Animal Camera Trap data and Darwin Core: Thoughts?
Dear TDWG group,
I am working with some folks on building an animal camera trap data repository. We are seriously looking at Darwin Core as the basis of the metadata model for the information regarding these images and animals caught on camera.
Do you know of any Camera Trapping or other similar style data collection program that is using Darwin Core? Do you have any suggestions on the pro's and con's of using Darwin Core for such a project?
Feel free to email me directly.
Thank you,
Suzanne

Let's talk. I'm working on an open source mark-recapture data management project (Darwin Core-based), specifically related to photo-id and computer-assisted identification. Alpha 2 version is at:

http://www.keytonature.eu/wiki/MRTG_v1.0 is nearing the end of the TDWG submission process as a proposed multimedia metadata standard. It will be branded as the Audubon Core after it goes through public comment and the approval of the TDWG Executive Committee. Much of it uses the DarwinCore where the metadata describes biotic content or georeferences.
