A term to qualify the identification of the unit when doubts have arisen as to its identity (e.g. "cf." or "aff."). If it applies to an atomised name, the attribute insertionpoint defines the name element in front of which the qualifier should be inserted (1 = before entire name, 2= before first epithet, 3 = before second epithet.)

IF the culture collection community needs to move rapidly (e.g. due to project pressures), they can add these elements to the  current version as an extension schema under a structure that follows SDD's CustomExtensions element (CustomExtensions-CustomExtension-Any ##other). In future modular versions of ABCD, such a structure should exist in the root of every object/schema.</xs:documentation>

The extension is temporary and serves only to accommodate urgent inter-version additions to the unit-object schema [in future to the the various schemas/objects used in ABCD]. For example, if a specific community (e.g. culture collections) discover that there are elements missing in the current version of ABCD (as they did for 1.2), they communicate that to the group responsible for schema development, where it will be discussed if these elements are already accommodated in the schema, if not, if they can and should be generalized and where they should end up in the schema. IF the culture collection community needs to move rapidly (e.g. due to project pressures), they can add these elements to the  current version as an extension schema under a structure that follows SDD's CustomExtensions element (CustomExtensions-CustomExtension-Any ##other). In future modular versions of ABCD, such a structure should exist in the root of every object/schema.
