Notes	If any single bdq:sourceAuthority such as GBIF is used, a valid and complete dwc:scientificNameID based on an alternative source authority is unlikely to provide a valid match. A text or number string as a namespace indicator without a URI will be ambiguous. As an example, GBIF's backbone taxonomy dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.15468/39omei. When referencing a GBIF taxon by GBIF's identifier for that taxon, use the the pseudo-namespace "gbif:" and the form "gbif:{integer}" as the value for dwc:scientificNameID. Note that GBIF currently uses "TaxonID" for this entity. The terms NID, NSS, and URN are all Uniform Resource Identifiers - see the Wikipedia (2024) reference.
