[tdwg-content] Animal Camera Trap data and Darwin Core: Thoughts?

[Bob Morris]

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.
