From: Peter Desmet Disclaimer: Darwin Core might not actually rock your world Audience: This document is an introduction to the Darwin Core
- standard and is meant to provide the background, reasons, and basic
- information about sharing (either as a publisher or user of) biodiversity
- information. Further details on specific aspects of the standard and its use
- can be found in the pages shown in the Table of Contents in the upper left of
- every page or in the References section of this
- page. What is the Darwin Core? The Darwin Core is body of standards. It includes a glossary of terms (in
- other contexts these might be called properties, elements, fields, columns,
- attributes, or concepts) intended to facilitate the sharing of information
- about biological diversity by providing reference definitions, examples, and
- commentaries. The Darwin Core is primarily based on taxa, their occurrence in
- nature as documented by observations, specimens, samples, and related
- information. Included are documents describing how these terms are managed,
- how the set of terms can be extended for new purposes, and how the terms can
- be used. The normative document for the terms [RDF-NORMATIVE] is written in the Resource
- Description Framework (RDF) and is the definitive resource to understand the
- term definitions and their relationships to each other. The Simple Darwin
- Core [SIMPLEDWC] is a
- specification for one particular way to use the terms - to share data about
- taxa and their occurrences in a simply structured way - and is probably what
- is meant if someone suggests to "format your data according to the Darwin
- Core". Motivation: The Darwin Core standard was originally conceived to
- facilitate the discovery, retrieval, and integration of information about
- modern biological specimens, their spatiotemporal occurrence, and their
- supporting evidence housed in collections (physical or digital). The Darwin
- Core today is broader in scope and more versatile. It is meant to provide a
- stable standard reference for sharing information on biological diversity. As
- a glossary of terms, the Darwin Core is meant to provide stable semantic
- definitions with the goal of being maximally reusable in a variety of
- contexts. Rationale: The Darwin Core is based on the standards developed by
- the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative [DCMI] and can be viewed as an extension of the
- Dublin Core for biodiversity information. The purpose of these terms is to
- facilitate data sharing by providing a well-defined standard core vocabulary
- in a flexible framework to minimize the barriers to adoption and to maximize
- reusability. The terms described in this standard are a part of a larger set
- of vocabularies and technical specifications under development [TDWG-DEV] and maintained by
- Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) [TDWG-STANDARDS]. Guiding principles: Each term has a definition and commentaries
- that are meant to promote the consistent use of the terms across applications
- and disciplines. Evolving commentaries that discuss, refine, expand, or
- translate the definitions and examples are referred to through links in the
- Comments attribute of each term. This means of documentation allows
- the standard to adapt to new purposes without disrupting existing
- applications. There is meant to be a clear separation between the terms
- defined in this standard and the applications that make use of them. For
- example, though the data types and constraints are not provided in the term
- definitions, recommendations are made about how to restrict the values where
- appropriate. Content: The standard consists of a vocabulary of terms
- (properties, elements, fields, concepts) [TERMS], the policy governing the maintenance of these
- terms [NAMESPACEPOLICY], the
- decisions that resulted in changes to terms [DECISIONS], the complete history of
- terms including detailed attributes [HISTORY], a Generic Darwin Core XML
- schema [TERMSXMLSCHEMA] from which
- other schemas can be constructed, a Simple Darwin Core XML schema
- [SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA] as a complete
- schema ready for use, a schema to allow Darwin Core data transfer in text
- files [TEXTSCHEMA], and associated
- reference schemas for the construction of more structured content. These
- pages also describe mappings between the current standard and pre-standard
- historical versions [VERSIONS], including mappings
- [DWCTOABCD] to concepts in
- the Access to Biological Collections Data standard [ABCD]. Extension: Though the Darwin Core is insufficient for the needs of
- all biological disciplines, it can be adapted to serve new purposes. Darwin
- Core can be extended by adding new terms to share additional information. To
- do so you should be familiar with the recommendations and procedures defined
- in the Darwin Core Namespace Policy [NAMESPACEPOLICY]. Basically, before
- proposing a new term, consider the existing terms in this and other
- compatible standards to determine if the new concept can be accommodated by a
- simple revision of the description and comments for an existing term, without
- losing the existing meaning of that term. Participation: To receive notification of activity or participate
- in discussions about Darwin Core, join the tdwg-content mailing list
- [TDWG-CONTENT] and
- watch the Darwin Core Project [DWC-PROJECT]. For discussion or commentary
- on the definition of recommended terms, consult the link inside the
- Comment section in the listing for the term in the Quick Reference
- Guide [TERMS] or search for the relevant
- content in the auxiliaryDarwin Core Documentation [DWC-WIKI]. To make a formal request for a change to or addition of a term to the
- Darwin Core, read and follow the recommendations in the Darwin Core
- Namespace Policy [NAMESPACEPOLICY]. For those who wish to
- construct and submit as a standard any application profile, such as an XML
- schema, that extends the capabilities of the Darwin Core, adding new terms to
- the Darwin Core vocabulary that don't already exist in a compatible
- vocabulary will be a prerequisite. Consult the appropriate guideline, such as
- the XML Guide [XMLGUIDE],
- for information about the construction of a new application profile. The
- rules of submission of proposed standards can be found in the Biodiversity
- Information Standards (TDWG) process document [PROCESS]. Except where otherwise noted, content on this site is licensed under a
