Use unknown instead of undetermined for sex vocabulary #94

Description

@peterdesmet

https://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/sex.xml has the values:

male (alt: ♂)
female (alt: ♀)
hermaphrodite (alt: Zwitter)
undetermined (alt: unbestimmt)

I recognize that there is a semantic difference between undetermined and unknown, but the unknown is already used in other controlled vocabularies:

Would it therefor be possible to either:

  • Add unknown as the recommended term (cf. LifeStage), with undetermined as alternative
  • Or add unknown as alternative label for undetermined
