    description: "Event representing the taxonomic or specimen identification.\n\n\
      **DEFINITION**:\nIdentificationEvent models when and by whom a biological specimen,\n\
      object, or artifact was identified or classified.\n\n**ONTOLOGY ALIGNMENT**:\n\
      - **Primary** (`class_uri`): `hc:IdentificationEvent` - Heritage Custodian class\n\
      - **Close**: `dwc:Identification` - Darwin Core identification\n- **Close**:\
      \ `prov:Activity` - PROV-O activity\n\n**USAGE**:\nReplaces simple `date_identified`\
      \ dates with structured event data:\n- When the identification was made (temporal_extent)\n\
      - Who made the identification (identified_by)\n- Methodology used\n- Confidence\
      \ level\n- References consulted\n\n**Example**:\n```yaml\nidentified_through:\n\
      \  temporal_extent:\n    begin_of_the_begin: \"2023-05-15\"\n  identified_by:\n\
      \    - agent_name: \"Dr. Jane Smith\"\n      agent_role: \"taxonomist\"\n  identification_method:\
