ABSTRACT.
In this third chapter in the Darwin Core Hour series we will visit some 
of the most colorful Darwin Core terms for which the use of *controlled 
vocabularies* is recommended. First, as a follow up to Chapter 2, we 
will expose the current content of particular terms as they are 
published right now via different aggregators. Second, we will try to 
disentangle the reasons, purposes and chances that lead us to observe 
this diversity of values in such fields. Then, we will explore the 
current availability of controlled vocabularies in different disciplines 
within our community and the initiatives that are addressing the problem 
from different perspectives. Finally, we will try to understand if there 
is actually a pot at the end of the rainbow: can we come up with solid, 
community-built controlled vocabularies?

 4. Here's a list of terms for which DwC recommends use of a controlled
    vocabulary - note many are in the Location class.

 5. See what's inside some of the dwc fields that suggest using a
    controlled vocabulary (data from GBIF, iDigBio, VertNet, and soon
    ALA): https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_tdwg_dwc-2Dqa_tree_master_data&d=DwIDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=YoUhgv7-soUvtZHSV-sx4BT22l7kW7Zl61uc8s1l4pA&s=mQ1elo8t5NhcW6ADJcxeI3LK8zyST8KPCagvc0rfeuM&e= 
 6. Future DwC Hour webinars coming up feature discussions about how new
