• Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?: This is a dwciri: term.

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

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): latestGeochronologicalEra
• Term label (English, not normative): Latest Geochronological Era
• • Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): dwciri
• Definition of the term (normative): Use to link a dwc:GeologicalContext instance to chronostratigraphic time periods at the lowest possible level in a standardized hierarchy. Use this property to point to the latest possible geological time period from which the cataloged itemdwc:MaterialEntity was collected.
• Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): Recommended best practice is to use an IRI from a controlled vocabulary. A "convenience property" that replaces Darwin Core literal-value terms related to geological context. See Section 2.7.6 of the Darwin Core RDF Guide for details.
• Examples (not normative):
• Refines (identifier of the broader term this term refines; normative): None
• Replaces (identifier of the existing term that would be deprecated and replaced by this term; normative): None
• ABCD 2.06 (XPATH of the equivalent term in ABCD or EFG; not normative): not in ABCD
