Parent topic: SddContents
A coded description requires three essential items: the names of the taxa being described, the terminology (characters and states) used to describe the taxa, and the coded descriptions themselves
An SDD instance document for coded summary data has the basic structure shown in Example 4.4.1.
|
Optional elements allow the taxa to be arranged into a hierarchy, and the recording of media files (images etc) for taxa or characters.
