Efficacy Justification (why is this term necessary?): Part of a package of terms in support of biological inventory data.
Demand Justification (name at least two organizations that independently need this term): The Humboldt Extension Task Group proposing this term consists of numerous organizations.
Stability Justification (what concerns are there that this might affect existing implementations?): None
Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?: Needs ecoiri: equivalent in combination with eco:targetLifeStageScope.
Proposed attributes of the new term:
Term name (in lowerCamelCase for properties, UpperCamelCase for classes): excludedLifeStageScope
Term label (English, not normative): Excluded Life Stage Scope
Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): Event
Definition of the term (normative): The age classes or life stages of the dwc:Organisms explicitly excluded from sampling during the dwc:Event.
Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): This term is defined based on dwc:lifeStage (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/lifeStage). Recommended best practice is to use the same controlled vocabulary as for dwc:lifeStage and to separate multiple values in a list with space vertical bar space ( | ).
