Llanvirn Series
Llanvirn Series is the third of five series in the British regional Ordovician stratigraphic scheme. It is preceded by the Arenig Series and succeeded by the Caradoc Series (Geologic Time Scale 2020, fig. 20.12).

Description
Description may include but is not limited to: an abstract, a table of contents, a graphical representation, or a free-text account of the resource.
Identifier
Recommended practice is to identify the resource by means of a string conforming to an identification system. Examples include International Standard Book Number (ISBN), Digital Object Identifier (DOI), and Uniform Resource Name (URN). Persistent identifiers should be provided as HTTP URIs.
Source
This property is intended to be used with non-literal values. The described resource may be derived from the related resource in whole or in part. Best practice is to identify the related resource by means of a URI or a string conforming to a formal identification system.
Status
Type
has broader
Relates a concept to a concept that is more general in meaning.
definition
A statement or formal explanation of the meaning of a concept.
is in scheme
Relates a resource (for example a concept) to a concept scheme in which it is included.
has narrower
Relates a concept to a concept that is more specific in meaning.
notation
A notation, also known as classification code, is a string of characters such as "T58.5" or "303.4833" used to uniquely identify a concept within the scope of a given concept scheme.
preferred label
The preferred lexical label for a resource, in a given language.
This vocabulary is a re-published and only marginally changed version of the Registry Ontology's (http://epimorphics.com/public/vocabulary/Registry.html) *Status* vocabulary (online in RDF: http://purl.org/linked-data/registry). The only real change to content has been the addition of the term `unstable`. This re-publication has been performed to allow the IRIs of each vocab term (skos:Concept) to resolve to both human-readable and machine-readable forms of content (HTML and RDF), using HTTP content negotiation. Note that just like the original form of this vocabulary, while it is a SKOS vocabulary implemented as a single skos:ConceptScheme, it is also an OWL Ontology and that each *Status* is both a skos:Concept and a reg:Status individual.

Ordovician Period
Ordovician Period is the second of the six periods of the Paleozoic Era. It is preceded by the Cambrian Period and succeeded by the Silurian Period (Geologic Time Scale 2020, figs. 2.1, 20.1; https://timescalefoundation.org/).
Abereiddian Stage
Abereiddian Stage is a stage in the British regional Ordovician stratigraphic scheme. It is the first of two stages of the Llanvirn Series. It is preceded by the Fennian Stage (Arenig Series) and succeeded by the Llandeilian Stage (Geologic Time Scale 2020, fig. 20.12).
Llandeilian Stage
Llandeilian Stage is a stage in the British regional Ordovician stratigraphic scheme. It is the second of two stages of the Llanvirn Series. It is preceded by the Abereiddian Stage and succeeded by the Aurelucian Stage (Caradoc Series) (Geologic Time Scale 2020, fig. 20.12).
Series
Series is the chronostratigraphical equivalent to Epoch.
Divisions of geological time from source table DIC_GEOCHRON. The BGS Geochronology Dataset is based on The Geologic Time Scale 2012 by F M Gradstein, J G Ogg, M Schmitz and G Ogg (2012), with additions. The result is a composite geological time scale that will be updated as improved timescales become available.
