<br>
We would need a term to store the name of the person who has
digitised a sample. The current Darwin Core does not seem to
include such term. Dublin Core's "creator" is what we'd use.<br>
<br>
I wonder why not all of the Dublin Core's 15 basic terms are
included in Darwin Core terms web page, but just a subset of them,
which subset seems to be somewhat random to me?<br>
<br>
We could also use the DC term "contributor" or something for
someone who has proof-read the digitisation result.<br>
<br>
I understand that nothing breaks if we use dc:creator because the
Dublin Core schema loads it along with other elements. But
because of this omission some applications like GBIF IPT omit it
from their mapping capabilities, which is a problem.<br>
<br>
Your advise is sppreaciated, Hannu</font><br>
