SpecimenWrapper

Source: SpecimenWrapper.js:22

The SpecimenWrapper wraps specimen taxonomic units. These can be identified with a '@type' of SpecimenWrapper.TYPE_SPECIMEN (which is currently https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#occurrence).

TaxonomicUnitWrapper.TYPE_SPECIMEN: A specimen.
- Based on http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/Occurrence
- Should have a occurrenceID with the occurrence identifier.
- Should have a basisOfRecord to indicate what sort of occurrence this is.

Since TaxonNameWrapper follows the TDWG ontology, we'd love to do the same for SpecimenWrapper, but unfortunately the TaxonOccurrence ontology has been deprecated (see https://github.com/tdwg/ontology). Therefore, it instead improvises a representation based on dwc:Occurrence.

Constructor

new SpecimenWrapper(specimen): SpecimenWrapper

Construct a wrapper around a specimen.

Static Methods

`normalize(specimen)`

static

SpecimenWrapper.js:37

Normalize the specified specimen.

Parameters

specimen — A specimen to be normalized.

`fromOccurrenceID()`

static

SpecimenWrapper.js:58

Parse the provided occurrence ID. The two expected formats are:

'urn:catalog:[institutionCode]:[collectionCode]:[catalogNumber]' (in which case, we ignore the first two "components" here)
'[institutionCode]:[collectionCode]:[catalogNumber]'

Instance Fields

`catalogNumber`

SpecimenWrapper.js:119

Get the catalogNumber if present.

`institutionCode`

SpecimenWrapper.js:137

Get the institutionCode if present.

`collectionCode`

SpecimenWrapper.js:156

Get the collectionCode if present.

`occurrenceID`

SpecimenWrapper.js:178

Return the occurrence ID of this specimen, if we have one. Otherwise, we attempt to construct one in the form: "urn:catalog:" + institutionCode (if present) + ':' + collectionCode (if present) + ':' + catalogNumber (if present)
