Request clarification in documentation regarding how terms apply to individual resources vs. collections

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. Provide an ac Term Name or Label. This applies to all terms which might 
reasonably be applied to both multimedia resources and multimedia collections 
but which don't specify how they apply to each, e.g. xmp:CreateDate

2. Describe the defect or lack of clarity you find in the term. 

'AC is defined as "a set of vocabularies designed to represent metadata for 
biodiversity multimedia resources and collections". While many terms have some 
guidance on how the term applies (or not) to a "multimedia resource" vs. 
"multimedia collections", not all terms display that guidance (e.g., 
xmp:CreateDate). I imagine that the larger a collection becomes, the harder it 
is to have a single value for most of the terms (e.g., dcterms:rights, 
ac:captureDevice, ac:providerID). Would it be possible for each term to display 
information on its applicability to "multimedia resource" vs. "multimedia 
collections", e.g. when to use repeatability of terms for describing 
collections?'  Quote from email from Andréa Matsunaga <ammatsun@acis.ufl.edu>

Ouch. This is a good idea but a big task. I suggest instead getting a TDWG task 
group together to make a Best Practices for Describing Collections with Audubon 
Core.  I think it probably needs some of the expertise of those who worked on 
NCD.

I am closing this as WontFix. Others can reopen it if they disagree.

At least as guidance, we could cite the Key to Nature document, which documents 
the best practices. See
