---++ TDWG's standards
|
|
|
|
The most widely deployed formats for biodiversity occurrence data are [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/darwincore/][Darwin Core]] ([[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/DarwinCore/WebHome][wiki]]) and [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/abcd/][ABCD]] ([[http://wiki.tdwg.org/ABCD][wiki]]). New deployments of these and other XML based formats should use the [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/tapir/][TAPIR]] exchange protocol.
|
|
|
|
The TDWG community's priority is the deployment of Life Science Identifiers (LSID), the preferred [[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/GUID/WebHome][Globally Unique Identifier]] technology and transitioning to RDF encoded metadata as defined by a set of simple [[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/LsidVocs][vocabularies]]. All new projects should address the need for tagging their data with LSIDs and consider the use or development of appropriate vocabularies.
|
|
|
|
TDWG's activities within the biodiversity informatics domain can be found in the [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/][Activities]] section of this website.

|
| *Type of Data* | *TDWG Group* | *Recommendations* |
|
|
| All Data | [[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/GUID/WebHome][GUID]] |All biodiversity data published should be identified using Globally Unique Identifiers - preferably LSIDs. Data should therefore have a metadata representation based on RDF that uses the [[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/LsidVocs][LSID Vocabularies]]. |
|
|
|Occurrence Data including natural history collections | [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/osr/][Observation and Specimen Records]] | For deployment today use Darwin Core for basic biodiversity data or ABCD for more complex data. Consider RDF versions of Darwin Core in the [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/osr/][LSID Vocabularies]].|
|
|
|Taxonomic and Nomenclatural Data| | ||
|
|
|Descriptive Data| [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/sdd/][Biological Descriptions]] | If SDD is too complex engage with the group to develop an RDF compatible 'Lite' version|

The TDWG community is currently rolling out Life Science Identifiers (LSID) as the preferred [[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/GUID/WebHome][Globally Unique Identifier]] technology and moving towards the use of RDF encoded metadata as defined by a set of simple [[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/LsidVocs][vocabularies]]. All new projects should address the need for tagging their data with GUIDs and consider the use of appropriate vocabularies.

| *Kind of Data* | *TDWG Group* | *Current Recommendation* |
|
|
| All Data | [[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/GUID/WebHome][GUID]] |All data published from now on should be identified using Globally Unique Identifiers - preferably LSID. It should therefore have a metadata representation based on RDF that makes use of the [[http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/LsidVocs][LSID Vocabularies]]. |
|
|
|Occurrence Data including natural history collections | [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/osr/][Observation and Specimen Records]] | For deployment today use Darwin Core or ABCD if these include a GUID. Consider RDF versions of Darwin Core in the [[http://www.tdwg.org/activities/osr/][LSID Vocabularies]].|
