The ComponentDataset may have a free text attribute defining its name Could be treated as an attribute of ComponentDataSet Workshop 1 Uses the same structure as other contact elements (e.g. owner & supplier) therefore could be generalised via use of a Type Attribute(depositor, other bot. garden source, Originating Institution) CC. The orignator of the ComponentDataSet includes Elements for descriptive text, Organisation or individual name, address, URL and contact name Workshop 1 Uses the same structure as other contact elements (e.g. originator & supplier) therefore could be generalised via use of a Type Attribute Individual or organisation with 'ownership' of a dataset Workshop 1 Element referring to the Intellectual Property Rights apertaining to a dataset or unit data Workshop 1 Workshop 1 Workshop 1 Date this dataset was extracted from a parent database or databases Workshop 1 Version control data for identifying source and version of a database Workshop 1 Element linking information to a Unit (e.g. biological record, specimen, subspecimen etc.) There may be many UnitDatasets within a ComponentDataSet. UnitDatasets may be related in a parent child fashion e.g. for derived units Units may have many identification and verification events attached to them the range of possible measurement attributes for a unit is vast and therefore a generalised measurement element is introduced. Measurable variables could be controlled by a look-up list.
