An odd 'code list' on Rainbow #1
Description
Looking at revising ISO 19115-1:2014, I have listed the code lists & enumerations. Comparing my list (extracted from the document / UML) with the list at https://def.isotc211.org/#persistent-identifiers, I find an oddity:
Keyword Type Code - Bio | https://def.isotc211.org/19115/-1/2014/ExampleOfExtendedMatadata/code/KeywordTypeCode-Bio

Yes, that is a strange one. I inherited it in the old RDF files from Jean B.: https://github.com/ISO-TC211/GOM/blob/master/isotc211_GOM_harmonizedOntology/iso19115/-1/2018/ExampleOfExtendedMatadata.rdf
It's still stumbled into publication like a zombie at https://def.isotc211.org/common/KeywordTypeCode-Bio but if you don't think it's real, I can kill it.
I think it's just an example, as the file says, but I didn't want to look hard into content so I just auto-created it but more than happy to kill it!

I can confirm it doesn't exist in the published ISO 19115-1:2014 document nor in the published GML codelists.
I can imagine it existed in some draft of ISO 19115-1 as a potential example, but didn't make it to the published "Example of Extended Metadata" in D.4
ISO 19115-1:2014 Annex D is itself an oddity - labelled as a normative annex but consisting entirely of examples!
I'd also draw your attention to another oddity in the URL that I initially reported "Matadata" - there in the link you shared as inherited!
I would support quietly disposing of it.
