| term label | Verbatim Target Scope |
| Definition | The verbatim original description of the dwc:Event scope. |
| Comments | Recommended best practice is first to populate explicit scope terms to the fullest extent possible (e.g. eco:targetTaxonomicScope). It is not recommended to use this term in assessing absence or completeness. |
| Examples | ‘small mammals’; ‘freshwater macroinvertebrates’; ‘dead animals’ |
| References | |
| Discussion summary | This term should be used as a last resort and in no way should replace the other scope trms. This term will allow to capture targets that are not included in the more explicits target scopes (e.g. targetTaxonomicScope) at least until new target scopes are proposed, and give more flexibility in the scope reporting, that is why we propose to include it as a verbatim term. |
