[Nhcoll-l] cited and figured fossils

Fri Jan 29 04:28:30 EST 2021

Dear Maria,

adding to Andy's reply pointing you to the Darwin Core schema, I found 
it helpful to look at the structure of the related "Access to Biological 
Collection Data" (ABCD) schema.
https://www.tdwg.org/standards/abcd/

It's hierarchical structure helps me to understand, which fields are 
associated with a specific topic, eg. the identification of a specimen, 
its citations, as Tom Schiøtte differentiated or also the taxonomy of 
its name.

For this, I find working with this list the easiest:
https://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/ABCD_2_XPath_to_Short_Name_Mapping
It directly provides you with the links to the definitions of the fields.

See for example the sets of fields associated with :
/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/UnitReferences
(for storing information about publications that cited the record) and
/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications
with TaxonIdentified (taxonomic information, including type information) 
and Identifiers (the person who id'ed the specimen).

Currently the ABCD standard is between versions. The new version, ABCD 
3.0, already exists, though has not been ratified yet, as far as I 
understand. Thus, when you are interested in specific fields, you might 
want to check if they have been modified in the new version here:
https://abcd.tdwg.org/xml/documentation/changes/

Best wishes,
