<h2>2. History of Darwin Core</h2>
Darwin Core was developed as a standard under the <a href="http://www.tdwg.org/activities/darwincore/">Darwin Core Task Group</a> following the <a href="http://www.tdwg.org/about-tdwg/process/">standards process</a> of <a href="http://www.tdwg.org/">Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG)</a>.

### Changes from previous versions
The Standard Darwin Core differs from previous versions in several important ways.
* The primary purpose of the standard is more open to biological data of all kinds than previous versions, whose scope was limited to biological occurrence and biased toward specimen data.
* The foundation of the standard is a list of reusable concepts (called terms) rather than just a set of XML schemas. The list is maintained in its canonical form in rdf (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/rdf/dwcterms.rdf). The remainder of the standard consists of documentation about the terms, their maintenance, their use in applications, and the mechanisms for extending the Darwin Core, as well as a number of functional and example application profiles.
* The list of terms consists of those derived from previous versions of the Darwin Core XML schemas (including OBIS and the Curatorial, Geospatial, and Paleontology extensions), as well as terms recommended for use by the Observations, Animal Movement, Crop Wild Relatives, Genetic Resources, and Sensitive Data groups. In the making of this list and the crafting of the term definitions, care was taken to address concerns arising in discussion groups, mailing lists, and wiki commentary since the inception of the first proposed Darwin Core XML schema.
