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,
