Hi,
Following the Darwin Core Term Change Policy
(http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/namespace/index.htm#classesofchanges), I
am hereby submitting a request for the addition of a new Darwin Core
term: georeferencedDate.
I've also submitted this request as an issue on the Darwin Core Google
Code site: http://code.google.com/p/darwincore/issues/detail?id=104
Term Name: georeferencedDate
Identifier: http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/georeferencedDate
Namespace: http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/
Label: georeferencedDate
Definition: The date on which the georeference of the Location was
determined. Recommended best practice is to use an encoding scheme,
such as ISO 8601:2004(E).
Comment: Example: "2011-03-01T13:59-0500" is 1 Mar 2011 1:59pm in the
time zone five hours earlier than UTC.
Type of Term: http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#Property
Refines: http://purl.org/dc/terms/date
Status:

Class: http://purl.org/dc/terms/Location
ABCD 2.06: not in ABCD
Submitter: Peter Desmet
Justification: A georeferencing date allows chronological sorting of
multiple georeferences for one location, identification of the most
recent georeference, etc. This term is already used at georeferencing
workshops (based on the GBIF 2006 Guide to best practices for
georeferencing) and in numerous collection databases. It will also
become one of the outputs of the new BioGeomancer.
It's justification is similar to the one for dateIdentified.
The term could be called "dateGeoreferenced" (cf. "dateIdentified"),
"georeferenceDate" (cf. "georeferenceProtocol" and "eventDate") or
"georeferencedDate" (cf. "georeferencedBy").
Thank you for reviewing this request.
Peter

The reason behind choosing the name Audubon Core was not just the subject matter (eco covers just
about everything we do with biodiversity), but it salutes a very famous and prolific illustrator and
publicizer of natural history illustrations. The thought followed the tribute to Darwin in the Darwin Core.
The name Audubon should pop up prominently and provide the opportunity for a nice story in tribute for
this standard for sharing "biodiversity multimedia resources and collections."
