Title: Audubon Core Non Normative Document

Date: October 30, 2013

Abstract: The Audubon Core is a set of vocabularies designed to represent metadata for biodiversity multimedia resources and collections. These vocabularies aim to represent information that will help to determine whether a particular resource or collection will be fit for some particular biodiversity science application before acquiring the media. Among others, the vocabularies address such concerns as the management of the media and collections, descriptions of their content, their taxonomic, geographic, and temporal coverage, and the appropriate ways to retrieve, attribute and reproduce them. This page is a history of a non-normative description of the Audubon Core specification. Most readers will be interested only in the latest version.

This document contains material introductory to the Audubon Core Term List

Part of TDWG Standard: Audubon Core

Document Status: This document is a TDWG Type 3 Non Normative Document.

The non-normative document cited below gives a description of the Audubon Core (formerly "MRTG" for the acronym of its creation team, the TDWG/GBIF Multimedia Resources metadata Task Group) representation-neutral format. The non-normative document is the best introduction to the purpose, architecture, and history of the Audubon Core effort to propose a multimedia resource metadata architecture suitable for biodiversity media. It is intended to argue for the need, and explain how the Audubon Core uses other metadata terminology wherever possible. In addition, please see the Task Group's Initial Recommendations to GBIF, one of which was to produce a metadata schema, under the rationale set out in further detail in the non-normative document.

Audubon Core Per GBIF Term_Wiki presents an interesting view on the Audubon Core from the perspective of the GBIF Terminology Platform.
