<h2>1. Introduction</h2>
|
|
<p>From time to time changes are proposed to Darwin Core terms through the process described in the Term Change Policy section of the <em>Darwin Core Namespace Policy</em> [<a href= "../change_policy.html">NAMESPACEPOLICY</a>]. This document shows the outcome of decisions based on officially proposed changes.</p>
