[iDigBioBot]

TestField	Value
GUID	42408a00-bf71-4892-a399-4325e2bc1fb8
Label	VALIDATION_BASISOFRECORD_STANDARD
Description	Does the value of dwc:basisOfRecord occur in the bdq:sourceAuthority?
TestType	Validation
Darwin Core Class	Record-level
Information Elements ActedUpon	dwc:basisOfRecord
Information Elements Consulted
Expected Response	EXTERNAL_PREREQUISITES_NOT_MET if the bdq:sourceAuthority is not available; INTERNAL_PREREQUISITES_NOT_MET if dwc:basisOfRecord is EMPTY; COMPLIANT if the value of dwc:basisOfRecord is valid using the bdq:sourceAuthority; otherwise NOT_COMPLIANT
Data Quality Dimension	Conformance
Term-Actions	BASISOFRECORD_STANDARD
Parameter(s)	dwc:basisOfRecord vocabulary
Source Authority	bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core basisOfRecord" {[https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord]}{dwc:basisOfRecord vocabulary [https://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/dwc/basis_of_record.xml]}
Specification Last Updated	2024-07-24
Examples	[dwc:basisOfRecord="Taxon": Response.status=RUN_HAS_RESULT, Response.result=COMPLIANT, Response.comment="dwc:basisOfRecord matches a standard label of one of the Darwin Core classes"]
	[dwc:basisOfRecord="Specimen": Response.status=RUN_HAS_RESULT, Response.result=NOT_COMPLIANT, Response.comment="dwc:basisOfRecord does not exactly match a standard label of one of the Darwin Core classes"]

Notes	The term dwc:basisOfRecord has the comment "Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the set of local names of the identifiers for classes in Darwin Core." The list of these values can be determined by searching https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/blob/master/vocabulary/term_versions.csv for rows with status="recommended" and rdf_type="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Class". For tests against a dwc:Occurrence record, the set of valid terms is more limited and embodied in the resource found at https://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/dwc/basis_of_record.xml. This test must return NOT_COMPLIANT if there is leading or trailing whitespace or there are leading or trailing non-printing characters.

I just detected that the Specifications for this test was lacking "Darwin Core Class | Record_level Terms" so I have just added it.

[chicoreus]

Added note to clarify the default source authority, since it isn't itself a list of vocaublary terms:

See the dwc:basisOfRecord comment "Recommended best practice is to use the standard label of one of the Darwin Core classes."

[Tasilee]

Added note "This test will fail if there are leading or trailing white space or non-printing characters."

Changed Source Authority from

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core Terms" [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord]

to

bdq:sourceAuthority default = {Darwin Core} {Basis of record [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord] }

and removed bdq:sourceAuthority from Parameters (I presume, as there is no alternative vocab)?

[Tasilee]

Amended Source Authority values to align with @chicoreus syntax

bdq:sourceAuthority default = {Darwin Core} {Basis of record [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord]}

to

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core dwc:basisOfRecord" {[https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord]}

[Tasilee]

Post Zoom 11/7/2023, I have aligned the Source Authority with the suggested syntax:

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core dwc:basisOfRecord" {[https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord]}

to

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core" {https://dwc.tdwg.org/} {dwc:basisOfRecord [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord]}

[Tasilee]

Due to recent discussions, changed Source Authority from

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core" {[https://dwc.tdwg.org/]} {dwc:basisOfRecord [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord]}

to

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core basisOfRecord" {[https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord]}{Basis of record vocabulary [https://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/dwc/basis_of_record.xml]}

Notes needed by @tucotuco

[Tasilee]

I missed the Parameter(s) (added) and the syntax on the vocabulary in Source Authority (done)

Splitting bdqffdq:Information Elements into "Information Elements ActedUpon" and "Information Elements Consulted".

Also changed "Field" to "TestField", "Output Type" to "TestType" and updated "Specification Last Updated"

[chicoreus]

Updated notes from "fail" to more specific "This test must return NOT_COMPLIANT if there is leading or trailing whitespace or there are leading or trailing non-printing characters. "

[chicoreus]

Updated notes to current Darwin Core guidance "Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the set of local names of the identifiers for classes in Darwin Core." as noted by @tucotuco in #63
