# taxonRank

The taxonomic rank of this taxon given preferably as a URI from a controlled vocabulary – typically the ranks from TDWG TaxonRank ontology or equivalent Wikidata URIs.

## Expected Types

| Type | Description |
|------|-------------|
| [PropertyValue](https://schema.org.ai/PropertyValue) | A property-value pair, e.g. representing a feature of a product or place. Use the 'name' property for the name of the property. If there is an additional human-readable version of the value, put that into the 'description' property. Always use specific schema.org properties when a) they exist and b) you can populate them. Using PropertyValue as a substitute will typically not trigger the same effect as using the original, specific property. |
| [Text](https://schema.org.ai/Text) | Data type: Text. |
