New Term - materialEntityProvenance

[weevil-see]

New term dwc:materialEntityProvenance

• Submitter: Jakob Jilg
• Efficacy Justification (why is this term necessary?): There is an interest in the provenance of natural history collection objects. The information is important to find specimen which where mentioned in literature (including, of course, type specimen). Because of this, some museums (Naturmuseum Senckenberg (SMF); Senckenberg Naturhistorische Sammlungen Dresden) used to add labels like "collection John Smith" beneath the specimen when they incorporated a private collection into their main collection. There could be other use cases, e.g. collections from colonial context.
  The former "owner" of a specimen does not necessarily fit into dwc:identifiedBy or dwc:recordedBy. Especially in historical collection, the "owner" of the material may be the only person who is known, as neither the collector nor the identifier are named on a label. I am not sure how to implement the term so that it can capture person names, person unique identifiers, as well as insititution names and identifiers. Also, there might be more than one previous owner (I've seen a label "coll. Gabriel in coll. Bosch). I guess they would have to be concatenated with pipe symbols.
  Potentially, there could be other solutions, like an extension, but I like if the information can be captured in Simple Darwin Core.
• Demand Justification (name at least two organizations that independently need this term): I'm just a student trying to digitize label information :)
• Stability Justification (what concerns are there that this might affect existing implementations?):
• Implications for dwciri: namespace (does this change affect a dwciri term version)?:

Proposed attributes of the new term:

• Term name (in lowerCamelCase for properties, UpperCamelCase for classes): materialEntityProvenance
• Term label (English, not normative): Previously part of collection
• Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): Material Entity
• Definition of the term (normative): A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups, or organizations who had ownership of the dwc:MaterialEntity before it got into ownership of the entity described by dwc:collectionCode, dwc:collectionID, dwc:institutionCode, dwc:institutionID and dwc:ownerInstitutionCode
• Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): Recommended best practice is to separate the values in a list with space vertical bar space ( | ).
• Examples (not normative): coll. Gabriel | coll. Bosch
• Refines (identifier of the broader term this term refines; normative):
• Replaces (identifier of the existing term that would be deprecated and replaced by this term; normative):
• ABCD 2.06 (XPATH of the equivalent term in ABCD or EFG; not normative):
