Audubon Core Non Normative Document
This is a non-normative document
The non-normative documents cited below give 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.
See also the normative Audubon Core introduction and the associated normative Audubon Core Term List.
