The Darwin Core extension for genebanks opens up new opportunities for sharing genebank datasets
Biodiversity Informatics, 2012 Darwin Core (DwC) defines a standard set of terms to describe the primary biodiversity data. Primary biodiversity data are data records derived from direct observation of species occurrences in nature or describing specimens in biological collections. The Darwin Core terms can be seen as an extension to the standard Dublin Core metadata terms.
