Notes	Widely applicable for Occurrences vouchered by MateralSamples, but not generally applicable to observational Occurrence data. 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. See comments.

Generally not applicable to observational data not vouchered by material samples. Also outside scope of CORE research uses, falling outside of scope of what taxon where when concepts crossing most research uses.

Darwin Core class should be MaterialEntity, without a space to be consistent with https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/279, https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/280

Changed Material Entity to dwc:MatrerialEntity
