In the Humboldt Extension Task Group meeting today it was agreed that the eco:identificationReferences term need not be created if the dwc:identificationReferences term is included in the extension in its place. However, doing so, The Task Group proposes that an addition be made to the comments of the dwc:identificationReferences term to reflect the use of the term in the Humboldt Extension context. A new issue to propose that change has been created and should be considered part of the Humboldt Extension public review milestone.
