If publications refer to the URI of a term, the definition found must be stable and be true to the definition intended by the author.</p> <p>That said, definitions of terms can only be broadened or made more explicit, if the original sense of the definition remains valid. The discussion leading to a refinement of a term should consider this. If a definition changes substantially, it should receive an own URI and replace any redundant or deprecated terms. The deprecated terms will remain available at the same URI.</p> <p>At some point, a new major version of the Traitdata Standard may be issued, providing new versioned URIs for all terms of the standard that have been altered since the previous major version.</p> </section> <section id="suggested-citation" class="level2"> <h2>Suggested Citation</h2> <p>To refer to <strong>this version</strong> of the ETS please cite:</p> <blockquote> <p>Schneider et al.
