Darwin Core

Darwin Core is a standardized framework used by scientists to share information about living organisms, such as plants and animals. It provides a common format for describing where, when, and how specimens or observations are collected, including details like species name, location, and date. This consistency enables researchers and organizations worldwide to exchange and compare biodiversity data efficiently, supporting conservation, study, and understanding of the natural world. Essentially, Darwin Core acts as a common language that makes biodiversity information accessible and usable across different databases and research efforts.
