Additional controlled value terms for content description (CVTerms)

[baskaufs]

At the Image2 iDigBio workshop in June, it came up in discussion that there were two additional terms that probably should be included in the controlled vocabulary that is part of the proposal at #246, which is ready for public comment. Bar codes are typically found on all kinds of specimen images and envelopes are often included on herbarium specimens that have undergone dissection prior to mounting. If there is support for adding these terms during the public comment period, they probably should be included in the initial vocabulary, as they seem to be obvious omissions.

Proposed term metadata:

Label: Bar Code
Definition: a visual pattern that provides machine-readable metadata about a resource
Examples: QR code, linear bar codes
Controlled string: barCode

Label: Envelope
Definition: a small packet attached to specimen mounting material used to contain parts of the specimen that might otherwise be lost.
Controlled string: envelope

I think barcode is more commonly written as one word.

The term envelope does not fit the provided definition. The definition describes a fragment packet. We use other packets (or envelopes) for storing bryophyte and fungi specimens.
