Dear list, I am new to the Darwin Core World, so I apologize in advance if I am missing any basics. I am working on a project that aims to describe plants according to Haller. We are using DwC to encode information with XML; however, I am missing the following elements: - an element to store small descriptions of plants; - an element to store the place where plants may be found — by that I am not meaning the actual location where the plant was identified but its habitat in general terms. - an element to store the frequency of the plant, in other words, if it is common or not. I am currently using my own terms to store this information: <hllr:addition> <hllr:description>foliis subhirsutis, ovato lanceolatis, acute serratis, peiolis florigeris ramosis, folia superantibus.</hllr:description> <hllr:keyword>Wegränder</hllr:keyword> <hllr:keyword>Gebüsch</hllr:keyword> <hllr:keyword>felsig</hllr:keyword> <hllr:frequency>verbreitet</hllr:frequency> </hllr:addition> I am wondering whether I could store that information in DwC tags instead — or should I be using Dublin Core tags to describe this kind of information? Many thanks. Best, -- Dr. Antonio Rojas Castro Research assistant, Cologne Center for eHumanities Communication coordinator, EADH <http://www.antoniorojascastro.com>
