Notes This bdq:Supplementary test is not regarded as CORE (cf. bdq:CORE) because of one or more of the reasons: not being widely applicable; not informative; not straightforward to implement or likely to return a high percentage of either bdq:COMPLIANT or bdq:NOT_COMPLIANT results (cf bdq:Response.result). A Supplementary test may be implemented as CORE when a suitable use case exists.

As with validation_island_notempty, this feels like it is almost certainly a do not implement test, dwc:islandGroup will almost always be empty, except for cases where the material was collected on (or off shore, depending on interpretation) of an islandGroup. Examination of other terms will make it very difficult to assert that island group should contain a value, as there seem few cases where particular values in other terms would impose a requirement that islandGroup should contain a value (with a few cases where the country is entirely composed of islands, and island is unique and occurs only within an islandGroup).
