I saw in #285

References: GBIF (2021). Darwin Core Nomenclatural Type Status Vocabulary http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/type_status

so should this also be in the References? https://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/sex.xml

[chicoreus]

Noting that the current GBIF sex vocabulary is animal centric.

[ArthurChapman]

Thanks @ymgan Reference added

[ArthurChapman]

Changed to Immature/Incomplete pending new Vocabulary being developed by GBIF - see comment at #284 (comment).

[ManonGros]

Just as a side note because it may be helpful for testing things, GBIF has an API for accessing vocabularies. See: https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/v1/vocabulary
When the sex vocabulary is finalised, it will be accessible programmatically via the API.

[chicoreus]

@ManonGros That's very helpful.

[ymgan]

Similar to what @Tasilee mentioned in #277, #276, seems like GBIF API for Sex vocab is live
https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/Sex/concepts

[Tasilee]

Thanks @ymgan - I have edited the Source Authority accordingly. Ditto #284. Does this imply this test could be CORE or more likely Supplementary?

[ArthurChapman]

Changed to CORE following updating of GBIF Vocabulary, making a vocabulary available. This was the only reason it was made Immature/Incomplete earlier.

[ArthurChapman]

Note changed as no longer applicable now it is CORE.

[Tasilee]

Changed Source Authority from

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "Darwin Core sex" {[https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/#dwc_sex]} {dwc:sex vocabulary API [https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/Sex/concepts]}

to

bdq:sourceAuthority default = "GBIF Sex Vocabulary" [https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/Sex]} {"dwc:sex vocabulary API" [https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/Sex/concepts]}
