3. The Terms

1. Introduction

This document contains information for all terms associated with the Darwin Core, including historical versions (Classic, MaNIS, OBIS, Curatorial extension, Geospatial extension) prior to having a standard and more recent versions developed under the Darwin Core Task Group since October 2008. 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 information on recommended terms.

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 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 are contained in this document.

Note that Darwin Core term names, URIs, and Version names use CamelCase regardless of whether the term is a class or a property following a history of such usage and in order to minimize confusion and any other adverse impacts of following the standard convention of using lowerCamelCase names for properties and CamelCase for names of classes.

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

Term Name:	The name by which the term is identified, unique within the term's namespace.
URI:	The Universal Resource Identifier by which the term is identified.
Namespace:	The Darwin Core Namespace within which the term is defined.
Label:	The label for the term.
Definition:	The definition of the term.
Comment:	Commentary about the usage of the term.
Type of Term:	The term type - property, class, vocabulary encoding scheme, or datatype (syntax encoding scheme).
Refines:	The term for which this term is a refinement.
Status:	The status of the term - historical (prior to the standard), superceded (updated with a replacement since the standard first went into effect), or recommended.
Date Issued:	Date on which the term was first published.
Date Modified:	Date on which the term description was subsequently modified.
Member Of:	The Class of which this term is a member.
Has Domain:	A Class of which a resource described by the term is an Instance.
Has Range:	A Class of which a value described by the term is an Instance.
Decision:	The reference to the discussion associated with the decision that resulted in the current version of the term
Version:	The name for the specific version of the term.
Replaces:	The version name of the preceding historical description of the term.
Is Replaced By:	The version name of the subsequent description of the term.
ABCD 2.06:	The xpath(s) to the equivalent concept(s) in the Access to Biological Collections Data schema version 2.06.

URI:	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/FootprintSpatialFit
Namespace:	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/
Label:	FootprintSpatialFit
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 sampling 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.

Term Name: PointRadiusSpatialFit
URI:	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/PointRadiusSpatialFit
Namespace:	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/geospatial/
Label:	PointRadiusSpatialFit
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 sampling 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.

Label:	PreviousCatalogNumber
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.

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:	StateProvince
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
