Description
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:
- LifeStage: https://registry.gbif.org/vocabulary/LifeStage/concept/Unknown
- EstablishmentMeans, alternative for
uncertain
: https://registry.gbif.org/vocabulary/EstablishmentMeans/concept/Uncertain - Sex as defined by Movebank: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000023/
Would it therefor be possible to either:
- Add
unknown
as the recommended term (cf. LifeStage), withundetermined
as alternative - Or add
unknown
as alternative label forundetermined
