Darwin Core Term Reference

+

This document is a quick reference for all recommended Darwin Core terms. For complete historical term information, including version changes and pre-standard terms, see [HISTORY]. For a comparative table of elements from pre-standard versions of Darwin Core to the current terms in the standard, see [VERSIONS].

+
+ + +

+Audience: This document is targeted toward those who need a reference (lists and definitions) to the essential information about the current recommended Darwin Core terms.

+ +

This quick guide provides a list of all current terms of the Darwin core. The terms are organized by categories (in bold) 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 in the list immediately below the name of the category in the index. The index provides links to the term descriptions in the table below the index.

+ +

Names that begin with dcterms: are terms managed by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative [DCMI], which are reproduced here and which may include a description and comments adapted for the biodiversity community. The original definition of such terms can be found by following the link given in the Details section for the term.

+ +

Terms under the Record-level Terms section apply to the whole record regardless of the record type. For example, a record for a camera trap bird sighting would fall into the Dublin Core dcterms:type category StillImage and at the same time into the Darwin Core basisOfRecord category MachineObservation - a particular type of Occurrence, so the value of dcterms:type term for the record would be "StillImage" and the value of the basisOfRecord term would be "MachineObservation" to show which kind of Occurrence record it is. All of the rest of the record-level terms would apply to the Occurrence record.

+ +

The terms found under the Auxiliary Terms section can only be meaningfully implemented in an application that supports relational structures. For example, none of the auxiliary terms will be found in the specification of the Simple Darwin Core [SIMPLEDWC], which is "flat" in structure.

Instances of the Organism class are intended to facilitate linking of one or more Identification instances to one or more Occurrence instances. Therefore, things that are typically assigned scientific names (such as viruses, hybrids, and lichens) and aggregates whose occurrences are typically recorded (such as packs, clones, and colonies) are included in the scope of this class.

Comment
The recommended best practice is to separate the values with a vertical bar (' | '). The primary collector or observer, especially one who applies a personal identifier (recordNumber), should be listed first. Examples: "José E. Crespo", "Oliver P. Pearson | Anita K. Pearson" where the value in recordNumber "OPP 7101" corresponds to the number for the specimen in the field catalog (collector number) of Oliver P. Pearson.

A particular organism or defined group of organisms considered to be taxonomically homogeneous.

Comment

Instances of the Organism class are intended to facilitate linking of one or more Identification instances to one or more Occurrence instances. Therefore, things that are typically assigned scientific names (such as viruses, hybrids, and lichens) and aggregates whose occurrences are typically recorded (such as packs, clones, and colonies) are included in the scope of this class.

This term is not intended to be used to specify a type of taxon. To describe the kind of Organism using a URI object in RDF, use rdf:type (http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type) instead. Examples: "multicellular organism", "virus", "clone" "pack", "colony".

The recommended best practice is to separate the values with a vertical bar (' | '), with terms in order from least specific to most specific. Examples: "North Atlantic Ocean", "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.
