<p>I am new to the Darwin Core World, so I apologize in advance if I am missing any basics. </p>
<p>I am working on a project that aims to describe plants according to Haller. We are using DwC to encode information with XML; however, I am missing the following elements: </p>
<ul>
<li><p>an element to store small descriptions of plants;</p></li>
<li><p>an element to store the place where plants may be found — by that I am not meaning the actual location where the plant was identified but its habitat in general terms. </p></li>
<li><p>an element to store the frequency of the plant, in other words, if it is common or not. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>I am currently using my own terms to store this information: </p>
<pre><code><hllr:addition>
<hllr:description>foliis subhirsutis, ovato lanceolatis, acute serratis, peiolis
florigeris ramosis, folia superantibus.</hllr:description>
<hllr:keyword>Wegränder</hllr:keyword>
<hllr:keyword>Gebüsch</hllr:keyword>
<hllr:keyword>felsig</hllr:keyword>
<hllr:frequency>verbreitet</hllr:frequency>
</hllr:addition>
</code></pre>
<p>I am wondering whether I could store that information in DwC tags instead — or should I be using Dublin Core tags to describe this kind of information?</p>
<p>Many thanks.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
