                 <h2>Introduction</h2>
                 <p>This document and the policies contained herein are modeled on the <em>Dublin Core Metadata Initiative Namespace Policy</em> [<a href="http://dublincore.org/documents/2007/07/02/dcmi-namespace/">DCMINAMESPACEPOLICY</a>]. All terms in the Darwin Core must be identified with a unique Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). For convenience, the term URIs are grouped into collections known as <em>Darwin Core namespaces</em>. This document describes the policies associated with Darwin Core namespaces and how term URIs are allocated by the <em>Darwin Core Task Group</em> [<a href="http://www.tdwg.org/activities/darwincore/">DWC-TASK</a>].</p>

                 <h2>Introduction</h2>
                 <p>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 [<a href="./rdf/dwctermshistory.rdf">RDF-NORMATIVE</a>] 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 <em>Simple Darwin Core</em> [<a href="./terms/simple/index.htm">SIMPLEDWC</a>] 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".</p>

-                <p>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 <a href="references.html">References</a> section of this page.</p>

                 <h2>Motivation</h2>
                 <p>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.</p>
