1. Introduction

-

-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 should be viewed as an extension of the Dublic 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]. +

+ + +

Darwin Core

-

-Extension: Though the Darwin Core is insufficient for the needs of all biological -disciplines, it can be adapted to serve new purposes. The -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 set up specific -feeds in 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 page -in the Darwin Core Project Wiki [DWC-WIKI]. -Commentary can be added to any term's wiki page. Similarly, the project site can be used for discussion and development -of application schemas that make use of the Darwin Core. -

-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 [XMLSCHEMAGUIDE], 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]. +

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.

- -[PROCESS] -http://www.tdwg.org/about-tdwg/process/ -TDWG Standards Development Process. - +

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].

There is some suggestion to use the values described in ISO 3166-2 (http://www.iso.ch/cate/d8349.html), however these values are in a continual state of flux and it appears unlikely that an appropriate mechanism (by ISO) will be in place to manage these changes. Hence it is recommended that where possible, the full, unabbreviated name should be used for storing information. The server should optionally handle abbreviations as an access point.

-Audience: This document is targeted toward those who wish to use or share information based on the Darwin Core terms using text -files. It provides technical details on how to construct these files and complementary metadata files that describe their content. -

-This document provides guidelines for formatting and sharing Darwin Core terms [TERMS] in -fielded text formats, such as one or more comma separated value (CSV) files. Data conforming to the Simple Darwin Core -[SIMPLEDWC] (CSV format and having the first row include Darwin Core standard term names) -can be shared in a single file, while a non-standard text file can be understood using an [XML] -metafile to describe its contents and formatting.

Darwin Core Text Guide

-
- -More complex structure can be shared in multiple related files. The description of content and relationships between files can -be achieved using the metafile. This guideline makes recommendations for the simple case of a core file, upon which -Darwin Core records are based, and extensions that are linked to records in that core file. Specifically, extension -records have a many-to-one relationship with records in the core file. For example, a core file might contain specimen records, -with one specimen per row in the file, while an extension file contains one or more identifications for those specimens, with one identification per row in the extension file, and with an identifier -to the specimen for each identification row. This example would allow many identifications to be associated with each specimen. -

1. Introduction
Audience: This document is targeted toward
+  those who wish to use or share information based on the Darwin Core terms
+  using text files. It provides technical details on how to construct these
+  files and complementary metadata files that describe their content.
+
+  
This document provides guidelines for formatting and sharing Darwin Core
+  terms [TERMS] in fielded text formats,
+  such as one or more comma separated value (CSV) files. Data conforming to the
+  Simple Darwin Core [SIMPLEDWC] (CSV
+  format and having the first row include Darwin Core standard term names) can
+  be shared in a single file, while a non-standard text file can be understood
+  using an [XML] metafile to describe its
+  contents and formatting.

+  

+  More complex structure can be shared in multiple related files. The
+  description of content and relationships between files can be achieved using
+  the metafile. This guideline makes recommendations for the simple case of a
+  core file, upon which Darwin Core records are based, and
+  extensions that are linked to records in that core file.
+  Specifically, extension records have a many-to-one relationship with
+  records in the core file. For example, a core file might contain specimen
+  records, with one specimen per row in the file, while an extension file
+  contains one or more identifications for those specimens, with one
+  identification per row in the extension file, and with an identifier to the
+  specimen for each identification row. This example would allow many
+  identifications to be associated with each specimen.

1.2 XML versus Fielded Text

-

-Many resources exist on the web describing the advantages of Extensible Markup Language [XML] 
-over less structured content such as fielded text. The Darwin Core Text Guide (this document) is not meant to promote
-the use of fielded text over XML for data exchange, but rather to provide recommendations for how to handle such data files when necessary.
-

-Two scenarios that might benefit from the use of fielded text are:
-
    
-	
  • The transfer of large numbers of Darwin Core records and related data from one database to another.  
-		Typically databases are very efficient at exporting and importing comma separated text files.
    • 
-	
  • The description of legacy data existing in a fielded text format, such that it might be automatically understood and loaded into another system.  
-		It could be that this system would then serve the data in another format such as XML.
    •

2. Metafile Content

-

-The text metafile schema [TEXTSCHEMA] provides technical details for the 
-structure of a metafile by defining the elements and attributes required to describe the contents and relationships 
-between text files. These elements and attributes, with descriptions and specifications for their use in a metafile, 
-are described in the following table.
-

+  
1.2 XML versus Fielded Text

 
-
2.1 The <archive> element

-The <archive> element is the container for the list of related files (one core and zero or more extensions). The <archive>
-element has just one attribute, metadata.

Elements
ElementDescription
<core>An <archive> must contain exactly one <core> element, representing the data entity (the actual file and its column header mappings to Darwin Core terms) upon which records are based.

-				If extensions are being used, each record in the core data must have a unique identifier.  The field for this identifier must be specified in an explicit <id> field in order to associate extension records with the core record. 
-				
<extension>An <archive> may define zero or more <extension> elements, each representing an individual extension entity directly related to the core.
-In addition to the general file attributes described below, every extension entity must have an explicit <coreId> field to relate the extension record to a row in the core entity. The extension itself does not have to have a unique ID field and many rows can point to the same core record.

linesTerminatedBySpecifies the row separator character.
-				\n
fieldsEnclosedBySpecifies the character used to enclose (mark the start and end of) each field.
-				CSV files frequently use the double quote character ("), but the default is no enclosing character. Note that a comma separated value file that has commas within the content of any field must have an enclosing character.

8-bit Unicode Transformation Format.

-						
UTF-16

-						
16-bit Unicode Transformation Format.

dateFormatWhen verbatim dates are consistent in format, this field can be used to indicate the format represented. It is recommended to use the date, dateTime and time for field formats wherever possible, but where verbatim dates are required, a format may be specified here.
-				This should be considered a 'hint' for consumers.  It is recommended that consumers support the minimum combinations of DD MM and YYYY with the separators / and -.  Examples:
-				

-					
DDMMYYYY

-					
For dates of the form 21121978

-					
DD-MM-YYYY

-					
For dates of the form 21-12-1978

-					
MMDDYYYY

-					
For dates of the form 12211978

-

ElementDescription
<files><core> or <extension> element must contain one <files> element to locate the data being described.
<id>If extensions are being used, the <core> must contain an <id> element that indicates the identifier for a record.
<coreId>If extensions are being used, the <extension> element must contain a <coreId> element that indicates the column in the extension file that contains the core record identifier (the matching <id> in the core file).
<field>A <core> or <extension> element must contain one or more <field> elements, each representing a 'column' in the row.

-

-
2.3 The <files> element
				
-

-	The files element must contain one or more <location> elements, each defining where a file resides. Each core or extension entity can be composed from one or more files. If an entity has data in more than one file, use the <location> element multiple times, once for each file that makes up the entity.

3.1 Extension example

-The following example illustrates the use of extensions. In this example there are three files in the archive, all of which
-are located in the same directory as the metafile. The whales.txt file acts as a core file of Taxon records. The whales.txt file 
-is extended by two other files, types.txt and distribution.txt. The types.txt file contains records of a type specified in an 
-external definition at http://http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/Types and consists of Dublin Core and Darwin Core terms, while the 
-distribution.txt file contains records of a type specified at http://http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/Distribution and consists of 
-Darwin Core terms plus an additional term for threatStatus. Both extension files are related to the core file by the taxonNameID fields.
-Presumably, this archive contains information about whale species, type specimen records for those species, and lists of countries and
-the threat status for those species.

The text metafile schema [TEXTSCHEMA] provides technical details
+  for the structure of a metafile by defining the elements and attributes
+  required to describe the contents and relationships between text files. These
+  elements and attributes, with descriptions and specifications for their use
+  in a metafile, are described in the following table.

 
+  
2.1 The <archive> element
The <archive> element is the
+  container for the list of related files (one core and zero or more
+  extensions). The <archive> element has just one attribute,
+  metadata.

metadataContains a qualified Uniform Resource Locator (URL) defining the

+        Ecological Metadata Language (EML), Federal Geographic Data Committee
+        (FGDC), or ISO 19115 family is recommended.

ElementDescription

+          <core>
+        
+          An <archive> must contain exactly one <core> element, representing the data entity
+          (the actual file and its column header mappings to Darwin Core terms)
+          upon which records are based.

+          If extensions are being used, each record in the core data must have
+          a unique identifier. The field for this identifier must be specified
+          in an explicit <id> field in order to associate extension
+          records with the core record.
+        

+          <extension>
+        
+          An <archive> may define zero or more <extension> elements, each representing an
+          individual extension entity directly related to the core. In addition
+          to the general file attributes described below, every extension
+          entity must have an explicit <coreId> field to relate the
+          extension record to a row in the core entity. The extension itself
+          does not have to have a unique ID field and many rows can point to
+          the same core record.

+          http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/Taxon for Taxon records. Additional
+          classes may be referenced by URI and defined outside the Darwin Core
+          specification. The row type defaults to the ambiguous
+          SimpleDarwinRecord. For convenience the URIs for classes defined by

+        comments for example.
+
+        0
dateFormat
+          When verbatim dates are consistent in format, this field can be used
+          to indicate the format represented. It is recommended to use the

+          where verbatim dates are required, a format may be specified here.
+          This should be considered a 'hint' for consumers. It is recommended
+          that consumers support the minimum combinations of DD MM and YYYY
+          with the separators / and -. Examples:

+          <core> or <extension> element must contain one <files> element to locate the data being
+          described.
+        
<id>
+          If extensions are being used, the <core>
+          must contain an <id> element that indicates the identifier for
+          a record.
+        
<coreId>
+          If extensions are being used, the <extension> element must contain a
+          <coreId> element that indicates the column in the extension
+          file that contains the core record identifier (the matching
+          <id> in the core file).
+        

+          <field>
+        
+          A <core> or <extension> element must contain one or more
+          <field> elements, each representing a
+          'column' in the row.
+        

+  

+
+  
2.3 The <files> element

+
+  
The files element must contain one or more <location> elements, each
+  defining where a file resides. Each core or extension entity can be composed
+  from one or more files. If an entity has data in more than one file, use the
+  <location> element multiple times, once for each file that makes up the
+  entity.

+
+          
    
+            
  • A web accessible URL such as

    • 
+          

+        

+  

+
+  
2.4 The <field>
+  element
The field element is used to specify the location and content
+  of data within a file. There must be one field element for every term being
+  shared for the entity, whether explicitly or through the use of a default
+  value for all rows in the file.

+        constant value for all rows.
+        
+      
termA Unified Resource Identifier (URI) for the term represented by
+        this field. For example, a field containing the scientific name would
+        have term="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName".
+        Terms outside of the Darwin Core specification may be used, such as
+        those from the Dublin Core Metadata Initative, for example,
+        dcterms:modified would be
+        term="http://purl.org/dc/terms/modified".✓
+      
defaultSpecifies value to use if one is not supplied for the field in a
+        given row. If no index is supplied, the default can be used to define a
+        constant for all rows for a field that is not in the data file.
+        
+      
vocabularyA Unified Resource Identifier (URI) for a vocabulary that the
+        source values for this field are based on. The URI ideally should
+        resolve to some machine readable definition like SKOS, RDF or at least
+        some simple text or html file often found for ISO or RFC standards. For
+        example http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/nomenclatural_code.xml,
+        http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt or

3. Implementation Guide

+
+  
3.1 Extension example
The following example illustrates the use of
+  extensions. In this example there are three files in the archive, all of
+  which are located in the same directory as the metafile. The whales.txt file
+  acts as a core file of Taxon records. The whales.txt file is extended by two
+  other files, types.txt and distribution.txt. The types.txt file contains
+  records of a type specified in an external definition at
+  http://http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/Types and consists of Dublin Core and
+  Darwin Core terms, while the distribution.txt file contains records of a type
+  specified at http://http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/Distribution and consists of
+  Darwin Core terms plus an additional term for threatStatus. Both extension
+  files are related to the core file by the taxonNameID fields. Presumably,
+  this archive contains information about whale species, type specimen records
+  for those species, and lists of countries and the threat status for those
+  species.

-It is very easy to produce fielded text using the SELECT INTO outfile command from MySQL. The encoding of the 
-resulting file will depend on the server variables and collations used, and might need to be modified before 
-the operation is done. Note that MySQL will export NULL values as \N by default. Use the IFNULL() function as shown in the following

1. Introduction

-Audience: This document is targeted toward those who wish to use or construct application schemas using Darwin Core terms in XML.
-It includes explanations of existing schemas such as the Simple Darwin Core [SIMPLEDWC] and how 
-to build new schemas to meet specific models of information.
-

-This document provides guidelines for implementing application schemas based on Darwin Core terms 
-[TERMS] using [XML]. The underlying metadata 
-model is described (in a syntax neutral way), followed by some specific guidelines for XML implementations. Some guidance 
-on the use of non-Darwin Core terms is also provided.
-

-This document does not provide guidelines for encoding Darwin Core in RDF/XML. Nor does it take a position on the 
-relative merits of encoding metadata in 'plain' XML rather than RDF/XML. This document provides guidelines in those 
-cases where RDF/XML is not considered appropriate.

+          

 
- 
-
2.1 XML Schema

-Implementors should base their XML applications on XML Schemas 
-[XMLSCHEMA] rather than XML DTDs. Approaches 
-based on XML Schemas are more flexible and are more easily re-used within other XML applications. 
-

- 
-
2.2 XML Namespaces

-Implementors should use XML Namespaces 
-[XMLNS] to uniquely identify elements. 
-Darwin Core namespaces are defined in the Darwin Core Namespace Policy 
-[NAMESPACEPOLICY], while Dublin Core namespaces are defined in the
-DCMI Namespace Recommendation [DCMINS].
-

- 
-
2.3 Abstract model

-

-The Darwin Core follows the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative Abstract Model [ABSTRACTMODEL]
-except that the Darwin Core record is roughly equivalent to the Dublin Core resource.
-
    
-
  • Darwin Core terms are either classes or properties.
    • 
-
  • Each property has at most one class as its domain (describes no more than one class).
    • 
-
  • A Darwin Core record is made up of zero or more classes and one or more properties with their associated values.
    • 
-
  • Each value is a literal string.
    • 
-
  • The values of properties within a Darwin Core record describe that record.
    • 
-
  • A Darwin Core record must include all required properties, if any, and their associated values.
    • 
-
-

-

- 
-
2.4 Properties and Values

-
The Darwin Core follows the guidelines for expressing Dublin Core metadata using XML 
-[DCMIXMLGUIDE] except in that
-Darwin Core implementors should encode properties as XML elements and values 
-as the content of those elements instead of having each property contain a value representation and its associated value. 
-The name of the XML element should be an XML qualified name (QName), which associates the value given in the Term name 
-attribute in the Darwin Core Terms recommendation 
-[TERMS] with the appropriate namespace name. For example, use
-
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

+  Darwin Core implementors should encode properties as XML elements
+  and values as the content of those elements instead of having each

+  the XML element should be an XML qualified name (QName), which associates the
+  value given in the Term name attribute in the Darwin Core Terms
+  recommendation [TERMS] with the appropriate
+  namespace name. For example, use

+  
+<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     targetNamespace="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/"
     xmlns:dwc="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/">
 ...
 <dwc:basisOfRecord>HumanObservation</dwc:basisOfRecord>
-

-
rather than

-
<dwc:basisOfRecord value="HumanObservation" />
-

-

+

 
-
- 
- 
-
2.5 Null values

-

-Elements for which the value is null should be omitted from the document or explicitly coded using the 
-attribute xsi:nil="true". 
-
<dwc:locality xsi:nil="true"/>

-Do not use an empty string - an element with no content:
-
<dwc:locality></dwc:locality>

+

2.6 Simple Darwin Core

-

-The Simple Darwin Core [SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA] most closely models the "flat" nature of many data sets. It 
-is a ready-made schema for sharing information with no structure beyond properties of a record (equivalent to fields in a table, or columns 
-in a spreadsheet).  It is meant to accommodate all properties except those that require further structure to be meaningful
-(auxilliary terms in the classes ResourceRelationship and 
-MeasurementOrFact. The schema has no required terms and no term is repeated within a given 
-record. Refer to the Simple Darwin Core page [SIMPLEDWC]
-for the rationale behind this schema.
-

-Occurrence, Taxon, Event, and Location records can be constructed using an appropriate 
-values of dcterms:type (which is controlled by the Dublin Core Type Vocabulary 
-[DCMI-TYPE]) to describe the Class that is the root of the record. Use the 
-basisOfRecord (having a separate controlled vocabulary, Darwin Core Type Vocabulary 
-[DWC-TYPE]) to describe the specific type of 
-record (various types of specimens, media, taxon records, etc.).
-

-Following is a brief example of an XML document for a single specimen complying with the Simple Darwin Core Schema 
-[SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA]. The Simple Darwin Core XML example document 
-[SIMPLEXMLEXAMPLE] (if this link shows a blank page in 
-your browser, use the View Source option to see the XML document) shows 
-detail for a single record having a more complete set of elements.

The Simple Darwin Core [SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA] most closely models
+  the "flat" nature of many data sets. It is a ready-made schema for sharing
+  information with no structure beyond properties of a record
+  (equivalent to fields in a table, or columns in a spreadsheet). It is meant

+  schema.

+
+  
The term dcterms:type (which is
+  controlled by the Dublin Core Type Vocabulary [DCMI-TYPE]),
+  gives the basic category of object (PhysicalObject, StillImage, MovingImage,
+  Sound, or Text) the record is about. The term basisOfRecord, which has a controlled
+  vocabulary distinct from that of dcterms:type, shows the name of the
+  Darwin Core class (e.g., LivingSpecimen, PreservedSpecimen, FossilSpecimen,
+  HumanObservation, MachineObservation, Taxon) the record is about.

Following is a brief example of an XML document for a single specimen

2.7 Classes and Containment

-

-Many Darwin Core terms (properties) are defined as being associated with another term (a class). 
-For example, scientificName and 
-Taxon are both Darwin Core terms, and scientificName is associated with the Taxon class. 
-When constructing schemas that take advantage of classes in structures, implementors are encouraged to maintain the 
-property/class relationships defined by the terms whenever possible (refer to the Class attribute of the term as 
-given in the Quick Reference Guide [TERMS]). To promote reuse, Darwin Core provides 
-a set of xml schemas to use as the basis of additional schemas:
-
    
- 
  • [TERMSXMLSCHEMA] - property term definitions as typed global 
-elements and named groups for all terms for a given class to be referenced. The schema makes use of substitution 
-groups anyClass, anyProperty, anyIdentifier and anyXYZTerm for each class, e.g. anyTaxonTerm. This is the schema
-upon which the Simple Darwin Core XML Schema
-[SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA] is based. 
- 
    • 
- 
  • [CLASSTERMSXMLSCHEMA] - class term definitions as typed global 
-elements with subelements referencing all corresponding property terms via their substitution group.
- 
    • 
-

-

-It is encouraged to use classes in a normalized way to avoid deep nesting. A Darwin Core Tools and Applications wiki page 
-[TOOLS] has been created as an index to example schemas
-for the purpose of community discussions and development.
+  

 
-An XML schema [CLASSXMLSCHEMA] is provided to freely mix any Darwin 
-Core Class in a global list and allow them to reference each other using the respective class 
-identifier terms. Following is an example of using normalized classes to represent two related specimen occurrences
-(one of which has had a second identification) at one location following this class-based schema. Note that you can 
-reuse the location definition here by referring to it via locationID:

1. Introduction

-Audience: This document is targeted toward those who wish to understand the reasoning behind changes (or rejections of proposed
-changes) to the Darwin Core terms.
-

-From time to time changes are proposed to Darwin Core terms through the process described in the Term Change Policy
-section of the Darwin Core Namespace Policy [NAMESPACEPOLICY]. This document shows the outcome of 
-decisions based on officially proposed changes.

Title:Darwin Core Decision History
Decision-2009-12-07_1
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2009-12-07_1
	
Description:The recommended controlled vocabulary for dcterms:type was changed from a vocabulary of Darwin Core Classes (Occurrence, Taxon, Location, Event) to the DCMI type vocabulary (PhysicalObject, Event, StillImage, MovingImage, Sound, Text, Dataset) to be consistent with the standard use of that term.
	
Date:2009-12-07
Decision-2009-12-07_2
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2009-12-07_2
	
Description:The recommended controlled vocabulary for basisOfRecord remains the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary, but the Dublin Core classes StillImage, MovingImage, and Sound were removed from that list as these are to be used as vocabulary for the dcterms:type term.
	
Date:2009-12-07
Decision-2011-10-16_3
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2011-10-16_3
	
Description:The Dublin Core type vocabulary values StillImage, MovingImage, and Sound have not been added to the list of valid values for Darwin Core type vocabulary pending further insights from the RDF Interest Group about how best to manage basisOfRecord when a record can be "about" more than one subject.
	
Date:2011-10-16
Decision-2011-10-16_4
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2011-10-16_4
	
Description:The recommendation to add alias as an attribute of Darwin Core terms was rejected as being an application-specific recommendation without sufficiently demonstrated community need.
	
Date:2011-10-16
Decision-2011-10-16_5
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2011-10-16_5
	
Description:The label for all terms have been changed to words in English rather than lower camel case term names. This will facilitate discovery with search engines and is consistent with Dublin Core.
	
Date:2011-10-16
Decision-2011-10-16_6
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2011-10-16_6
	
Description:The subclasses for Darwin Core type vocabulary have been removed. These were seen as too constraining when considering biodiversity information in the context of linked data.
	
Date:2011-10-16
Decision-2011-10-16_7
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2011-10-16_7
	
Description:The term Darwin Core term dwc:occurrenceDetails has been deprecated in favor of a new record-level term from the Dublin Core - dcterms:references, which is broader in meaning than the deprecated term.
	
Date:2011-10-16
Decision-2011-10-16_8
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2011-10-16_8
	
Description:Added term namePublishedInYear.
	
Date:2011-10-16
Decision-2011-10-16_9
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2011-10-16_9
	
Description:Added term georeferencedDate.
	
Date:2011-10-16
Decision-2011-10-16_10
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2011-10-16_10
	
Description:Added term identificationVerificationStatus.
	
Date:2011-10-16
Decision-2013-10-09_11
	
Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/Decision-2013-10-09_11
	
Description:Added term MaterialSample.

1. Introduction
Audience: This document is targeted toward
+  those who wish to understand the reasoning behind changes (or rejections of
+  proposed changes) to the Darwin Core terms.
+
+  
From time to time changes are proposed to Darwin Core terms through the
+  process described in the Term Change Policy section of the Darwin Core
+  Namespace Policy [NAMESPACEPOLICY]. This document shows the
+  outcome of decisions based on officially proposed changes.

Description:The recommended controlled vocabulary for dcterms:type was changed

+        Event) to the DCMI type vocabulary (PhysicalObject, Event, StillImage,
+        MovingImage, Sound, Text, Dataset) to be consistent with the standard
+        use of that term.

Description:The Dublin Core type vocabulary values StillImage, MovingImage, and

1. Introduction

-Audience: 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 [ABCD] schema. 
-

-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 ([CLASSIC], 
-[MANIS], 
-[OBIS], 
-[DRAFT14], 
-[CURATORIAL], 
-[GEOSPATIAL]) are each compared (mapped conceptually) to the 
-Access to Biological Collections Data [ABCD] 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.

1. Introduction
Audience: 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 [ABCD] schema.
 
-
\ No newline at end of file
+  
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 ([CLASSIC],
+  [MANIS],
+  [OBIS], [DRAFT14], [CURATORIAL], [GEOSPATIAL]) are each
+  compared (mapped conceptually) to the Access to Biological Collections Data
+  [ABCD] 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. 

+
+  
2. Mappings

+  
2.1 Darwin Core 1.2 (Classic)

+  2.2 OBIS extension

+  2.3 Darwin Core 1.21
+  (MaNIS/HerpNet/ORNIS/FishNet2)

+  2.4 Darwin Core 1.4 (Draft Standard)

+  2.5 Darwin Core 1.4 Curatorial extension

+  2.6 Darwin Core 1.4 Geospatial extension

+  2.7 Darwin Core 1.4 Paleontology extension

+  2.8 Standard Darwin Core (Recommended)

Title:Darwin Core Terms: A complete historical record
Date Issued:2009-02-12
Date Modified:2013-10-22
Abstract:This document is an authoritative specification of all terms in all of their historical versions as maintained by the 
-Darwin Core Task Group. While this document is useful for complete information and for tracking changes in the status 
-and attributes of terms over time, most users will need just the latest information, which is held in the document 
-"Darwin Core Terms: A quick reference guide" [TERMS].

1. Introduction

-Audience: This document is targeted toward those who wish to understand the complete specification of the Darwin Core terms and
-their histories. Most users will not need the comprehensive historical detail presented here and should instead consult the document 
-Darwin Core Terms: A quick reference guide [TERMS], for the most current basic information on 
-recommended terms. Users who want the authoritative specification of the terms should consult the full Resource Description Framework
-[RDF] document.
-

-This document serves as a complete alphabetically ordered reference for all terms associated with the Darwin Core, including
-historical versions (Classic, MaNIS, OBIS, Draft Standard 1.4, Curatorial extension, Geospatial extension, Paleontology extension) 
-prior to having a standard. 
-

-Users interested in mappings from historical
-versions to the current standard may consult the document Darwin Core Versions 
-[VERSIONS]. Users interested in mappings 
-between the current recommended terms and the most recent schema for Access to Biological 
-Collections Data should consult the document Darwin Core to ABCD Mapping 
-[DWCTOABCD]. Mappings between historical versions and ABCD 2.06
-[ABCD] are contained in this document.

-the term or terms shown in the Is Replaced By column), or recommended (ready for use).
Date Issued:Date on which the term was first published.
Date Modified:Date on which the term was last changed in any way that would change its meaning or use.
Member Of:The Class of which this term is a member.
Has Domain:A Class of which a resource described by the term is a property.
Has Range:A Class of which a value described by the term is an instance.
Decision:The reference to the published decision that resulted in the current version of the term.
Version:The identifier for the specific version of the term.
Replaces:The identifier of the previous version of the term.
Is Replaced By:The identifier of the next newer version of the term.

Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/FootprintSpatialFit
	
Namespace:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/
	
Label:Footprint Spatial Fit
	
Definition:A measure of how well the geometry expressed in the footprint match the original spatial representation, as a ratio of the area of the footprint given to the area of the original spatial representation. Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given georeference does not completely contain the original representation. The FootprintSpatialFit is undefined if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the FootprintSpatialFit is 1. Detailed explanations with graphical examples can be found in the Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing (Chapman and Wieczorek, eds. 2006).

Definition:The ratio of the area of the footprint (footprintWKT) to the area of the true (original, or most specific) spatial representation of the Location. Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given footprint does not completely contain the original representation. The footprintSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point and the given georeference is not that same point. If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the footprintSpatialFit is 1.

Definition:A description of the kind of Organism instance. Can be used to indicate whether the Organism instance represents a discrete organism or if it represents a particular type of aggregation. Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary.
	
Comment: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) instead. Examples: "multicellular organism", "virus", "clone" "pack", "colony".

Identifier:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/PointRadiusSpatialFit
	
Namespace:http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/
	
Label:Point Radius Spatial Fit
	
Definition:A measure of how well the circle defined by the coordinates and uncertainty match the original spatial representation, as a ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the original spatial representation. Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given georeference does not completely contain the original representation. The PointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the PointRadiusSpatialFit is 1. Detailed explanations with graphical examples can be found in the Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing (Chapman and Wieczorek, eds. 2006).

Definition:The ratio of the area of the point-radius (decimalLatitude, decimalLongitude, coordinateUncertaintyInMeters) to the area of the true (original, or most specific) spatial representation of the Location. Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given point-radius does not completely contain the original representation. The pointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the pointRadiusSpatialFit is 1.

Definition:The previous (fully qualified) catalog number of the Cataloged Item if the item earlier identified by another Catalog Number, either in the current catalog or another Institution / catalog. A fully qualified Catalog Number is preceded by Institution Code and Collection Code, with a space separating the each subelement. Referencing a previous Catalog Number does not imply that a record for the referenced item is or is not present in the corresponding catalog, or even that the referenced catalog still exists. This access point is intended to provide a way to retrieve this record by previously used identifier, which may used in the literature. In future versions of this schema this attribute should be set-valued.

Definition:The size of the sample from which the collection/observation was drawn. It can be a volume (e.g. for a phytoplankton sample), a linear distance (e.g. for a visual transect or net haul), a surface area (e.g. for a benthic core), etc. This field must also include the units, e.g. 200 mfor a transect, or 0.25 m^2 for a benthic grab (use ^ to denote a superscript). Note that When multiple collections/observations are reported from the same physical sample, a code identifying the sample can be placed in the Field_Number field to allow all collections/observations from a single sample to be connected.

Label:Type Status
	
Definition:Indicates the kind of nomenclatural type that a specimen represents. (This is incomplete because type status actually describes the relationship between a name and a specimen [or ternary relatiohnship between a specimen, name, and publication].) In particular, the type status may not apply to the name listed in the scientific name, i.e., current identification. In rare cases, a single specimen may be the type of more than one name.

1. Introduction

-Audience: This document is targeted toward those who wish to understand how the standard Darwin Core terms are related to 
-previously used Darwin Core schemas. 
-

-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 ([CLASSIC], 
-[MANIS], 
-[OBIS], 
-[DRAFT14], 
-[CURATORIAL], 
-[GEOSPATIAL]), 
-[PALEO]) 
-are each compared (mapped conceptually) to the 
-current recommended Darwin Core terms [TERMS] in this document. Each historical version is 
-mapped in a separate table and can be referenced quickly from the Mappings section below.

Darwin Core Terms: A quick reference guide

 
-
-
1. Term Index

-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.

1. Introduction

-Audience: This document is targeted toward those who want to make changes to the Darwin Core, either by refining terms that already
-exist or by adding new terms to increase the capabilities of the standard. 
-

-This document and the policies contained herein are modeled on the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative
-Namespace Policy [DCMINAMESPACEPOLICY]. 
-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 Darwin
-Core namespaces. This document describes the policies associated with Darwin Core namespaces and how term 
-URIs are allocated by the Darwin Core Task Group 
-[DWC-TASK].

2. Namespace URIs

+          
+            
+              
+                
 
-
The Darwin Core namespace URI for the collection of all Darwin Core properties, classes, and encoding schemes is:

+                
+              
 
-
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/
-

+              
+                
 
-
The Darwin Core namespace URI for the collection of classes in the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary 
-[DWC-TYPE] is:

+                
+              
 
-
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/dwctype/
-

+              
+                
 
-
All future Darwin Core namespace URIs (additional Darwin Core controlled vocabularies for example) will conform to 
-this pattern:

+                
+              
 
-
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/namespace_label/
-

+              
+                
 
-
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:

+                
+              
 
-
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName
-

+              
+                
 
-
is the Darwin Core term identifier for the scientificName property.

+                
+              
 
-
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/dwctype/MachineObservation
-

+              
+                
 
-
is the Darwin Core term identifier for the MachineObservation term in the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary.

+                
+              
 
-
All Darwin Core identifiers will dereference to a Darwin Core term declaration for the identified 
-term.
+              

+                
 
- 
-
3. Term Change Policy

+                
+              
 
-
Changes to Darwin Core terms or term declarations will occur from time to time for a variety of reasons. 
-Such changes have varying implications for Darwin Core term URIs and Darwin Core namespaces. The classes of 
-changes are identified and explained in the following sections along with examples and associated implications.
+              

+                
 
-
Any change to Darwin Core terms or term declarations will result 
-in an update to the versioning information carried in the Darwin Core recommendation and/or 
-Darwin Core term declaration associated with that term. Specifically, a new version 
-of the term will be created with appropriate information in the Version, Replaces, and 
-DateModified attributes of the new term, and with the identifying version information of the 
-new term in the Is Replaced By attribute of the term being updated.
+                

+              
 
-
3.1. Minor editorial errata

+              
+                
 
-
Errors of spelling, punctuation, or other clerical mistakes discovered in Darwin Core recommendations and/or 
-Darwin Core term declarations will be corrected without a comment period, following notification to the TDWG 
-Architecture Group [TDWG-TAG], as long as, in 
-the judgment of the TDWG Architecture Group, there are no implications for negative impact on users or applications that rely 
-on those Darwin Core term declarations. Minor editorial changes of this type will result in no changes to Darwin 
-Core term URIs, will not undergo a request for comments, and will not result in a decision 
-[DECISIONS].
+                

+              
 
-
3.2. Substantive editorial errata

+              
+                
 
-
Errors of substance discovered in Darwin Core recommendations and/or Darwin Core 
-term declarations will trigger public notification of the correction to the Darwin Core mailing 
-list [TDWG-CONTENT]. 
-Errors that, in the judgment of the TDWG Architecture Group, compromise the immediate usefulness or 
-accuracy of systems based on Darwin Core will be corrected immediately (for example, an incorrect 
-URL to a resource external to Darwin Core). Others will be corrected following a 30-day public 
-comment period to assure that changes do not adversely effect systems or applications which rely on 
-the Darwin Core namespace infrastructure. Substantive editorial changes of this type will 
-result in no changes to Darwin Core term URIs, and will not result in a decision 
-[DECISIONS].
+                

+              
 
-
3.3. Semantic changes in Darwin Core terms

+              
+                
 
-
Changes of definitions within Darwin Core recommendations and/or Darwin Core term 
-declarations will be reflected in the affected Darwin Core recommendation and/or 
-Darwin Core term declaration. Semantic changes of this type will
-undergo a request for comments, and will result in a decision 
-[DECISIONS]. If, in the judgment of the TDWG Architecture Group, such 
-changes of meaning are likely to have substantial impact on either machine processing of 
-Darwin Core terms or the functional semantics of the terms, then these changes 
-will be reflected in a change of URI for the Darwin Core term or terms in question. 
-The URIs for any new Darwin Core namespaces resulting from such changes will conform to 
-the Darwin Core namespace URI pattern defined above. 
+                

+              
 
-
Requests for semantic changes to a term should be made to the Technical Architecture Group 
-[TDWG-TAG], and should consist of a complete list of attributes to be changed 
-along with a statement of justification for the changes.
+              

+

+                URIs that are assigned and managed by the Darwin Core Task
+                Group are grouped into collections known as Darwin Core

+        

 
-
New terms may be added to existing Darwin Core namespaces based on
-public demand. Addition of terms to existing Darwin Core namespaces will not trigger 
-changes in Darwin Core Namespace URIs. Additional term requests that have been determined by the Technical Architecture 
-Group to have merit will undergo a request for comments and will not result in a decision 
-[DECISIONS].
+  
1. Introduction
Audience: This document is targeted toward
+  those who want to make changes to the Darwin Core, either by refining terms
+  that already exist or by adding new terms to increase the capabilities of the
+  standard.
 
-
Requests for additional terms should be made to the Technical Architecture Group 
-[TDWG-TAG], and should consist of a complete list of
-attributes as given in the term definitions section of the Darwin Core Terms Complete History [HISTORY] along 
-with a statement of justification for the new term, including an explanation of why no existing term will suffice.
+  
This document and the policies contained herein are modeled on the
+  Dublin Core Metadata Initiative Namespace Policy [DCMINAMESPACEPOLICY].
+  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 Darwin Core namespaces. This document describes
+  the policies associated with Darwin Core namespaces and how term URIs are
+  allocated by the Darwin Core Task Group [DWC-TASK]. 

 
- 
-
4. Persistence Policy

-

-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.

The Darwin Core namespace URI for the collection of all Darwin Core
+  properties, classes, and encoding schemes is:

+  
+http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/
+

 
- 
- 
- 
+  
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:

+  
+http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName

+  
is the Darwin Core term identifier for the scientificName property,
+  while

+  
+http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/MachineObservation
+

+
+  
is the Darwin Core term identifier for the MachineObservation
+  class.

+
+  
All Darwin Core identifiers will dereference to a Darwin Core term
+  declaration for the identified term. 

+
+  
3. Term Change Policy

+
+  
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.

+
+  
Reporting issues: In all cases the proposed change should be
+  reported to the Technical Architecture Group [TDWG-TAG] and the outcome of the
+  proposal should be announced on the Darwin Core mailing list [TDWG-CONTENT].

+
+  
Decisions: In cases where an Executive decision is required,the
+  Technical Architecture Group will conduct a minimum 30-day public
+  comment period on the Darwin Core mailing list [TDWG-CONTENT],
+  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 Technical Architecture Group to the
+  Executive Committee for a decision [DECISIONS] within 30 days.

+
+  
Versions: In cases where a decision requires a version change, the
+  attributes Status (recommended, superseded, or deprecated), Date
+  Issued, Date Modified, Decision, Version,
+  Replaces, and Is Replaced By will be modified in the affected
+  terms as appropriate.

+
+  
3.1. Minor editorial errata

+
+  
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.

+
+  
3.2. Substantive editorial errata

+
+  
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).

+
+  
Otherwise, the Technical Architecture Group 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.

+
+  
3.3. Semantic changes to Darwin Core terms

+
+  
Darwin Core terms may be changed based on public demand and consensus. A
+  request to the Technical Architecture Group for a term change should
+  consist of proposed values for the complete list of attributes given in the
+  term definitions section of the Darwin Core Terms Complete History
+  [HISTORY] along with a statement of
+  justification for the change.

+
+  
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.

+
+  
3.4. Addition of Darwin Core terms

+
+  
New terms may be added to the Darwin Core namespaces based on public
+  demand and consensus. A request to the Technical Architecture Group
+  [TDWG-TAG] for a new term should
+  consist of proposed values for the complete list of attributes given in the
+  term definitions section of the Darwin Core Terms Complete History
+  [HISTORY] along with a statement of
+  justification for the new term, including an explanation of why no existing
+  term will suffice.

+
+  
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. 

+
+  
4. Persistence Policy

+
+  
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.

1. Introduction

-

-Audience: This document is targeted toward those who want to share biodiversity information using the simplest methods 
-and structure - the Simple Darwin Core. It explains the uses and limitations of this structure and how to expand upon it.
-

- 
-
1.1 What is Simple Darwin Core?

-The Simple Darwin Core is a predefined subset of the terms that have common use across a wide variety of biodiversity 
-applications. The terms used in the Simple Darwin Core are those that are found at the cross-section of taxonomic names, 
-places, and events that document biological occurrences on the planet. The two driving principles are simplicity and 
-flexibility.
+        
+          
Simple Darwin Core

 
- 
-
1.2 What makes it simple?

-The Simple Darwin Core is simple in that it assumes (and allows) no structure beyond the concept of rows and columns, 
-which might be thought of as attributes and their values, or fields and records. The words field and record will be 
-used throughout the rest of the document to refer to the two dimensions of the Simple Darwin Core structure. Think 
-of the term names as the field names. In other words, a Simple Darwin Core record could be captured in a spreadsheet 
-or in a single database table. 
+          
+            
+              
+                
 
- 
-
1.3 What makes it flexible?

-The Simple Darwin Core has minimal restrictions on which fields are required (none). 
-You might argue that there should be more required fields, that there isn't anything useful you can do without them. That 
-is partially true. A record with no fields in it wouldn't be very interesting, but there is a difference between 
-requiring that there be a field in a record and requiring that a particular field be in all records. 
-By having no required field restriction, the Simple Darwin Core can be used to share any 
-meaningful combination of fields - for example, to share "just names", or "just places", or
-observations of individuals detected in the wild at a given place and time following a method (an occurrence). This 
-flexibility promotes the reuse of the terms and sharing mechanisms for a wide variety of services.

1.4 Are there any rules?

-There are just a few general guiding principles on how to make the best use of the Simple Darwin Core:
-
    
-
  1. Any Darwin Core term name can be used as a field name.
    2. 
-
  2. No field name may be repeated in a record.
    3. 
-
  3. Do not use a Class (Occurrence, 
-Event, 
-MaterialSample, 
-Location, 
-GeologicalContext,
-Identification, 
-Taxon) as a field.
    4. 
-
  4. Provide data in as many fields as you can.
    5. 
-
  5. Use the dcterms:type field to say what Dublin Core type 
-(PhysicalObject, StillImage, MovingImage, Sound) the record represents, if possible.
    6. 
-
  6. Use the basisOfRecord field to say what Darwin Core type 
-(PreservedSpecimen, FossilSpecimen, LivingSpecimen, HumanObservation, MachineObservation, NomenclaturalChecklist, Taxon, Occurrence, MaterialSample, Location, Event) the record represents.
    7. 
-
  7. Populate fields with data that match the definition of the field.
    8. 
-
  8. Use the controlled vocabulary for the values of fields that recommend them.
    9. 
-
  9. If data are withheld, use informationWithheld to say so.
    10. 
-
  10. If data are shared in lower quality than the original, use dataGeneralizations 
-to say so.
    11. 
-

+              
+                
 
-Every field in the Simple Darwin Core may appear either once or not at all in a single record - 
-otherwise how could you distinguish one scientificName field from another one? Think of a database table. It
-will not allow you to have the same name for two different fields. Because of this design restriction (lack of flexibility 
-for the sake of simplicity), the auxiliary fields from the 
-ResourceRelationship and 
-MeasurementOrFact classes are of somewhat limited utility here - 
-you could only share one MeasurementOrFact and one ResourceRelationship per record. You might argue then that there 
-is no way to share information that requires related structures, such as a history of identifications of a specimen. 
-That is mostly true. The only recourse within the Simple Darwin Core is to force the data into one of the catch all 
-"list" terms such as
-dynamicProperties, 
-otherCatalogNumbers, 
-previousIdentifications,
-associatedMedia, 
-associatedReferences, 
-associatedOccurrences, 
-associatedSequences, 
-associatedTaxa, 
-higherGeography, 
-and 
-higherClassification.
-For cases where rich data require rich (non-simple) structure, the Simple Darwin Core is not suitable. Instead, use 
-a more capable structure such as the Access to Biological Collections Data schema 
-[ABCD], or the 
-Generic Darwin Core [GENERICXMLSCHEMA], or another schema built from the 
-Darwin Core terms to suit the use of the data in a particular context. See the Darwin Core XML Guide 
-[XMLSCHEMAGUIDE] for examples and 
-references to model schemas.
-

-There is a difference between
-having data in a field and requiring that field to have a value from among a legal set of values.
-The Darwin Core is simple in that it has minimal restrictions on the contents of fields. The term descriptions give 
-recommendations about the use of controlled vocabularies wherever appropriate. Data contributors are encouraged to 
-follow these recommendations as well as possible. You might argue that having no restrictions will promote "dirty"
-data (data of low quality or dubious value). Consider the simple axiom "It's not what you have, but what you do with 
-it that matters." If data restrictions were in place at the fundamental level, then 
-a record having any non-compliant data in any of its fields could not be shared via the standard. Not only would there be 
-a dearth of shared data in that case (or an unused standard), but also there would be no way to use the standard to 
-build shared data cleaning tools to actually improve the situation, nor to use data services to look up alternative 
-representations (language translations, for example) to serve a broader audience.  The rest is up to how the records 
-will be used - in other words, it is up to applications to enforce further restrictions if appropriate, and it is up 
-to the stakeholders of those applications to decide what the restrictions will be for the purpose the application is 
-trying to serve.

1.5 How do I use Simple Darwin Core?

-The Darwin Core is simple in that data "complying with" the Simple Darwin Core can be easily shared in a variety of
-ways, including, but not limited to, text files and xml documents. Equivalent ways of sharing the same data are described 
-in the sections Simple Darwin Core as Text and 
-Simple Darwin Core as XML.
-

-What you need to do as a contributor of data via the Simple Darwin Core depends on the requirements of the ones
-who are going to consume those data. For example, if you have a collaborator who wants to share data via the 
-Simple Darwin Core, then it may be sufficient to create a spreadsheet that contains column headers matching 
-as many of the Darwin Core term names as you are both interested in sharing - just to be sure you both understand 
-the meaning of the fields you share, and therefore hopefully something about their content. You might create a 
-table in a database using the Simple Darwin Core as 
-a model (if it met all of your needs), and then connect that database with services for sharing via the web. You 
-might use that same database (or spreadsheet) to export a comma-separated value (CSV) file for upload into a 
-hosted service that could serve the data on your behalf. Or you might use that same file to upload into a service
-that would allow you to add value (such as a georeference) or quality (with a data cleaning tool), or to see your 
-data in the context of other shared data.

1.5.1 Simple Darwin Core as Text

-The Text Guide [TEXTGUIDE] describes how to construct and format a text
-file using a simplified subset of the Fielded Text [FIELDEDTEXT] 
-specification, which allows the contributor to describe the contents of a text file, or set of text files (related 
-or not) through a separate configuration file (called a metafile). The metafile allows the contributor to communicate 
-the structure of the content of the file or files and any relationships between them. Though it is good practice to 
-describe a Simple Darwin Core file with such a metafile, it isn't strictly necessary if the file follows the 
-CSV file specification and the first line of the file contains the field names. A Fielded Text metafile for 
-any text file based on the Simple Darwin Core can be created by customizing the example metafile 
-[SIMPLEMETAFILE] (if this link shows a blank page 
-in your browser, use the View Source option to see the XML document), which includes references to all Darwin Core terms. 
-Refer to the comments in the file itself as well as the metafile specification in the Text Guide 
-[TEXTGUIDE] for more information.

1.5.2 Simple Darwin Core as XML

-The XML Guide [XMLSCHEMAGUIDE] describes how to construct XML schemas to share 
-data based on Darwin Core terms. Looking at the Simple Darwin Core XML Schema 
-[SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA] using the XML Guide as a reference
-you will be able to see that the schema supports the notion of a SimpleDarwinRecord, which is just a grouping of up 
-to one of each of the Darwin Core terms that are Properties (not Classes and not Type Vocabulary terms). The following example 
-shows a SimpleDarwinRecordSet containing one SimpleDarwinRecord for a Taxon:

1. Introduction

+
+  
Audience: This document is targeted toward those who want to share
+  biodiversity information using the simplest methods and structure - the
+  Simple Darwin Core. It explains the uses and limitations of this
+  structure and how to expand upon it.

+
+  

+
+  
1.1 What is Simple Darwin Core?
The Simple Darwin Core is a
+  predefined subset of the terms that have common use across a wide variety of
+  biodiversity applications. The terms used in the Simple Darwin Core
+  are those that are found at the cross-section of taxonomic names, places, and
+  events that document biological occurrences on the planet. The two driving
+  principles are simplicity and flexibility. 
+
+  
1.2 What makes it simple?
The Simple Darwin Core is simple in
+  that it assumes (and allows) no structure beyond the concept of rows and
+  columns, which might be thought of as attributes and their values, or fields
+  and records. The words field and record will be used throughout the rest of
+  the document to refer to the two dimensions of the Simple Darwin Core
+  structure. Think of the term names as the field names. In other words, a
+  Simple Darwin Core record could be captured in a spreadsheet or in a
+  single database table. 
+
+  
1.3 What makes it flexible?
The Simple Darwin Core has minimal
+  restrictions on which fields are required (none). You might argue that there
+  should be more required fields, that there isn't anything useful you can do
+  without them. That is partially true. A record with no fields in it wouldn't
+  be very interesting, but there is a difference between requiring that there
+  be a field in a record and requiring that a particular field be in all
+  records. By having no required field restriction, the Simple Darwin
+  Core can be used to share any meaningful combination of fields - for
+  example, to share "just names", or "just places", or observations of
+  individuals detected in the wild at a given place and time following a method
+  (an occurrence). This flexibility promotes the reuse of the terms and sharing
+  mechanisms for a wide variety of services.
+
+  

+
+  
1.4 Are there any rules?
There are just a few general guiding
+  principles on how to make the best use of the Simple Darwin Core:
+
+  
    
+    
  1. Any Darwin Core term name can be used as a field name.
    2. 
+
+    
  2. No field name may be repeated in a record.
    3. 
+
+    
  3. Do not use a Class (Occurrence, Organism, MaterialSample, LivingSpecimen, PreservedSpecimen, FossilSpecimen, Event, HumanObservation, MachineObservation, Location, GeologicalContext, Identification, Taxon) as a field.
+    
    4. 
+
+    
  4. Provide data in as many fields as you can.
    5. 
+
+    
  5. Use the dcterms:type field to
+    provide the name of the what Dublin Core type class(PhysicalObject,
+    StillImage, MovingImage, Sound, Text) the record represents.
+    
    6. 
+
+    
  6. Use the basisOfRecord field to
+    provide the name of the most specific Darwin Core class (LivingSpecimen,
+    PreservedSpecimen, FossilSpecimen, MaterialSample, HumanObservation,
+    MachineObservation, Event, Occurrence, Taxon, Identification, Organism,
+    Location, GeologicalContext, MeasurementOrFact, ResourceRelationship) the
+    record represents.
+    
    7. 
+
+    
  7. Populate fields with data that match the definition of the field.
    8. 
+
+    
  8. Use the controlled vocabulary for the values of fields that recommend
+    them.
    9. 
+
+    
  9. If data are withheld, use informationWithheld to say so.
+    
    10. 
+
+    
  10. If data are shared in lower quality than the original, use dataGeneralizations to say so.
+    
    11. 
+  
Every field in the Simple Darwin Core may appear either once or
+  not at all in a single record - otherwise how could you distinguish one
+  scientificName field from another
+  one? Think of a database table. It will not allow you to have the same name
+  for two different fields. Because of this design restriction (lack of
+  flexibility for the sake of simplicity), the auxiliary fields from the
+  MeasurementOrFact and ResourceRelationship classes are of
+  somewhat limited utility here - you could only share one MeasurementOrFact
+  and one ResourceRelationship per record. You might argue then that there is
+  no way to share information that requires related structures, such as a
+  history of identifications of a specimen. That is mostly true. The only
+  recourse within the Simple Darwin Core is to force the data into one
+  of the catch all "list" terms such as recordedBy, preparations, otherCatalogNumbers, associatedMedia, associatedReferences, associatedSequences, associatedTaxa, associatedOccurrences, associatedOrganisms, previousIdentifications, higherGeography, georeferencedBy, georeferenceSources, identifiedBy, identificationReferences, and
+  higherClassification.
+
+  
There is a difference between having data in a field and requiring that
+  field to have a value from among a legal set of values. The Darwin Core is
+  simple in that it has minimal restrictions on the contents of fields. The
+  term comments give recommendations about the use of controlled vocabularies
+  and how to structure content wherever appropriate. Data contributors are
+  encouraged to follow these recommendations as well as possible. You might
+  argue that having no restrictions will promote "dirty" data (data of low
+  quality or dubious value). Consider the simple axiom "It's not what you have,
+  but what you do with it that matters." If data restrictions were in place at
+  the fundamental level, then a record having any non-compliant data in any of
+  its fields could not be shared via the standard. Not only would there be a
+  dearth of shared data in that case (or an unused standard), but also there
+  would be no way to use the standard to build shared data cleaning tools to
+  actually improve the situation, nor to use data services to look up
+  alternative representations (language translations, for example) to serve a
+  broader audience. The rest is up to how the records will be used - in other
+  words, it is up to applications to enforce further restrictions if
+  appropriate, and it is up to the stakeholders of those applications to decide
+  what the restrictions will be for the purpose the application is trying to
+  serve.

1.5 How do I use Simple Darwin Core?
The Darwin Core is simple in
+  that data "complying with" the Simple Darwin Core can be easily shared
+  in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, text files and xml
+  documents. Equivalent ways of sharing the same data are described in the
+  sections Simple Darwin Core as Text and
+  Simple Darwin Core as XML.
+
+  
What you need to do as a contributor of data via the Simple Darwin
+  Core depends on the requirements of the ones who are going to consume
+  those data. For example, if you have a collaborator who wants to share data

1.5.1 Simple Darwin Core as Text
The Text Guide [TEXTGUIDE] describes how to construct and
+  format a text file using a simplified subset of the Fielded Text
+  [FIELDEDTEXT] specification, which
+  allows the contributor to describe the contents of a text file, or set of
+  text files (related or not) through a separate configuration file (called a
+  metafile). The metafile allows the contributor to communicate the structure
+  of the content of the file or files and any relationships between them.
+  Though it is good practice to describe a Simple Darwin Core file with
+  such a metafile, it isn't strictly necessary if the file follows the CSV file
+  specification and the first line of the file contains the field names. A
+  Fielded Text metafile for any text file based on the Simple Darwin
+  Core can be created by customizing the example metafile [SIMPLEMETAFILE]
+  (if this link shows a blank page in your browser, use the View Source option
+  to see the XML document), which includes references to all Darwin Core terms.
+  Refer to the comments in the file itself as well as the metafile
+  specification in the Text Guide [TEXTGUIDE] for more information. 
+
+  
1.5.2 Simple Darwin Core as XML
The XML Guide [XMLGUIDE] describes how to construct XML
+  schemas to share data based on Darwin Core terms. Looking at the Simple
+  Darwin Core XML Schema [SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA] using the XML
+  Guide as a reference you will be able to see that the schema supports the
+  notion of a SimpleDarwinRecord, which is just a grouping of up to one
+  of each of the Darwin Core terms that are Properties (not
+  Classes). The following example shows a SimpleDarwinRecordSet
+  containing one SimpleDarwinRecord for a Taxon:

-The SimpleDarwinRecord acts as a Class in
-implementation, because all of the terms belong to it. The Simple Darwin Core schema has just one other level of

1.6 Doing More with Simple Darwin Core

-Sooner or later you may want to share more information than the Simple Darwin Core seems to allow. For example, you
-and your colleagues might decide that it would be useful to have a standard way to exchange additional information relevant
-to questions in Conservation. How would you do it?
-

-One way would be to try to "overload" existing terms by using them to hold information other than what was intended
-based on the definition of the terms. Please don't do this. 
-If an existing term has close to the same meaning as one you want to use, but just doesn't quite fit because of the 
-way the definition is worded, it would be better to request an amendment to the term definition so that it will be 
-clear for your community how to use it. You can request such a change by submitting an issue 
-in the Darwin Core Project [DWC-PROJECT].
-

-Another way to get more out of the Darwin Core without adding a term is to "payload" the 
-dynamicProperties term as shown in the example below, to contain a list 
-of key-value pairs. The keys in this case would act as new unofficial terms. This is perfectly legal, since it doesn't 
-compromise the meaning of the term. Some of the weaknesses of payloading are that it is prone to errors, inconsistencies, 
-and lack of stable or well-defined semantics. Still, this might be a reasonable way to at least allow you to share all of 
-your data, even if there might be problems with people using it reliably.

+  to share more information than the Simple Darwin Core seems to allow.
+  For example, you and your colleagues might decide that it would be useful to
+  have a standard way to exchange additional information relevant to questions

+  You can request such a change by submitting an issue in the Darwin Core
+  Project [DWC-PROJECT].

+
+  
Another way to get more out of the Darwin Core without adding a term is to
+  "payload" the dynamicProperties
+  term with structured content, as shown in the example below, using Javascript
+  Open Notatation (JSON). This is perfectly legal, since it doesn't compromise
+  the meaning of the term. One of the weaknesses of payloading data in this way
+  is that it is subject to a lack of stable or well-defined semantics. Also, it
+  is highly recommended to flatten the content into a single string with no
+  non-printing characters (such as line feeds) to facilitate use in the widest
+  variety of data sharing contexts. Still, this might be a reasonable way to at
+  least allow you to share all of your data, even if there might be problems
+  with people using it reliably.

-If you were using just CSV text files to exchange information, then you might be tempted to just add the new fields 
-to the files. This approach suffers most of the same problems as payloading - no one aside from those with whom you 
-communicated would know what those new fields were or how to use them. Sharing in this way via XML would be an even 
-bigger problem, because the Simple Darwin Core XML Schema [SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA] 
-defines the terms that it supports and the new fields would not correspond with any terms understood by the schema. 
-In other words, the XML with your fields in it would not be a valid Simple Darwin Core XML document. 
-

-So, if you really need to extend the capabilities of the Darwin Core, the best first step is to follow the standards 
-process to add the terms you need. The mechanisms for pursuing this are explained in the Darwin Core Namespace Policy 
-[NAMESPACEPOLICY]. The process will help to assure that the new terms are well 
-conceived, that they don't conflict with existing terms, and that they are properly defined in the broader context
-of biological diversity information.

+  because the Simple Darwin Core XML Schema [SIMPLEXMLSCHEMA] defines the terms that
+  it supports and the new fields would not correspond with any terms understood
+  by the schema. In other words, the XML with your fields in it would not be a
+  valid Simple Darwin Core XML document.

 
- 
- 
- 
+  
So, if you really need to extend the capabilities of Darwin Core, the best
+  first step is to follow the standards process to add the terms you need. The
+  mechanisms for pursuing this are explained in the Darwin Core Namespace
+  Policy [NAMESPACEPOLICY]. The
+  process will help to assure that the new terms are well conceived, that they
+  don't conflict with existing terms, and that they are properly defined in the
+  broader context of biological diversity information.

1.7 Going Beyond Simple Darwin Core

+
+  
For cases where rich data require rich (non-simple) structure, the
+  Simple Darwin Core alone is not suitable. When sharing information via
+  fielded text [FIELDEDTEXT], the
+  solution is to use the Simple Darwin Core as a core record with one or
+  more associated extensions for the additional information. See the Darwin
+  Core Text Guide [TEXTGUIDE]
+  for an explanation and examples.

+
+  
When sharing information via XML [XML], a richer structure such as the Access
+  to Biological Collections Data schema [ABCD], or the Generic Darwin
+  Core [GENERICXMLSCHEMA], or
+  another schema built from the Darwin Core terms to suit the use of the data
+  in a particular context. See the Darwin Core XML Guide [XMLGUIDE] for examples and references to model
+  schemas.

Title:Darwin Core Type Vocabulary
Date Issued:2009-02-12
Date Modified:2013-10-22
Abstract:The Darwin Core Type Vocabulary extends the DCMI Type Vocabulary and provides a list of approved values that 
-may be used for the basisOfRecord term to identify the specific type of a resource. The terms documented here are 
-also included in the more comprehensive document 
-Darwin Core Terms: A complete history, see [HISTORY].

1. Introduction

-Audience: This document is targeted toward those who need a reference (lists and definitions) to the essential information 
-about the recommended values of the basisOfRecord Darwin Core term.
-

-The Type Vocabulary is a recommended set of values to use for the basisOfRecord term 
-to categorize Darwin Core resources. The Darwin Core Type Vocabulary extends and refines terms from the 
-Dublin Core Type Vocabulary [DCMI-TYPE] to describe and 
-categorize resources more specifically for biodiversity applications. The basisOfRecord should be populated with 
-the value from the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary that best corresponds to the resource being shared.
