Types that may be used for different domains (descriptions, taxonomy, specimen collections, etc.):
Many of the types or elements within the types are resulting from attempts to standardize usage between ABCD and SDD and many originate from Gregor Hagedorn's work on the UBIF schema.
However, note that this is work in progress, so there may be considerable differences between types with the same names in UBIF/SDD and ABCD.
