Dear John, the 2016 pathways standard seems to be same as the 2014 document I cited. So, I've added the 2016 document as an additional reference.
Also, someone else asked if I could summerise the TDWG responses to the Darwin Core changes and I've done this at https://github.com/qgroom/ias-dwc-proposal/wiki/A-summary-of-key-points-from...

Fyi, updated link on suggested controlled vocabulary
-----Original Message----- From: DFFU_IAS [mailto:dffu_ias-bounces@lists.gbif.org] On Behalf Of Quentin Groom Sent: 27 April 2016 02:47 PM To: Task Group on Data Fitness for Use in Research on Invasive Alien Species Subject: [DFFU_IAS] Proposing Changes to Darwin Core
Dear All, I thought I'd introduce you to an initiative I've started to make changes to the Darwin Core Standard. This seems to be relevant to the Task Group and something we could point to as a concrete outcome. For a long time I have been bothered by the definition and suggested vocabulary for the establishmentMeans field in Darwin Core ( http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/). It doesn't seem fit for purpose and conflates various concepts. For this reason I've drafted a proposal for the TDWG organisation to change Darwin Core. This involved adding a new term "origin"; changing the definition of occurenceStatus and changing the controlled vocabulary of establishmentMeans. You can read the proposal on GitHub (https://github.com/qgroom/DwC_Proposal.git), but I've also attached a version here. I really welcome your comments and I'd be happy if you want to co-propose it with me. Regards Quentin
