GGBN uses 'ncd:KingdomType' with KingdomTypeTerm values from this controlled vocab: http://tdwg.github.io/ontology/ontology/voc/Collection.rdf
animalia archaebacteria eubacteria fungi plantae protista
I think for kingdom (and any taxonomy term) you would need to allow multiple controlled vocabs, and state which one (which taxonomic view) you are using. For instance CoL uses a different one from GGBN: kingdom: Animalia kingdom: Archaea kingdom: Bacteria Cavalier-Smith, 2002 kingdom: Chromista kingdom: Fungi kingdom: Plantae kingdom: Protozoa kingdom: Viruses which is a working classification and with the addition for viruses again different from the currently scientific accepted view from Cavalier-Smith et all 2015.
