1. Introduction

This page contains detailed historical information about the Darwin Core terms and standard. You may want to consider consulting one of the following pages if you have other specific interests:

• Darwin Core Terms - current term definitions
• Normative Darwin Core - authoritative specification of the standard in RDF
• Darwin Core Versions - pre-standard versions of Darwin Core
• Mapping to ABCD - relationship of terms to ABCD 2.06

2. History of Darwin Core

Darwin Core was developed as a standard under the Darwin Core Task Group following the standards process of Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG).

Following is the timeline for the Darwin Core ratification process:

• 14 Feb 2009 - The standard was submitted to the TDWG Executive Committee.
• 17 Feb 2009 - Gail Kampmeier accepted role as Review Manager.
• 11 Apr 2009 - Peer Review submitted to Darwin Core Task Group.
• 01 May 2009 - Revisions made and comments submitted to Review Manager.
• 13 May 2009 - Additional recommendations provided by the Review Manager.
• 24 May 2009 - Revisions made and new version committed to standards track.
• 29 May 2009 - Revisions accepted and draft standard forwarded for review by the TDWG Executive Committee.
• 29 Jun 2009 - Executive Review submitted to Darwin Core Task Group with recommendation to accept for Public Review with revisions.
• 08 Jul 2009 - Revisions made and new version committed to standards track.
• 11 Jul 2009 - Proposed standard announced for public review.
• 10 Aug 2009 - Earliest possible date for the close of public review.
• 23 Sep 2009 - Public Review closed, response version published.
• 08 Oct 2009 - Standard ratified by TDWG Executive Committee.

Public review was conducted and archived on the tdwg-content mailing list (tdwg-content@lists.tdwg.org) from 11 July through 23 Sep 2009.

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.

3. Term History

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

Following is the complete list of term attributes and their definitions:

Term name

The name by which the latest version of the term is commonly known.

Identifier

Refines

The name of a term of which this term is a refined (more specialized) version.

Status

The status of the term - deprecated (not recommended for use), superseded (not recommended for use - replaced by 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.

Class

The primary category of terms (Class) that this term describes.

ABCD 2.06

The xpath(s) to the equivalent concept(s) in the Access to Biological Collections Data schema version 2.06.

FootprintSpatialFit
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).

footprintSpatialFit
Identifier	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/footprintSpatialFit
Namespace	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/
Label	Footprint Spatial Fit
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.
Comment	Detailed explanations with graphical examples can be found in the "Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing", Chapman and Wieczorek, eds. 2006. For discussion see http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/dwc:footprintSpatialFit

footprintSRS
Identifier	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/footprintSRS
Namespace	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/
Label	Footprint SRS
Definition	A Well-Known Text (WKT) representation of the Spatial Reference System (SRS) for the footprintWKT of the Location. Do not use this term to describe the SRS of the decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude, even if it is the same as for the footprintWKT - use the geodeticDatum instead.
Comment	Example: The WKT for the standard WGS84 SRS (EPSG:4326) is "GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]" without the enclosing quotes.

FootprintWKT
Identifier	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/FootprintWKT

Label	Footprint WKT
Definition	A Well-Known Text (WKT; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text) representation of the the shape (footprint, geometry) that defines the location of the occurrence. The same place may have both a point-radius representation (see DecimalLatitude) and a footprint representation, and they may differ from each other for the same occurrence. Example: the one-degree bounding box with opposite corners at (longitude=10, latitude=20) and (longitude=11, latitude=21) would be expressed in well-known text as POLYGON ((10 20, 11 20, 11 21, 10 21, 10 20))

PointRadiusSpatialFit
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).

Label	Previous Catalog Number
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.

Identifier	http://digir.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/2003/1.0/StateProvince
Namespace	http://digir.net/schema/conceptual/darwin/2003/1.0/
Label	State Province
Definition	The state, province or region (i.e. next political region smaller than Country) from which the specimen was collected. 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. Note: this is a recurring theme (country and state) abbreviations. Check the existence of an attribute type to deal with abbreviations from the bib-1 profile

Label	Verbatim SRS
Definition	The ellipsoid, geodetic datum, or spatial reference system (SRS) upon which coordinates given in verbatimLatitude and verbatimLongitude, or verbatimCoordinates are based. Recommended best practice is use the EPSG code as a controlled vocabulary to provide an SRS, if known. Otherwise use a controlled vocabulary for the name or code of the geodetic datum, if known. Otherwise use a controlled vocabulary for the name or code of the ellipsoid, if known. If none of these is known, use the value "unknown".
Comment	Examples: "EPSG:4326", "WGS84", "NAD27", "Campo Inchauspe", "European 1950", "Clarke 1866". For discussion see http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/dwc:verbatimSRS
