Description: The occurrenceDetails field somehow got `http://unknown.org/` prepended to the beginning of the field name, e.g http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/1088909149/
This is obviously nonsense]]>

This is because "occurrenceDetails" is not covered in our enumeration (it was an old dwc term the TermFactory should know about though).
When an unqualified, unknown term is encountered by the factory it assigns it the unknown.org namespace. The namespace is silly, but we should move it to some well known non-namespace (maybe gbif.org/unknown) so it does not conflict with others.

Comment: This is also happening with Audubon Core, e.g. http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/814093223/verbatim looks a mess. Is there a mechanism to register this namespace with GBIF so that the row headings for multimedia don't get the "unknown.org prefix?

The latest dwc-api release contains all those namespaces:
https://github.com/gbif/dwc-api/tree/master/src/main/java/org/gbif/dwc/terms
https://github.com/gbif/dwc-api
The problem with our occurrences is that we are using a pretty old version of that library which even predates last years darwin core changes, see POR-2598
Another problem with that Audobon Core record could be that the terms were published without any namespace - at least it appears like this on first glance.
Still the latest TermFactory should be able to understand most if not all of them - if we would use the latest dwc-api

The raw fragment http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/814093223/fragment includes the URL http://rs.tdwg.org/ac/terms/Multimedia so I'm assuming that http://rs.tdwg.org/ac/terms/ is the namespace for Audubon Core (see also http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/Audubon_Core_Term_List#ac:Multimedia )
The day well all forget about custom vocabularies and use http://schema.org will be a happy day ;)
