materialSampleID

• Submitter: TDWG MaterialSample Task Group
• Efficacy Justification (why is this change necessary?): The current definition includes information that belongs in usage comments or examples and also relies upon an action (sampling) which the Task Group feels is unnecessary. We wanted to provide a simple definition that could be used by many disciplines.
• Demand Justification (if the change is semantic in nature, name at least two organizations that independently need this term):
• Stability Justification (what concerns are there that this might affect existing implementations?):
• Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?: Yes

Current Term definition: https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/#dwc_MaterialSample

Proposed attributes of the new term version (Please put actual changes to be implemented in bold and strikethrough):

• Term name (in lowerCamelCase for properties, UpperCamelCase for classes): materialSampleID
• Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): MaterialSample
• Definition of the term (normative): An identifier for the MaterialSample (as opposed to a particular digital record of the material sample). In the absence of a persistent global unique identifier, construct one from a combination of identifiers in the record that will most closely make the materialSampleID globally unique. An identifier for a particular instance of dwc:MaterialSample.
• Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): Recommended best practice is to use a persistent, globally unique identifier.Values of dwc:materialSampleID are intended to uniquely and persistently identify a particular material sample (instance of dwc:MaterialSample) within some context. Examples of context include a particular sample collection, an organization, or the worldwide scale. Recommended best practice is to use a persistent, globally unique identifier. The identifier is bound to a physical object (the material sample) as opposed to a particular digital record (representations) of that physical object.
• Examples (not normative): 06809dc5-f143-459a-be1a-6f03e63fc083 06809dc5-f143-459a-be1a-6f03e63fc083, doi - https://www.doi.org/, ark - https://arks.org/
• Refines (identifier of the broader term this term refines; normative):
• Replaces (identifier of the existing term that would be deprecated and replaced by this term; normative):
• ABCD 2.06 (XPATH of the equivalent term in ABCD or EFG; not normative): not in ABCD
