<p>Hi,</p></div>
<div>
<div></div>
<div class="Wj3C7c">
<div>
<p>Is there a way to request from a tapir data provider which optional elements of the darwin core schema are actually implemented by the provider in question. I mean, if I understood correctly only a small subset of the Darwin Core are required (GlobalUniqueIdentifier,DateLastModified,BasisOfRecord,InstitutionCode,CollectionCode,CatalogNumber,ScientificName). It would be nice to know what optional elments a given provider implements before formulating a search request to that provider (for instance, whether information defined in the IslandGroup element is available).</p>
</div>
<p>The metadata response does not provide this information, I think.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
<p> </p>
