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:descriptionfoliis subhirsutis, ovato lanceolatis, acute serratis, peiolis florigeris ramosis, folia superantibus.</hllr:description> hllr:keywordWegränder</hllr:keyword> hllr:keywordGebüsch</hllr:keyword> hllr:keywordfelsig</hllr:keyword> hllr:frequencyverbreitet</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,
