## 6. How do I use Simple Darwin Core?
Darwin Core is simple in that data "complying with" Simple Darwin Core can be easily shared in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, text files and xml documents. Equivalent ways of sharing the same data are described in the sections [Simple Darwin Core as Text](#161-simple-darwin-core-as-text) and [Simple Darwin Core as XML](#162-simple-darwin-core-as-xml).

What you need to do as a contributor of data via Simple Darwin Core depends on the requirements of the ones who are going to consume those data. For example, if you have a collaborator who wants to share data via Simple Darwin Core, then it may be sufficient to create a spreadsheet that contains column headers matching as many of the Darwin Core term names as you are both interested in sharing - just to be sure you both understand the meaning of the fields you share, and therefore hopefully something about their content. You might create a table in a database using Simple Darwin Core as a model (if it met all of your needs), and then connect that database with services for sharing via the web. You might use that same database (or spreadsheet) to export a comma-separated value (CSV) file for upload into a hosted service that could serve the data on your behalf. Or you might use that same file to upload into a service that would allow you to add value (such as a georeference) or quality (with a data cleaning tool), or to see your data in the context of other shared data.
