Definition:
The vocabulary used for classification of the sample colour(s). Mandatory if Colour is included. Should contain at least one, and ideally all, of the following:

  1. The name of the standard vocabulary being used for Colour
  2. The URI of the standard vocabulary being used
  3. The URI of the exact term used in Colour
  4. The classification code (if one exists) of the exact term used in Colour
