<H2>1. Term Index</H2>
<b>Audience</b>: This document is targeted toward those who need a reference (lists and definitions) to the essential information
about the current recommended Darwin Core terms.
<P>
This quick guide provides a list of all current terms of the Darwin core. The terms are
organized by categories (in bold) in the index. The categories correspond to Darwin Core terms that are
classes (terms that have other terms to describe them). The terms that describe a given class
(the class properties) appear in the list immediately below the name of the category in the index. The index provides
links to the term descriptions in the table below the index.
<P>
Names that begin with <i>dcterms:</i> are terms managed by the <i>Dublin Core Metadata Initiative</i>
[<a href="http://dublincore.org/">DCMI</a>], which are reproduced here and which may include a description and
comments adapted for the biodiversity community. The original definition of such terms can be found by following the link
given in the <i>Details</i> section for the term.
<P>
Terms under the <i>Record-level Terms</i> section apply to the whole record regardless of the record type. For example, a record for a
camera trap bird sighting would fall into the Dublin Core <i>dcterms:type</i> category <i>StillImage</i> and at the same time into the
Darwin Core <i>basisOfRecord</i> category <i>MachineObservation</i> - a particular type of <i>Occurrence</i>, so the value of
<i>dcterms:type</i> term for the record would be "StillImage" and the value of the <i>basisOfRecord</i> term would be
"MachineObservation" to show which kind of <i>Occurrence</i> record it is. All of the rest of the record-level terms would apply
to the <i>Occurrence</i> record.
<P>
<P>The terms found under the <i>Auxiliary Terms</i> section
can only be meaningfully implemented in an application that supports relational
structures. For example, none of the auxiliary terms will be found in the specification of the <i>Simple Darwin
Core</i> [<A href="./simple/index.htm">SIMPLEDWC</A>], which is "flat" in structure.
