This term is relevant only if a target taxonomic scope is declared. Taxonomic scope is based on the combination of eco:targetTaxonomicScope and eco:excludedTaxonomicScope. Examination of the taxonomic scope is needed in order to identify the non-target taxa. It should be possible to confirm the expectations by investigating a dwc:Occurrences in this dwc:Event and in its child dwc:Events (if available) or by exploring eco:nonTargetTaxa for this dwc:Event (if populated). The value of this term should be 'true' if dwc:Occurrences of taxa outside the taxonomic scope as defined at the time of a dwc:Event are reported, otherwise the value of this term should be 'false'. |

Comments | This term is meant to inform a user of the data whether there were non-target taxa that were detected, but left unreported. This term is only relevant if a dwc:Event used restricted search or open search methods and if a target taxonomic scope is declared. Taxonomic scope is based on the combination of eco:targetTaxonomicScope and eco:excludedTaxonomicScope. Within dwc:Events that used either a restricted search or an open search method and declared a taxonomic scope, if all dwc:Organisms that are not included within the target taxonomic scope and that were detected during a dwc:Event were reported, the value of this term should be 'true', otherwise the value of this term should be ‘false'. |

Comments | This term is meant to alert users to the presence of non-target organisms (in some disciplines called “bycatch”) reported in this dwc:Event. This term is relevant only if a target organismal scope is declared. Organismal scope is based on the combination of all of the following terms: eco:targetLifeStageScope, eco:excludedLifeStageScope, eco:targetDegreeOfEstablishmentScope, eco:excludedDegreeOfEstablishmentScope, eco:targetGrowthFormScope, and eco:excludedGrowthFormScope. Examination of the organismal scope is needed in order to identify the non-target dwc:Organisms. It should be possible to confirm the expectations by investigating a dwc:Occurrences in this dwc:Event and in its child dwc:Events (if available). The value of this term should be 'true' if dwc:Occurrences of dwc:Organisms outside the organismal scope(s) as defined at the time of a dwc:Event are reported, otherwise the value of this term should be 'false'. |

Description | A chimeric sequence, or chimera for short, is a sequence comprised of two or more phylogenetically distinct parent sequences. Chimeras are usually PCR artifacts thought to occur when a prematurely terminated amplicon reanneals to a foreign DNA strand and is copied to completion in the following PCR cycles. The point at which the chimeric sequence changes from one parent to the next is called the breakpoint or conversion point. |

Medium Quality Draft:Many fragments with little to no review of assembly other than reporting of standard assembly statistics. Low Quality Draft:Many fragments with little to no review of assembly other than reporting of standard assembly statistics. Assembly statistics include, but are not limited to total assembly size, number of contigs, contig N50/L50, and maximum contig length. For MIUVIG; Finished: Single, validated, contiguous sequence per replicon without gaps or ambiguities, with extensive manual review and editing to annotate putative gene functions and transcriptional units. High-quality draft genome: One or multiple fragments, totaling ≥ 90% of the expected genome or replicon sequence or predicted complete.

Description | A term to describe the content of the image by a value from a controlled vocabulary. |
Comments | Controlled vocabulary of subjects to support broad classification of media items. Terms from various controlled vocabularies may be used. AC-recommended vocabularies are preferred and MAY be unqualified literals (not a full URI). For terms from other vocabularies either a precise URI SHOULD be used, or, as long as all unqualified terms in all vocabularies are unique, metadata SHOULD provide the source vocabularies using the Subject Category Vocabulary term. The value SHOULD be a string, whose text can also be in the form of a URL. These guidelines on value format are less restrictive than is specified by the IPTC guidelines. |

Namespace | dwcdp |
Table: | MaterialAssertion |
IRI | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/measurementUnit |
Description | Units associated with the value in assertionValueNumeric. |
Comments | Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Ontology of Units of Measure http://www.wurvoc.org/vocabularies/om-1.8/ of SI units, derived units, or other non-SI units accepted for use within the SI. For units that are composed of multiple parts, use the patterns as given in "A Primer for Communicating Mathematics via Plain Text" (https://cse.sc.edu/~fenner/latex-ASCII.pdf) by Stephen Fenner (e.g., `g/cm^3` for grams per cubic centimeter). For other units, provide the value as a recognizable standard (e.g., '%') or written out in full and in the plural (e.g., `individuals`). It is fine to provide non-SI units in the original language of the dataset. |

IRI | http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/measurementUnit |
Description | Units associated with the value in assertionValueNumeric. |
Comments | Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Ontology of Units of Measure http://www.wurvoc.org/vocabularies/om-1.8/ of SI units, derived units, or other non-SI units accepted for use within the SI. For units that are composed of multiple parts, use the patterns as given in "A Primer for Communicating Mathematics via Plain Text" (https://cse.sc.edu/~fenner/latex-ASCII.pdf) by Stephen Fenner (e.g., `g/cm^3` for grams per cubic centimeter). For other units, provide the value as a recognizable standard (e.g., '%') or written out in full and in the plural (e.g., `individuals`). It is fine to provide non-SI units in the original language of the dataset. |

Description | Units associated with the value in assertionValueNumeric. |
Comments | Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Ontology of Units of Measure http://www.wurvoc.org/vocabularies/om-1.8/ of SI units, derived units, or other non-SI units accepted for use within the SI. For units that are composed of multiple parts, use the patterns as given in "A Primer for Communicating Mathematics via Plain Text" (https://cse.sc.edu/~fenner/latex-ASCII.pdf) by Stephen Fenner (e.g., `g/cm^3` for grams per cubic centimeter). For other units, provide the value as a recognizable standard (e.g., '%') or written out in full and in the plural (e.g., `individuals`). It is fine to provide non-SI units in the original language of the dataset. |
