17.1 colourClassification¶
Obligation: Mandatory
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:
- The name of the standard vocabulary being used for Colour
- The URI of the standard vocabulary being used
- The URI of the exact term used in Colour
- The classification code (if one exists) of the exact term used in Colour
Note that a&b and c&d are normally pair values, so it is encouraged to include both where possible. For machine readability, and if you are using a FAIR vocabulary, it is recommended to include the URI values, with c, being optimal.
