<h1>Change policy</h1>
</div>
<h2>1. 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>2. Namespace URIs</h2>
<p>The Darwin Core namespace URI for the collection of all Darwin Core properties, classes, and encoding schemes is:</p>
<pre class="example">http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/</pre>
<p>The term identifier for the current (recommended) version of a term is a URI based on the namespace and the term name without version information. Some example Darwin Core term identifiers follow:</p>
<pre class="example">http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName</pre>
<p>is the Darwin Core term identifier for the <em>scientificName</em> property, while</p>
<pre class="example">http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/MachineObservation</pre>
<p>is the Darwin Core term identifier for the <em>MachineObservation</em> class.</p>
<p>All Darwin Core identifiers will dereference to a Darwin Core term
declaration for the identified term.</p>
<h2>3. Term change policy</h2>
<p>Changes to Darwin Core recommendations or term declarations will occur from time to time for a variety of reasons. Changes have varying implications for the decision making process and for versioning Darwin Core documents and term URIs. The types of changes and appropriate processes are identified and explained in the following sections.</p>
<p><strong>Reporting issues</strong>: In all cases the proposed change should be reported to the <em>Technical Architecture Group</em> [<a href="mailto:tdwg-tag@lists.tdwg.org">TDWG-TAG</a>] and the outcome of the proposal should be announced on the <em>Darwin Core mailing list</em> [<a href="http://lists.tdwg.org/mailman/listinfo/tdwg-content">TDWG-CONTENT</a>].</p>
<p><strong>Decisions</strong>: In cases where an Executive decision is required,the <em>Technical Architecture Group</em> will conduct a minimum 30-day public comment period on the <em>Darwin Core mailing list</em> [<a href="http://lists.tdwg.org/mailman/listinfo/tdwg-content">TDWG-CONTENT</a>], during which the proposal can be refined based on discussion in an effort to reach consensus (no dissenting opinion expressed publicly on the mailing list for 30 days from the most recent iteration). If a consensus is reached, the proposal will be presented by the <em>Technical Architecture Group</em> to the Executive Committee for a decision [<a href="terms/decisions.html">DECISIONS</a>] within 30 days.</p>
<p><strong>Versions</strong>: In cases where a decision requires a version change, the attributes <em>Status</em> (recommended, superseded, or deprecated), <em>Date Issued</em>, <em>Date Modified</em>, <em>Decision</em>, <em>Version</em>, <em>Replaces</em>, and <em>Is Replaced By</em> will be modified in the affected terms as appropriate.</p>
<h3>3.1 Minor editorial errata</h3>
<p>An error in spelling, punctuation, grammar, or other clerical mistake
discovered in a Darwin Core recommendation or term declaration may be
corrected without a public comment period or Executive Decision. Minor
editorial changes of this type do not require a version change for the
affected term and/or documents.</p>
<h3>3.2 Substantive editorial errata</h3>
<p>A substantive error is one that compromises the usefulness or accuracy of systems based on Darwin Core. Those that are unequivocal (for example, an incorrect URI or reference) may be treated as minor editorial errata (Section 3.1).</p>
<p>Otherwise, the <em>Technical Architecture Group</em> will conduct a public comment period and seek an Executive decision to find a solution that minimizes adverse effects on existing applications. Changes of this nature require a version change for the affected term and/or documents.</p>
<h3>3.3 Semantic changes to Darwin Core terms</h3>
<p>Darwin Core terms may be changed based on public demand and consensus. A request to the <em>Technical Architecture Group</em> for a term change should consist of proposed values for the complete list of attributes given in the term definitions section of the <em>Darwin Core Terms Complete History</em> [<a href="terms/history.html">HISTORY</a>] along with a statement of justification for the change.</p>
<p>Term changes that are likely to have substantial functional impact on human understanding or machine processing will posted for public commentary and an Executive decision. Changes of this nature require a version change for the affected term and/or documents.</p>
<h3>3.4 Addition of Darwin Core terms</h3>
<p>New terms may be added to the Darwin Core namespaces based on public demand and consensus. A request to the <em>Technical Architecture Group</em> [<a href="mailto:tdwg-tag@lists.tdwg.org">TDWG-TAG</a>] for a new term should consist of proposed values for the complete list of attributes given in the term definitions section of the <em>Darwin Core Terms Complete History</em> [<a href="terms/history.html">HISTORY</a>] along with a statement of justification for the new term, including an explanation of why no existing term will suffice.</p>
<p>New term proposals will be posted for public commentary and an Executive decision. Changes of this nature require a version change for the affected term and/or documents.</p>
<h2>4. Persistence policy</h2>
<p>TDWG recognizes that people and applications depend on the persistence of formal documents and machine processable schemas that have been made publicly available. In particular, the stability of Darwin Core term URIs and Darwin Core namespace URIs is critical to interoperability over time. Thus, the wide promulgation of this set of URIs dictates that they be maintained to support legacy applications that have adopted them.</p>

<h1>Darwin Core</h1>
<p>A standard for sharing biodiversity data</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="container">
<h2>1. 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="terms/dwc_normative.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="simple_dwc.html">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>
<h2>2. 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>
<h2>3. Rationale</h2>
<p>The Darwin Core is based on the standards developed by the <em>Dublin Core Metadata Initiative</em> [<a href="http://dublincore.org/">DCMI</a>] 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 [<a href="http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/">TDWG-DEV</a>] and maintained by <em>Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG)</em> [<a href="http://www.tdwg.org/standards/">TDWG-STANDARDS</a>].</p>
<h2>4. Guiding principles</h2>
<p>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 <em>Comments</em> 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.</p>
<h2>5. Content</h2>
<p>The standard consists of a vocabulary of terms (properties, elements, fields, concepts) [<a href="terms/index.html">TERMS</a>], the policy governing the maintenance of these terms [<a href="change_policy.html">NAMESPACEPOLICY</a>], the decisions that resulted in changes to terms [<a href="terms/decisions.html">DECISIONS</a>], the complete history of terms including detailed attributes [<a href="terms/history.html">HISTORY</a>], a <em>Generic Darwin Core XML schema</em> [<a href="guides/xml/tdwg_dwcterms.xsd">TERMSXMLSCHEMA</a>] from which other schemas can be constructed, a <em>Simple Darwin Core XML schema</em> [<a href="guides/xml/tdwg_dwc_simple.xsd">SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA</a>] as a complete schema ready for use, a schema to allow Darwin Core data transfer in text files [<a href="guides/text/tdwg_dwc_text.xsd">TEXTSCHEMA</a>], 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 <a href="terms/old_versions.html">[VERSIONS]</a>, including mappings <a href="terms/mapping_abcd.html">[DWCTOABCD]</a> to concepts in the <em>Access to Biological Collections Data</em> standard <a href="http://www.tdwg.org/schemas/abcd/2.06">[ABCD]</a>.</p>
<h2>6. Extension</h2>
<p>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 <em>Darwin Core Namespace Policy</em> [<a href="change_policy.html">NAMESPACEPOLICY</a>]. 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.</p>
<h2>7. Participation</h2>
<p>To receive notification of activity or participate in discussions about Darwin Core, join the <em>tdwg-content</em> mailing list [<a href="http://lists.tdwg.org/mailman/listinfo/tdwg-content">TDWG-CONTENT</a>] and watch the <em>Darwin Core Project</em> [<a href= "https://github.com/tdwg/dwc">DWC-PROJECT</a>]. For discussion or commentary on the definition of recommended terms, consult the link inside the <em>Comment</em> section in the listing for the term in the <em>Quick Reference Guide</em> [<a href="terms/index.html">TERMS</a>] or search for the relevant content in the auxiliary <em>Darwin Core Documentation</em> [<a href= "http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/Darwin_Core">DWC-WIKI</a>].</p>
<p>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 <em>Darwin Core Namespace Policy</em> [<a href="change_policy.html">NAMESPACEPOLICY</a>]. 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 <em>XML Guide</em> [<a href="terms/guides/xml">XMLGUIDE</a>], for information about the construction of a new application profile. The rules of submission of proposed standards can be found in the <em>Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG)</em> process document [<a href="http://www.tdwg.org/about-tdwg/process/">PROCESS</a>].</p>

<h2>1. Introduction</h2>
<p>From time to time changes are proposed to Darwin Core terms through the process described in the Term Change Policy section of the <em>Darwin Core Namespace Policy</em> [<a href= "../change_policy.html">NAMESPACEPOLICY</a>]. This document shows the outcome of decisions based on officially proposed changes.</p>

<h2>1. Introduction</h2>
<p>From time to time changes are proposed to Darwin Core terms through the process described in the Term Change Policy section of the <em>Darwin Core Namespace Policy</em> [<a href= "../change_policy.html">NAMESPACEPOLICY</a>]. This document shows the outcome of decisions based on officially proposed changes.</p>

<h2 id="abcd" class="anchor">ABCD Mappings</h2>
<p><strong>Audience</strong>: This document is targeted toward those who wish to understand how the Darwin Core terms are related to the structure of the Access to Biological Collections Data [<a href="http://www.tdwg.org/schemas/abcd/2.06">ABCD</a>] schema.</p>
<p>Before becoming a TDWG standard, the Darwin Core was instantiated and deployed in many different application profiles, all of them based on XML schema. In this document the openly developed and widely used versions of the Darwin Core ([<a href="http://digir.sourceforge.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/2003/1.0/darwin2.xsd">CLASSIC</a>], [<a href="http://digir.sourceforge.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/manis/1.21/darwin2.xsd">MANIS</a>], [<a href="http://iobis.org/obis/obis.xsd">OBIS</a>], [<a href="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/tdwg_dw_core.xsd">DRAFT14</a>], [<a href="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/tdwg_dw_curatorial.xsd">CURATORIAL</a>], [<a href="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/tdwg_dw_geospatial.xsd">GEOSPATIAL</a>]) are each compared (mapped conceptually) to the Access to Biological Collections Data [<a href="http://www.tdwg.org/schemas/abcd/2.06">ABCD</a>] schema. Each historical version is mapped in a separate table and can be referenced quickly from the index in Mappings section. Each element in each Darwin Core versions is mapped to the one or more xpath designations of the equivalent element(s) in the most current version of ABCD.</p>

<h2 id="dwc" class="anchor">Standard Darwin Core Mappings</h2>
<p><strong>Audience</strong>: This document is targeted toward those who wish to understand how the standard Darwin Core terms are related to previously used Darwin Core schemas.</p>
<p>Before becoming a TDWG standard, the Darwin Core was instantiated and deployed in many different application profiles, all of them based on XML schema. The openly developed and widely used versions of the Darwin Core ([<a href="http://digir.sourceforge.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/2003/1.0/darwin2.xsd">CLASSIC</a>], [<a href="http://digir.sourceforge.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/manis/1.21/darwin2.xsd">MANIS</a>], [<a href="http://iobis.org/obis/obis.xsd">OBIS</a>], [<a href="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/tdwg_dw_core.xsd">DRAFT14</a>], [<a href="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/tdwg_dw_curatorial.xsd">CURATORIAL</a>], [<a href="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/tdwg_dw_geospatial.xsd">GEOSPATIAL</a>]), [<a href="http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/DarwinCore/PaleontologyElement">PALEO</a>]) are each compared (mapped conceptually) to the current recommended Darwin Core terms [<a href="../../index.htm">TERMS</a>] in this document. Each historical version is mapped in a separate table and can be referenced quickly from the Mappings section below.</p>

## Darwin Core terms
These pages provide a list of all of the current terms of the Darwin core. The terms are organized by categories (nodes) in the index. The categories correspond to Darwin Core terms that are classes (terms that have other terms to describe them). The terms that describe a given class (the class properties) appear within the list inside the node for the Class. The links provided by term names open to pages with further discussions about those terms.
## Record level terms
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#dcindex>
### dcterms:language
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#language>
As of 2012-04-11, the Dublin Core metadata Initiative recommends the use of a controlled vocabulary such as RFC 4646. For Darwin Core, the latest RFC for ISO 639-1 is the recommended version (RFC 5646 as of 2012-04-11).
Further documentation on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) language codes can be found at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag>.
A list of language codes can be found at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes>.
### basisOfRecord
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#basisOfRecord>
The `basisOfRecord` is meant to express the category of the source of information in a record. It is more specific than the `dcterms:type` term, which expresses the Dublin Core resource type (`PhysicalObject`, `Event`, `StillImage`, `MovingImage`, `Sound`, etc.) of a record. The values listed here are string literal versions of the formal Darwin Core Type Vocabulary (<http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/type-vocabulary/index.htm>) that can be represented by URIs, which should be used when appropriate, such as in RDF. For example, use
```xml
<dwc:basisOfRecord rdf:resource="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/dwctype/PreservedSpecimen"/>
```
rather than
```xml
<dwc:basisOfRecord>PreservedSpecimen</dwc:basisOfRecord>
```
(where `xmlns:dwc="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/"`).
The recommended `basisOfRecord` controlled vocabulary includes:
Term | Definition
--- | ---
Occurrence | A resource describing an instance of the Occurrence class.
Event | A non-persistent, time-based occurrence. For Darwin Core, a resource describing an instance of the Event class.
Location | A resource describing an instance of the Location class.
Taxon | A resource describing an instance of the Taxon class.
PreservedSpecimen | A resource describing a preserved specimen.
FossilSpecimen | A resource describing a fossilized specimen.
LivingSpecimen | A resource describing a living specimen.
HumanObservation | A resource describing an observation made by one or more people.
MachineObservation | A resource describing an observation made by a machine.
MaterialSample | A resource describing a material sample.
NomenclaturalChecklist | A resource describing a nomenclatural checklist.
See also the [Type Vocabulary Terms](DwCTypeVocabulary) page for further discussion and elaborated definitions of the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary terms.
### dynamicProperties
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#dynamicProperties>
JSON is a natural fit for the structured content of the `dynamicProperties` field. Following is an example of how one might encode standard mammal measurements using JSON:
```json
{
"totalLengthInMM":"150",
"tailLengthInMM":"40",
"hindFootLengthInMM":"12",
"earLengthInMM":"5",
"weightInGrams":"120"
}
```
## Occurrence terms
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#Occurrence>
### occurrenceID
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#occurrenceID>
The `occurrenceID` is supposed to (globally and persistently) uniquely identify an object or act establishing an Occurrence, whether it is a specimen-based occurrence, a one-time observation of a species at a location, or one of many
occurrences of an individual who is being tracked, monitored, or
recaptured.
### catalogNumber
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#catalogNumber>
`catalogNumber` is an unfortunate name for this term because it suggests a
catalog, which suggests a specimen. The definition tries to ameliorate
the potential bias by saying that it is a number to identify an
occurrence record within a data set or collection. So, it could be a
specimen catalog number or it could be a unique identifier for a
record within an observation or animal movement data set.
### recordedBy
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#recordedBy>
For observations this is the equivalent of the observer or observers.
For specimens this is the equivalent of the name of a collector, or list of names of collectors. If there is more than one person (or any other collecting agent) associated with the specimen, the one whose recordNumber (see below) is recorded should appear first in the list. The names in the list should be separated by a character that unambiguously distinguishes them from each other, for example, a semi-colon `;`.
### recordNumber
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#recordNumber>
For specimens this is the equivalent of a collector's number - the identifier given by the collector to a specimen or sample in the field and which is likely to have been written in associated field notes. The same idea applies to original numbers applied to any observation or sample in the field, though the terminology in a given discipline might be distinct. The recordNumber isn't the same as the `catalogNumber`, which is usually only applied once the specimen gets accessioned into a collection.
### individualID
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#individualID>
`individualID` is meant for any records that need to identify
individuals for whom there may be more than one record. Banded birds,
marine mammal photos allowing individual identification, individual
trees resampled overtime, periodic biopsies on the same individuals,
etc. could all use this term to group the records corresponding to
individuals.
### sex
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#sex>
The recommended controlled vocabulary includes:
```
unknowable
undetermined
female
male
hermaphrodite
gynandromorph
```
### lifeStage
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#lifeStage>
The recommended controlled vocabulary includes:
```
zygote
embryo
larva
juvenile
adult
sporophyte
spore
gametophyte
gamete
pupa
```
### establishmentMeans
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#establishmentMeans>
The recommended controlled vocabulary includes:
```
native
introduced
naturalised
invasive
managed
uncertain
```
### occurrenceStatus
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#occurrenceStatus>
The recommended controlled vocabulary includes:
Value | Usage
--- | ---
present[^1] | There is at least one well documented record of the taxon's presence in the area.
absent[^1] | There is evidence to document the absence of a taxon in the area.
common | The taxon has been observed frequently in the area.
irregular | The presence of the taxon varies episodically in the area.
rare | The taxon has been observed infrequently in the area.
doubtful | The taxon is presumed present in the area, but there is doubt over the evidence, including taxonomic or geographic imprecision in the records.
[^1]: Use only `present` or `absent` as the possible values for `occurrenceStatus` of particular Events. It should be considered critical to include this term with the value `absent` for Occurrence records that document that a particular Taxon was not present during an event. Other values of the vocabulary are permissible for taxon distribution records.
### associatedSequences
A semicolon delimited list of sequence identifiers with an optional prefix to indicate their origin. If the prefix is omitted it should be a well known identifier format from one of the INSDC databases (International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration), see <http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/sub/acc_def-e.html>
Examples would be:
```
AB425960;AB425963;DQ286547
```
For other sequence identifiers a prefix indicating the source or a full URL is desirable. The individual INSDC sequence read archives should be prefixed with the following:
* SRA: NCBI Sequence Read Archive
* DRA: DDBJ Sequence Read Archive
* ERA: EMBL Sequence Read Archive
## MaterialSample terms
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#MaterialSample>
### materialSampleID
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#materialSampleID>
The `materialSampleID` is supposed to (globally) uniquely identify a material sample, not a particular digital artefact of a material sample.
## Event terms
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#Event>
### eventDate
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#eventDate>
The `eventDate` term can be used to capture specific dates at various levels of resolution as well as periods of time with distinct beginnings and endings. It is for this reason that the legacy beginning and ending dates were not retained from previous versions of Darwin Core. Note that eventDate cannot be used to capture information about events on geological time scales. To do so, use the terms in the [GeologicalContext](<https://code.google.com/p/darwincore/wiki/GeologicalContext) class.
Further explanation of the International Standards Organization standard ISO 8601 can be found at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601>, but here are some examples:
date | ISO 8601 date
--- | ---
year only | 2010
year and month | 2010-01
year, month, and day | 2010-01-17
year, month, day, and UTC time | 2010-01-17T09:26Z
year, month, day, and local time | 2010-01-17T09:33:59-0300
interval between years | 2009/2010
interval between months | 2009-02/2010-01
interval between months | 2009-02/10
interval between days | 2009-02-12/2009-10-08
interval between times on one day | 2010-01-17T12:26Z/12:52:17Z
interval between times on different days | 1963-03-08T14:07-0600/1971-08-03T06:00-0000
It is not possible to render a month without a year, or a day without a month and year, or other vague or partial dates and times such as `spring 2010`. Dates such as these should be captured in the `verbatimEventDate`.
### eventTime
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#eventTime>
Further explanation of the International Standards Organization standard ISO 8601 can be found at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601>.
### habitat
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#habitat>
The Environment Ontology (ENVO, <http://environmentontology.org/>) provides a granular way of referring to the environment in which an organism lives than is currently possible with the Darwin Core habitat term alone. In addition to `habitat` (<http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00002036>), ENVO provides three broad classifications for environment - biome, feature, and material. For example, in describing the environment inhabited by a particular individual bird, we would describe the material as `air` (<http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00002005>), the feature as `flood meadow` (<http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00000154>), and the biome as `flooded grassland biome` (<http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_01000195>). Microbial communities may be more significantly affected by their environmental material than a bird, as the microbe more directly interacts on this scale. The advantage of integrating Darwin Core with ENVO is that it provides a mechanism for integrating environmental descriptions for a broad range of species. Further, ENVO provides distinct URIs that can be used to denote the exact material, feature, or biome in question, making the content more semantically precise. Thus, it is recommended that the value of the Darwin Core habitat property be selected from the ENVO habitat class. For publishing using Darwin Core Archives, the ENVO label for the term should be used, e.g., `brackish water habitat` while, if publishing the data in RDF, the URI <http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_00000570> should be used. It is also recommended that Darwin Core include three new properties (environmental material, environmental feature, and biome), the recommended vocabulary for which should be from the equivalent ENVO classes.
## GeologicalContext terms
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#GeologicalContext>
## Location terms
***Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#Location>
### Geographic terms
A good reference for place names is the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN), which can be found at <http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/>.
Administrative boundary files can be obtained from the Global Administrative Areas (GADM) data set at <http://biogeo.berkeley.edu/gadm/>.
MARC records for geographic names, including URIs, can be found at <http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/geographicAreas.html>.
GBIF maintains a list of named area standards and how to use them as a `dwc:locationID` at <http://rs.gbif.org/areas/>
#### locationID
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#locationID>
A `locationID` should identify the specific locality.
It can be used to refer to known named areas from external vocabularies such as the TDWG World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. GBIF maintains a list of named area standards and how to use them as a `dwc:locationID`: <http://rs.gbif.org/areas/>
#### higherGeography
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#higherGeography>
The term `higherGeography` is meant to allow the capture of information about geographic features that are not in the standard admnistrative terms (`continent`, `country`, `countryCode`, `stateProvince`, `county`, `municipality`, `waterBody`, `islandGroup`, `island`) as well as the verbatim original data for those same terms. A common use of `higherGeography`, therefore, is to share information about a protected area, where that information reside in a field in the original data rather than in the locality field.
Example: `South America; Argentina; Patagonia; Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi; Neuquén; Los Lagos` with accompanying values `South America` in `continent`, `Argentina` in `country`, `Neuquén` in `stateProvince`, and `Los Lagos` in `county`.
#### continent
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#continent>
Standard continents and their codes can be found at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_continent_(data_file)>.
#### countryCode
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#countryCode>
The official list of ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country codes can be found at <http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements>.
#### stateProvince
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#stateProvince>
The name of this term is not meant to limit its content to the names of states or provinces. The term name is a legacy from the original version of the Darwin Core. Despite the term's name, the content has always been intended to include the name of a first-level administrative subdivision of a country.
#### county
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#county>
The name of this term is not meant to limit its content to the names of counties. The term name is a legacy from the original version of the Darwin Core. Despite the term's name, the content has always been intended to include the name of a second-level administrative subdivision of a country.
#### municipality
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#municipality>
The name of this term is not meant to limit its content to names of municipalities. Instead, it is intended to include the name of a third-level administrative subdivision of a country.
### Verbatim coordinate terms
The terms beginning with `verbatim` are meant to capture the original record of the coordinates of the Location. `verbatimCoordinates` is meant to capture coordinates that have not or cannot be separated into the `verbatimLatitude` and `verbatimLongitude`. If the coordinates can be separated, they should be, since there is less chance to misinterpret the content. The `verbatimCoordinateSystem` and the `verbatimSRS` both refer to the values in `verbatimLatitude` and `verbatimLongitude`, or to the value in `verbatimCoordinates`.
#### verbatimLatitude, verbatimLongitude
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#verbatimLatitude>
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#verbatimLongitude>
These terms are meant to capture the original coordinates for the Location in their original format. If possible, these coordinates should also be translated into the combination of `decimalLatitude`, `decimalLongitude`, `geodeticDatum`, and `coordinateUncertaintyInMeters`, but only if you really know what you are doing - coordinate transformations can be challenging. Use these two verbatim fields to capture coordinates in systems such as UTM, providing the spatial reference system for them in the `verbatimSRS`. If the original spatial information is an area (for example, a grid cell or a protected area polygon), use the `footprintWKT` and the `footprintSRS` to capture the complete area information.
#### verbatimCoordinateSystem
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#verbatimCoordinateSystem>
The `verbatimCoordinateSystem` term is meant to help with the interpretation of the values given in `verbatimLatitude` and `verbatimLongitude`, or `verbatimCoordinates`.
The recommended controlled vocabulary includes:
```
decimal degrees
degrees decimal minutes
degrees minutes seconds
UTM
CRTM
```
UTM refers to Universal Transverse Mercator. CRTM refers to Costa Rica Transverse Mercator.
For verbatim coordinates given in degrees, or degrees and minutes, use `degrees minutes seconds`.
#### verbatimSRS
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#verbatimSRS>
This term refers only to the values given in `verbatimLatitude` and `verbatimLongitude`, or `verbatimCoordinates`, but the recommended best practice is the same as for `geodeticDatum`, below.
### Georeference terms
Further detailed explanations of the terms associated with georeferences (spatial descriptions of place using points, circles, lines, polygons, etc.) can be found in the Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing <http://www.gbif.org/prog/digit/Georeferencing>.
#### decimalLatitude, decimalLongitude
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#decimalLatitude>
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#decimalLongitude>
`decimalLatitude` and `decimalLongitude` are always in decimal degrees. The Spatial Reference System for these coordinates must be given in the `geodeticDatum` term. Other types of original coordinates, such as UTM, should be given in one or both of the following combinations:
```
verbatimLatitude, verbatimLongitude, verbatimSRS
```
or
```
footprintWKT, footprintSRS
```
#### geodeticDatum
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#geodeticDatum>
Ideally one should use a standard European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) code to a Spatial Reference System as a value for this term. The recommended controlled vocabulary is to use a value consisting of the string `EPSG:` followed by a valid EPSG code corresponding to the spatial reference system used for the geographic coordinates in the terms `decimalLatitude` and `decimalLongitude`.
A good resource for determining the EPSG code from the Datum name can be found at <http://spatialreference.org/>.
Some common EPSG codes and the Datums they use can be found in the following table:
EPSG code | Datum
--- | ---
EPSG:4326 | WGS84
EPSG:4269 | NAD83
EPSG:4267 | NAD27
If you don't know the details of the SRS, then it is permissible to provide the name or code of the geodetic datum for the `decimalLatitude` and `decimalLongitude` coordinates. Sometimes this information is not on the original source (such as a map), while an ellipsoid name is given. In this case, provide the name of the ellipsoid. If the spatial reference system, datum, or ellipsoid are not known, use the value `unknown` for this term.
A good reference for datum and ellipsoid names is <http://www.colorado.edu/geography/gcraft/notes/datum/edlist.html>
#### georeferenceProtocol
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#georeferenceProtocol>
It is recommended to give a citation (publication or URL) to the resource describing the methods used to determine the georeference (coordinates AND uncertainty, or footprint). Good resources on methods include:
1. Chapman, A.D. and J. Wieczorek (eds). 2006. Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing. Copenhagen: Global Biodiversity Information Facility. Accessible from <http://www.gbif.org/orc/?doc_id=1288>
2. MaNIS/HerpNet/ORNIS Georeferencing Guidelines.(HTML) Accessible from <http://manisnet.org/GeorefGuide.html>
3. Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide. (PDF) Accessible from <http://manisnet.org/GeoreferencingQuickReferenceGuide.pdf>
#### georeferenceVerificationStatus
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#georeferenceVerificationStatus>
The recommended controlled vocabulary includes:
```
unverified
verified by data custodian
verified by contributor
```
The data contributor is the agent who participated in the Event that produced the Location. Verification by the contributor means that the georeference as recorded is correct and as specific as it can be based on the contributor's personal knowledge of the event and location.
The data custodian is the agent responsible for the management of the primary source of the record. Verification by the data custodian means that the georeference as recorded is correct and as specific as it can be based on the all of the resources at the disposal of the agent (field notes, maps, labels) in the absence of verification by the contributor.
All other georeferences, those produced without consulting all existing primary sources, should be `unverified`.
#### footprintSRS
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#footprintSRS>
The specification for constructing Spatial Reference Systems in WKT can be found at <http://geoapi.sourceforge.net/2.0/javadoc/org/opengis/referencing/doc-files/WKT.html>. Following are some example WKT renditions of common Spatial Reference Systems:
WGS84:
```
GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]
```
NAD27:

Further explanation of the International Standards Organization standard ISO 8601 can be found at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601>.
### typeStatus
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#typeStatus>
The recommended controlled vocabulary for the status portion of the content of the `typeStatus` term includes:
```
holotype
paratype
neotype
syntype
lectotype
paralectotype
hapantotype
```
## Taxon Terms
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#Taxon>
### higherClassification
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#higherClassification>
The typical use for this term is to capture the rank-ordered list of names in a classification for a given `scientificName`. Thus, if `scientificName` with the rank `species` is given, then the `higherClassification` would normally contain the list of names in the classification from kingdom to genus, inclusive.
**Example**:
scientificName: `Ctenomys sociabilis` (rank: `species`)
higherClassification:
```
Animalia;Chordata;Vertebrata;Mammalia;Theria;Eutheria;Rodentia;Hystricognatha;Hystricognathi;Ctenomyidae;Ctenomyini;Ctenomys
```
### infraspecificEpithet
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#infraspecificEpithet>
The `infraspecificEpithet` should only be the terminal name part - the part of the name with the lowest or most specific rank. Thus, given the `scientificName` `Carex viridula subsp. brachyrrhyncha var. elatior`, the atomized Taxon terms for this name would be:
genus: `Carex`
specificEpithet: `viridula`
infraspecificEpithet: `elatior`
taxonRank: `varietas`
scientificNameAuthorship: `(Schltdl.) Crins`
Ideally the scientific name would include the authorship and have three parts to comply with the nomenclatural code (ICBN in this case):
```
Carex viridula var. elatior (Schltdl.) Crins
```
### nameAccordingToID, nameAccordingTo
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#nameAccordingToID>
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#nameAccordingTo>
If no `nameAccordingTo` or `nameAccordingToID` is given explicitly given for a Taxon record, the "nominal concept" as defined by TCS should be assumed. In most cases, the `nameAccordingTo` will refer to a publication, but it may also refer to other sources, such as single-copy documents and other documented taxon concept definitions asserted by an individual, institution, or team of individuals.
### nomenclaturalCode
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#nomenclaturalCode>
The GBIF recommended controlled value vocabulary can be found at <http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/nomenclatural_code.xml> and include the following:
Value | Comment |
--- | ---
BioCode |
ICBN | International Code of Botanical Nomenclature
ICNB | International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria
ICNCP | International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants
ICZN | International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
ICVCN | International Code of Virus Classifications and Nomenclature
Combinations of codes for ambiregnal names should be made by concatenating the codes, separated by a semi-colon (`;`). Example: `ICZN; ICBN`

### originalNameUsageID, originalNameUsage
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#originalNameUsageID>
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#originalNameUsage>
* For an original name usage record, the `nameAccordingTo` value should match the `namePublishedIn` value.
* A description of basionym and basonym can be found at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basionym>.
* Good examples for synonyms, basionyms, replaced names, etc. can be found in <http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/PROTEM/TAXSIG/taxonomy_synonyms_examples.pdf>.
### scientificName
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#scientificName>
In an Occurrence record, the `scientificName` (and associated taxon fields) should be populated at the source based on the identification (determination) currently accepted by the institution maintaining the original record (usually, but not necessarily, the latest determination).
### taxonomicStatus
**Quick reference**: <http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/index.htm#taxonomicStatus>
The GBIF recommended controlled value vocabulary can be found at <http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/taxonomic_status.xml> and includes the following:
Value | Comment

## Type vocabulary terms
The Type Vocabulary used in Darwin Core consists of two parts, vocabulary to describe the record in terms consistent with the Dublin Core Type vocabulary (using the `dcterms:type` term) and vocabulary to describe the specific biodiversity-related content for a record (using the `basisOfRecord` term).
### dcterms:type
The list of valid values for the `dcterms:type` include:
```
PhysicalObject
StillImage
MovingImage
Sound
Event
```
`dcterms` designates the namespace for the Dublin Core terms, which is <http://purl.org/dc/terms>.
### basisOfRecord
The list of valid values for the `basisOfRecord` include:
```
Occurrence
MaterialSample
Event
Location
Taxon
PreservedSpecimen
FossilSpecimen
LivingSpecimen
HumanObservation
MachineObservation
NomenclaturalChecklist
``
#### PreservedSpecimen
