Hi folks,

 

Just starting to get into Darwin Core. Thanks for any help and suggestions you can provide.

 

I’m the builder of a data capture application (using PDAs and smart phones) called CyberTracker (http://www.cybertracker.org). We want to create a feature to export to Simple Darwin Core as XML.

 

We have two kinds of data: timer tracks and sightings. Timer tracks are automatically snapped at regular intervals and only contain a timestamp and location. Sightings are manually captured data and vary quite a bit. For example, they could represent the weather or a direct sighting of an animal.

 

It seems clear that a sighting maps directly to an “Event”.

 

If we have a long list of timer track points, should these show up as many “Location” records?

 

Regards,

-Justin
