This is the repository for the How did it die? Task Group.
How did it die? is a Task Group under the Observations and Specimen Records (OSR) Interest Group convened to propose the addition of terms, and associated controlled vocabularies, to Darwin Core to enable the interoperability of datasets that hold information on the vitality of the organism and any cause of death.
The day-to-day operations of the Task Group are documented in this repository and there are some quick links into the repository below.
