1 Introduction (Informative)

This document contains terms that are part of the most recent version of the Darwin Core vocabulary (http://rs.tdwg.org/version/dwc/2020-08-12).

This document includes terms in four namespaces that contain recommended terms: dwc:, dwciri:, dc:, and dcterms:. However, some terms in these namespaces are deprecated and should no longer be used. Deprecation is noted in the term metadata. Namespaces that contain only deprecated terms are not included in this document, but metadata about those terms can be retrieved by dereferencing their IRIs.

For a simplified list that contains only the currently recommended terms, see the Darwin Core Quick Reference Guide.

1.1 Status of the content of this document

Sections 1 and 3 are non-normative.

Section 2 is normative.

In Section 4, the values of the Term IRI and Definition are normative. The values of Term Name are non-normative, although one can expect that the namespace abbreviation prefix is one commonly used for the term namespace. Label and the values of all other properties (such as Examples and Notes) are non-normative.

1.2 RFC 2119 key words

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

1.3 Namespace abbreviations

The following namespace abbreviations are used in this document:

abbreviation	IRI
dwc:	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/
dwciri:	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/iri/
dc:	http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/
dcterms:	http://purl.org/dc/terms/

2 Use of Terms

Due to the requirements of Section 1.4.3 of the Darwin Core RDF Guide, terms in the dwciri: namespace MUST be used with IRI values. Terms in the dwc: and dc: namespaces are generally expected to have string literal values. Values for terms in the dcterms: namespace will depend on the details of the term. See Section 3 of the Darwin Core RDF Guide for details.

Term Name dwc:footprintSpatialFit
Term IRI	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/footprintSpatialFit
Modified	2017-10-06
Term version IRI	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/version/footprintSpatialFit-2017-10-06
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.
