description: This ontology and the related TaxonConcept data set mints identifiers
  that are tied to a specific species concept which can have several names and classifications.,
  Version 0.976 This is an ontology for dealing with data related to species including
  observations, specimens, images etc. Traditionally species have been identified
  by the combination of a genus and specific epithet, for example Puma concolor. However
  these names change frequently as new information moves a given species into a different
  genus etc. Most of the time the species concept itself is unchanged. This leads
  a lot of confusion and difficulty connecting data relating to a given species concept
  together. This ontology and the related TaxonConcept data set avoids this by minting
  identifiers that are tied to a specific species concept which can have several names
  and classifications. The RDF descriptions of each species concept provides some
  guide as to what is the best species concept for a given specimen or observation,
  and links together data sets containing additional information about that concept.
  Since some of these related data sets entail specific names or classifications they
  are loosely linked using skos:closeMatch etc. Depending on your particular needs,
  you might want to merge these in your own knowledge base as sameAs or simply merge
  those properties that you think are appropriate.
