The temporality of specimens is a quintessential piece of
information that undeniably adds research value. Part of what
makes specimens so invaluable is the fact that they represent life
in a certain form at a particular place and time. However, there
are some complications when it comes to reporting and comparing
collection dates and the ages or chronology of ‘modern’ specimens
to those from paleontological or zooarchaeological relevant time
frames. This Darwin Core Hour aims to take a deeper look at some
of these complexities, to begin community discussions of how these
important data should be portrayed in Darwin Core, and to provide
a starting point for these discussions by introducing the
Chronometric extension for Darwin Core that is currently under
development.<br>
<br>
However, there are some complications when it comes to reporting
the collecting dates versus the ages or chronology of ‘modern’,
paleontological, and zooarchaeological specimens, as well as
making meaningful comparisons across represented time frames
(e.g., modern, archaeological, paleontological).<br>
