Notes	This bdq:Supplementary test is not regarded as CORE (cf. bdq:CORE) because of one or more of the reasons: not being widely applicable; not informative; not straightforward to implement or likely to return a high percentage of either bdq:COMPLIANT or bdq:NOT_COMPLIANT results (cf bdq:Response.result). A Supplementary test may be implemented as CORE when a suitable use case exists.

I am a little confused. Is this not covered by #88 ?
edit: nevermind, I just noticed that #88 check for any of the temporal fields.

[ArthurChapman]

No @ymgan #88 is a general "Time" test and asks if there is any Time information - it doesn't ask specifically if dwc:month is empty NOTEMPTY or not

[chicoreus]

@ymgan #88 is one of a set of three tests that check for any temporal, spatial #40, or scientific name #105 information present in a Darwin Core SingleRecord. Each of those checks the the full set of Darwin Core terms relevant to their scope (time/space/taxon) that we considered to fall within the scope of CORE to see if any information is present. Temporal information is something of a special case in Darwin Core as there are three separate ways of providing a date in structured form (not including verbatim), intended as an aid for mobilization of data from disparate date storage forms. Of these, we test for dwc:year not empty #49, as it is shared by more than one representation, and temporal resolution to a year, regardless of the presence of a value in dwc:eventDate indicates data of use for many of the research cases examined by TG3, thus as an exception to the general pattern we included this test. We consider dwc:eventDate to be the primary term for representation of temporal data, so #33 is the primary not empty test, and we leave out of core other possible not empty tests such as this one.
