1. Introduction
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]) 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 index in Version Comparison section.
