Darwin Core
The Darwin Core is a content specification designed for data about the geographical occurences of species (i.e. the observation or collection of a particular species or other taxonomic group at a particular location).
The Darwin Core is a metadata specification for information about the geographic occurrence of species and the existence of specimens in collections. It is used by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility. It has a wiki site and a Task Group within Biodiversity Information Standards.
