Hi Peter,
yes, this is kind of a bug. We have not yet upgraded our occurrence store to the latest Darwin Core terms.
Thats why a simple term coming as just “organismID” instead of a full URI gets assigned the unknown.org namespace. 
http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/1078327928/verbatim

We have an open issue here: http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-2598


Looking at the actual archive that we indexed I can see the older term individualID is being used, not organismID:
    <field index="15" term="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/individualID"/>

Thats strange, as we should have understodd that perfectly fine and it is not found in the verbatim anywhere.
Looks like we need to do some digging.

Hi,

I just noticed in the response of the occurrence search API, that the key for "organismID" is "http://unknown.org/organismID". It is the only key that is returned as a URI. What is the reasoning behind this (datasetID, gbifID, etc. are all normal)? Is this a bug?

"dynamicProperties": "{\"device_info_serial\":858}",
"georeferenceProtocol": "doi:10.1080/13658810412331280211",
"http://unknown.org/organismID": "L907004",
"georeferenceVerificationStatus": "unverified",
"samplingEffort": "{\"secondsSinceLastOccurrence\":1806}",
