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.

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].
