We have based degreeOfEstablishment/invasionStage on Blackburn et al 2011, which does not have a term for extinct and I don't think it should. We have placed the term extinct under occurrenceStatus as a subcategory of absent.
Currently, the term extinct is being used in the description extension in the Manual under the invasionStage as one element that links to the taxon. This is problematic because this one entry can cover two entries in the distribution extenstion one for the period that the taxon was present and one when it was absent (extinct).
