Taxon:
class_uri: schema:Taxon
description: >-
A biological taxon (species, genus, family, order, etc.) that can be
associated with heritage objects in natural history collections.
**USE CASES**:
1. **Specimen Classification**: Link BiologicalObject to its taxonomic identification
2. **Collection Scope**: Define taxa covered by a natural history collection
3. **Research Context**: Document species studied in research archives
**DARWIN CORE ALIGNMENT**:
Uses Darwin Core terms for taxonomic data:
- dwc:scientificName - Full scientific name
- dwc:taxonRank - Level in hierarchy (species, genus, etc.)
- dwc:kingdom, dwc:phylum, dwc:class, dwc:order, dwc:family, dwc:genus
**EXTERNAL IDENTIFIERS**:
Link to authoritative taxonomic databases:
- GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility)
- NCBI Taxonomy
- Wikidata (Q-numbers for taxa)
- BOLD (Barcode of Life)
