Hi list,
this is my first e-mail in a list like this so hope I'm doing it right at the right place :)
I'm developing a web application about orchids observations from users and would like to allow them to download the observation (or a group of them) in Simple Darwin Core formatted as XML.
I've been reading a useful guide in http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/simple/index.htm and have written my PHP generator but I'm still having some questions regarding to the use of it.
1.- I guess I should use Occurrence in dc:type 2.- Can I add any taxonomical information even if its an Occurrence? I think I can and in fact I should, as in the guide says: "Support (provide data in) as many fields as you can.".
So, with this facts, is this a correct Simple Darwin Core xml file? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SimpleDarwinRecordSet xmlns="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/dwcrecord/" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:dwc="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/dwcrecord/ http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/xsd/tdwg_dwc_simple.xsd"> <SimpleDarwinRecord> dctype:typeOcurrence</dc:type> dcterms:modified2009-08-03</dcterms:modified> dcterms:languagees</dcterms:language> dcterms:rightsContenido bajo licencia Creative Commons 3.0</dcterms:rights> dcterms:rightsHolderAsociación Ibérica de Orquideología</dcterms:rightsHolder> dcterms:accessRightsPara uso no comercial únicamente</dcterms:accessRights> dwc:institutionIDNIF AIO: XXXXXXX</dwc:institutionID> dwc:institutionCodeAIO</dwc:institutionCode> dwc:basisOfRecordHumanObservation</dwc:basisOfRecord> dwc:informationWithheldConsultar a la Asociación Ibérica de Orquideología para más detalles acerca de la observación</dwc:informationWithheld> dwc:dataGeneralizationsLa información mostrada se muestra con una imprecisión variable de 11 metros a 11 kilómetros.
