Chapter Abstract<br>
In this 2nd chapter of the Darwin Core Hour series, we will glance
at the list of Darwin Core terms that are recommended to be
populated with values from controlled vocabularies. From that list
we’ll look at some basic terms (e.g., dcterms:type,
dwc:basisOfRecord, etc.) for which there are clearly recommended
controlled vocabularies.<br>
<br>

We will explore how controlled vocabularies are used in practice and
how usage differs from the recommendations. We’ll discuss what the
consequences might be of not following <b>controlled vocabularies</b>,
and the converse - what the consequences might be of doing so. We’ll
look at some of the secrets of how aggregators deal with the problem
and the lessons we can learn from them. Finally, we will review
questions that have been submitted related to this particular
subject and open the webinar for further discussion.<br>
