Hi Kim I’d expect the following: DC terms: http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/2008/02/11/dcterms.xsd DC elements: http://dublincore.org/schemas/xmls/qdc/dc.xsd Where are you finding your Darwin Core xsd please? I hope this helps, Tim From: tdwg-content <tdwg-content-bounces@lists.tdwg.org> on behalf of Kim Mortimer <K.Mortimer@dal.ca> Date: Thursday, 20 September 2018 at 21.54 To: "tdwg-content@lists.tdwg.org" <tdwg-content@lists.tdwg.org> Subject: [tdwg-content] Darwin Core classes and dcterms:location Hi there, I am working on a profile of Darwin Core for a metadata repository, and am trying to add mandatory elements to the location class. However, because it is a Dublin Core class, the Darwin Core xsd points me to a file titled "dublin_core.xsd". I cannot seem to find this file, despite digging through what I can find of available Dublin Core xsd files. Although I'm not the most technical, I also believe this will be necessary for adding these changes to our repository (based on GeoNetwork). I was wondering whether someone could send this file to me or otherwise point me in the correct direction? Thanks very much, Kim Mortimer [mage removed by sender.
