) and the brand of this 
mechanism, e.g. CD-R might be the transportMechanism and Verbatim might be the 
brand. Probably more important for open reel tapes. Cornell sound library keeps 
this kind of information at the and we are following their example.

A reply from Steve in an email: As far as the transport/mechanism is concerned, 
it seems a bit more complicated.  There is the term dcterms:format which would 
be appropriate for describing the format of the resource that was sent to you, 
although the recommended values don't get as specific as you mention (there's 
Data-CD and Audio-CD, but nothing about the brand).  If the metadata that you 
are recording is for a resource that will be electronically online, then 
perhaps the most appropriate thing would be to have two records: one for the 
available (online, digital) resource and one for the physical (CD-R) resource 
and then link them using dcterms:source.  But I'm not sure about this.

I've assigned this to Milestone-BestPracticesDoc as these should be in 
information documents as Steve suggests

Find out how GBIF, iDigBio, SYMBIOTA etc. are, or would like to, be using Audubon Core and create best practice document based on that.

Comment copied from https://github.com/tdwg/ac/issues/117:

An example of use is the NEVP project, wrapping DwC and AC assertions about information captured at a high throughput digitization apparatus in a W3C Annotation document for transport to Symbiota and the database of record for ingest of that data. For an example document see: https://sourceforge.net/p/filteredpush/svn/HEAD/tree/FP-Design/trunk/ontologies/oadExamples/NEVP_specimen_example.xml There is also code in Symbiota to process these documents. @ramorrismorris was involved in crafting these documents.

We now have an examples guide for Still Images: https://github.com/tdwg/ac/blob/master/image/examples.md and a stub for Sound: https://github.com/tdwg/ac/blob/master/sound/examples.md We have established this paradigm and can generate guides for other media types when there is interest to create them.
