The value of `Usage` (if it exists for a given term) is normative. The values of `Term Name` are non-normative, although one can expect that the namespace abbreviation prefix is one commonly used for the term namespace. `Label` and the values of all other properties are non-normative. + +### 1.2 RFC 2119 key words +The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119). + +## 2 Use of Terms + +### 2.1 Relationship of value types to property terms + +In accordance with [the Audubon Core Term List document](http://rs.tdwg.org/ac/doc/termlist/), unabbreviated term IRIs SHOULD be used as values of the property `ac:subtype`. Controlled value strings SHOULD be used as values of the property `ac:subtypeLiteral`. + +### 2.2 Relationship between values of ac:subtypeLiteral and ac:subtype + +An IRI for a term in this vocabulary denotes the same class as the class denoted by the controlled value string for the same term. Thus a client MAY infer an IRI value for `ac:subtype` given a controlled value string for `ac:subtypeLiteral` even if that IRI is not explicitly stated. The practical implication is that data aggregators MAY materialize values for the preferred `ac:subtype` property in cases where providers only provide values for `ac:subtypeLiteral`. + +## 3 Term index + + +[Animation](#acsubtype_Animation) | +[Design Plan](#acsubtype_DesignPlan) | +[Diagram](#acsubtype_Diagram) | +[Drawing](#acsubtype_Drawing) | +[Film](#acsubtype_Film) | +[Glossary Page](#acsubtype_GlossaryPage) | +[Graphic](#acsubtype_Graphic) | +[Icon](#acsubtype_Icon) | +[Identification Key](#acsubtype_IdentificationKey) | +[Illustration](#acsubtype_Illustration) | +[Logo](#acsubtype_Logo) | +[Map](#acsubtype_Map) | +[Multimedia Learning Object](#acsubtype_MultimediaLearningObject) | +[Musical Notation](#acsubtype_MusicalNotation) | +[Painting](#acsubtype_Painting) | +[Photograph](#acsubtype_Photograph) | +[Recorded Organism](#acsubtype_RecordedOrganism) | +[Recorded Text](#acsubtype_RecordedText) | +[Scanned Text](#acsubtype_ScannedText) | +[Slide Show](#acsubtype_SlideShow) | +[Taxon Page](#acsubtype_TaxonPage) | +[Virtual Reality Environment](#acsubtype_VirtualRealityEnvironment) + +## 4 Vocabulary + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Audubon Core Term List. Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG). http://rs.tdwg.org/ac/doc/termlist/2021-10-05 + + +## 1 Introduction + +There are a number of documents included in the Aububon Core Standard. This document provides details about the terms included in the 2021-10-05 version of the Audubon Core vocabulary. The [Audubon Core Introduction](introduction.md) document provides a brief introduction to the Audubon Core Standard. For information about the structure of Audubon Core, see the [Audubon Core Structure](structure.md) document. For a more detailed guide to the use of Audubon Core, see the [Audubon Core Guide](guide.md) document. + + +### 1.1 Status of the content of this document + +Sections 1.3 through 5 are normative, except for Table 1. In Section 7 and its subparts, the values of the Normative URI, Definition, Required, and Repeatable are normative. The value of Usage (if it exists for a given term) is normative in that it specifies how a borrowed term should be used as part of Audubon Core. The values of Term Name is non-normative, although one can expect that the namespace abbreviation prefix is one commonly used for the term namespace. Labels and the values of all other properties (such as notes) are non-normative. + +### 1.2 RFC 2119 key words +The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2119). + +### 1.3 Categories of terms + +An Audubon Core (AC) record is a description of a multimedia resource +using the AC vocabularies. Three kinds of terms are specified by this +document: those terms which describe representation-independent aspects +of the media, those which describe representation-dependent aspects, and those that designate specified parts of the media item. +Most terms are representation-independent, referring to an "abstract +multimedia resource". One such term, `ac:hasServiceAccessPoint`, refers to +or contains representation-dependent service access point metadata +describing a digital representation of the abstract multimedia resource (an instance of the `ac:ServiceAccessPoint` class). +These metadata describe such things as a web address at which a digital +representation can be retrieved, and the format, extent, or licenses +that describe a particular such representation. A multimedia resource +may provide several access points for different representations (e.g., +different resolutions). The resource may also be linked to one or more Regions of Interest (ROI) that define parts within the media item (instances of the `ac:RegionOfInterest` class). + + +## 2 Borrowed Vocabulary + +When terms are borrowed from other vocabularies, AC uses the URIs, +common abbreviations, and namespace prefixes in use in those +vocabularies. The URIs are normative, but abbreviations and namespace +prefixes have no impact except as an aid to reading the documentation. + +Table 1. Vocabularies from which terms have been borrowed (non-normative) + +Note: URIs for terms in most of these namespaces do not dereference to anything. The authoritative documentation can be obtained by clicking on the vocabulary names in the table. + +| Vocabulary | Abbreviation | Namespaces and abbreviations | +|------------|--------------|------------------------------| +| [Darwin Core](https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/) | DwC | `dwc: = http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/` +| [Dublin Core](http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/) | DC | `dc: = http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/, dcterms: = http://purl.org/dc/terms/` | +| [Adobe XMP Core Properties](https://wwwimages2.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/xmp/pdfs/XMP%20SDK%20Release%20cc-2016-08/XMPSpecificationPart1.pdf) | XMP | `xmp: = http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/, xmpRights: = http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/rights/` | +| [Adobe XMP Additional Properties](http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/xmp/pdfs/XMP%20SDK%20Release%20cc-2014-12/XMPSpecificationPart2.pdf) | XMP | `photoshop: = http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/` | +| [International Press and Telecommunications Council Photo Metadata Standard,Extension Schema 1.1](http://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/specification/IPTC-PhotoMetadata-201007_1.pdf) | IPTC | `Iptc4xmpExt: = http://iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpExt/2008-02-29/` | +| [Camera and Imaging Products Association Exchangeable Image File Format](http://www.cipa.jp/std/documents/e/DC-008-2012_E.pdf) | EXIF | `exif: = http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/` | +| [Music Ontology](http://musicontology.com/specification/) | MO | `mo: = http://purl.org/ontology/mo/` | +| [TDWG Natural Collection Description LSID Ontology](https://github.com/tdwg/ontology/blob/master/ontology/voc/Collection.rdf) (referenced in metadata, but no terms borrowed) | NCD | `ncd: = http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/Collection#` | + + +## 3 Namespaces, Prefixes and Term Names + +The namespace of terms borrowed from other vocabularies is that of the +original. The namespace of de novo AC terms is +`http://rs.tdwg.org/ac/terms/`. In the table of terms, each term entry has +a row with the term name. This term name is generally an "unqualified +name" preceded by a widely accepted prefix designating an abbreviation +for the namespace It is RECOMMENDED that implementers who need a +namespace prefix for the AC namespace use `ac`. In this web document, +hovering over a term in the [Index By Term Name](#index-by-term-name) +list below will reveal a complete URL that can be used in other web +documents to link to *this* document's treatment of that term, even if +it is from a borrowed vocabulary. It is very important to note that some +vocabularies, e.g those of the +[Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI)](http://dublincore.org/), +provide versions of the same term in two different namespaces, one +providing for string values and one providing for URIs, even where that +separation is simply a recommendation, not a mandate. See this +[DCMI wiki entry](https://web.archive.org/web/20171126043657/https://github.com/dcmi/repository/blob/master/mediawiki_wiki/FAQ/DC_and_DCTERMS_Namespaces.md) +on this topic. For vocabularies where such a practice is in place, we +often follow it and signal a reference in the Notes of our term +descriptions to the sister version of the term. An example is the pair +[dc:type](#dc_type) and [dcterms:type](#dcterms_type). When such a pair allows repeated instances (e.g. as for [dc:source](#dc_source) and [dcterms:source](#dcterms_source)), particular care may be required in some +implementations of AC, because +some implementations may not provide enough structure to clearly state +the association between the members of a pair in the case of multiple +values of each. This is a special case of the issue treated in the +normative material on [Multiplicity and Cardinality](structure.md#3-multiplicity-and-cardinality) in the Audubon Core Structure document. + + +## 4 Layers + +(The Audubon Core layer property has been deprecated as of 2020-01-27) + + +## 5 Literal- vs. URI-valued Terms + +Some terms have two versions, one expecting a string literal value and +the other a URI. In these circumstances, the version expecting a string +is named with the suffix "Literal", e.g. `ac:metadataLanguageLiteral`. In +such cases, both forms MAY be provided, but care should be taken to +ensure that the uses reflect the same intent. In case of ambiguity, the +URI version prevails. All terms, including those whether or not with a +specific "Literal" suffix, specify in their definition whether the +required values are strings or URIs. + + + +## 6 Vocabulary Indices

Term version URIhttp://dublincore.org/usage/terms/history/#available-003
LabelDate Available
Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionDate (often a range) that the resource became or will become available.
UsageThe date (often a range) that the resource became or will become available. The date and time MUST comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) datetime practice, https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime, which requires that date and time representation correspond to ISO 8601:1998, but with year fields always comprising 4 digits. This makes datetime records compliant with 8601:2004, https://www.iso.org/standard/40874.html. AC datetime values MAY also follow 8601:2004 for ranges by separating two IS0 8601 datetime fields by a solidus ("forward slash", '/').
NotesA use case is the harvesting of metadata published before the media are available, which are pending a formal publication elsewhere. One important example is the case of metadata that documents an occurrence, which metadata harvesters might exploit without use of the media. See also the wikipedia IS0 8601 entry, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601, for further explanation and examples.

Required: No -- Repeatable: Yes
DefinitionAny comment provided on the media resource, as free-form text.
UsageBest practice would also identify the commenter.
NotesComments may refer to the resource itself (e. g., asserting a taxon name or location of a biological subject in an image), or to the relation between resource and associated metadata (e. g., asserting that the taxon name given in the metadata is wrong, without asserting a positive identification). There is a separate item for Reviewer Comments, which is defined more as an expert-level review. Implementers or communities of practice might establish conventions about the meaning of the absence of a commenter, but this specification is silent on that matter.

Term version URIhttp://rs.tdwg.org/ac/terms/version/hasServiceAccessPoint-2020-01-27
LabelService Access Point
Required: No -- Repeatable: Yes
DefinitionIn a chosen serialization (RDF, XML Schema, etc.) the potentially multiple service access points (e.g., for different resolutions of an image) might be provided in a referenced or in a nested object. This property identifies one such access point. That is, each of potentially multiple values of hasServiceAccessPoint identifies a set of representation-dependent metadata using the properties defined under the Service Access Point Vocabulary section of the Audubon Core Term List document.
NotesSome serializations may flatten the model of service-access points by (a) dropping ac:hasServiceAccessPoint, ac:variant and ac:variantLiteral, (b) repeating properties from the Service Access Point Vocabulary and prefixing them with values of ac:variantLiteral. If such a flat serialization is necessary for services, we recommend to select from among term names of the form "AB" where "A" is one of thumbnail, trailer, lowerQuality, mediumQuality, goodQuality, bestQuality, offline and "B" is one of AccessURI, Format, Extent, FurtherInformationURL, LicensingException, ServiceExpectation (example: thumbnailAccessURI). Implementers in specific constraint languages such as XML Schema or RDF may wish to make Access URI and perhaps dcterms:format mandatory on instances of the service access point.

DefinitionAn unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context.
UsageAn arbitrary code that is unique for the resource, with the resource being either a provider, collection, or media item.
NotesUsing multiple identifiers implies that they have a same-as relationship, i.e. they all identify the same object (e. g. an object may have all of an http-URL, an lsid-URI, and a UUID).

UsagePoint in time recording when the last modification to metadata (not necessarily the media object itself) occurred. The date and time MUST comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) datetime practice, https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime, which requires that date and time representation correspond to ISO 8601:1998, but with year fields always comprising 4 digits. This makes datetime records compliant with 8601:2004, https://www.iso.org/standard/40874.html.

LabelMetadata Language
Required: Yes -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionThe URI of the language of description and other metadata (but not necessarily of the image itself) , from the ISO639-2 list of URIs for ISO 3-letter language codes, http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/iso639-2.
UsageAt least one of ac:metadataLanguage and ac:metadataLanguageLiteral MUST be supplied but, when feasible, supplying both might make the metadata more widely useful. They must specify the same language. In case of ambiguity, ac:metadataLanguage prevails.
NotesThis is NOT dcterms:language, which is about the resource, not the metadata. Metadata Language is deliberately single-valued, imposing on unstructured serializations a requirement that multi-lingual metadata be represented as separate, complete, metadata records. Audubon Core requires that each record also contains the language-neutral terms. In the absence of this requirement, metadata consumers would need to know which terms are language-neutral and merge these terms from all provided metadataLanguages into a single record. Metadata consumers may re-combine the information based on the dcterms:identifier that identifies the multimedia resource. Nothing in this document would, however, prevent an implementer, e. g. of an XML-Schema representation, from providing a fully hierarchical schema in which language neutral terms occur only a single time, and only the language-specific terms are repeated in a way that unambigously relates them to a metadata language. In RDF it may be a simple repetition of plain literals associated with a language (e.g., xml:lang attribute in RDF/XML). The language attribute would then be required in Audubon Core and would replace ac:metadataLanguage.

At least one of ac:metadataLanguage and ac:metadataLanguageLiteral MUST be supplied but, when feasible, supplying both might make the metadata more widely useful. They MUST specify the same language.

Required: No -- Repeatable: Yes
DefinitionDate on which the resource was changed.
UsageDate that the media resource was altered. The date and time MUST comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) datetime practice, https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime, which requires that date and time representation correspond to ISO 8601:1998, https://www.iso.org/standard/40874.html, but with year fields always comprising 4 digits. This makes datetime records compliant with 8601:2004. AC datetime values MAY also follow 8601:2004 for ranges by separating two IS0 8601 datetime fields by a solidus ("forward slash", '/').
Notesdcterms:modified permits all modification dates to be recorded, or if only one is recorded, it is assumed to be the latest. See also the wikipedia IS0 8601 entry, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601, for further explanation and examples.

Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionA free-form identifier (a simple number, an alphanumeric code, a URL, etc.) for the resource that is unique and meaningful primarily for the data provider.
NotesIdeally, this would be a globally unique identifier (GUID), but the provider is encouraged to supply any form of identifier that simplifies communications on resources within their project and helps to locate individual data items in the provider's data repositories. It is the provider's decision whether to expose this value or not.

DefinitionA user-assigned rating for this file. The value shall be -1 or in the range [0..5], where -1 indicates "rejected" and 0 indicates "unrated". If xmp:Rating is not present, a value of 0 should be assumed.
UsageA rating of the media resources, provided by record originators or editors, with '1' (worst) to '5' (best). Anticipated usage is for a typical 'star rating' UI, with the addition of a notion of rejection. Values MAY be decimal numbers in the permitted range.
NotesThe origin of the rating is not communicated. It may, e. g., be based on user feedback or on editorial ratings. By "user-assigned" is meant assigned by the originator or editor of the record using the term.

UsageThe subtype term MUST NOT be applied to Collection objects. However, the Description term in the Content Coverage Vocabulary might add further description to a Collection object. IRI values SHOULD be selected from the Controlled Vocabulary for Audubon Core subtype. Human-readable information about the Controlled Vocabulary for subtype is at http://rs.tdwg.org/ac/doc/subtype/ . In text-based systems such as tables, IRI values MUST be in unabbreviated form. When an appropriate subtype is not available in the Audubon Core controlled vocabulary, a term IRI that is not in a TDWG namespace MAY be used. Conforming applications MAY choose to ignore controlled values not issued by Audubon Core.

LabelTitle
Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionA name given to the resource.
UsageConcise title, name, or brief descriptive label of institution, resource collection, or individual resource. This field SHOULD include the complete title with all the subtitles, if any.
NotesIt is strongly suggested to provide a title. The title facilitates interactions with humans: e.g., it could be used as display text of hyperlinks or to provide a choice of images in a pick list. The title is therefore highly useful and an effort should be made to provide it where it is not already available. When the resource is a collection without an institutional or official name, but with a thematic content, a descriptive title, e. g. "Urban Ants of New England," would be suitable. In individual media resources depicting taxa, the scientific name or names of taxa often form a good title. Common names in addition to or instead of scientific names are also acceptable. Indications of action or roles captured by the media resource, such as predatory acts, are desirable ("Rattlesnake eating deer mouse", "Pollinators of California Native Plants").

UsageThe value of dc:type SHOULD be a term name of any term from the DCMI Type Vocabulary, https://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/#section-7 RECOMMENDED term names for media items are "Collection", "StillImage", "Sound", "MovingImage", "InteractiveResource", and "Text". A Collection MUST be given a value of "Collection". Following the DC recommendations at http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text, images of text SHOULD be given a value of "Text" for dc:type.

RECOMMENDED values for media items are those IRIs whose term names are "Collection", "StillImage", "Sound", "MovingImage", "InteractiveResource", and "Text". A Collection MUST be given a value of http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Collection.

LabelLicense Terms
Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionA collection of text instructions on how a resource can be legally used, given in a variety of languages.
UsageThe license statement defining how resources might be used. Information on a collection applies to all contained objects unless the object has a different statement. Where different quality variants (e. g. different resolutions of images) are published under different licenses, the AC term "Licensing Exception Statement" supports variant-specific licenses. Note that the medium or low resolution levels of the same image might be available under open access licenses.
NotesExample: "Available under Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 license". This also describes the commercial availability of items. Buying an identification tool or media resource is essentially the purchase of an individual license. Examples for such License statements: "Available through bookstores" for a commercially published CD, and "Individual licenses available for purchase" for a high-resolution image. In general, this term determines the default licensing for the media. License terms specific to variants or representations of the media resource (e.g., different resolutions) are dealt within the section on Service Access Point Vocabulary

LabelSubject Category
Required: No -- Repeatable: Yes
DefinitionA term to describe the content of the image by a value from a Controlled Vocabulary.
UsageControlled vocabulary of subjects to support broad classification of media items. Terms from various controlled vocabularies may be used. AC-recommended vocabularies are preferred and MAY be unqualified literals (not a full URI). For terms from other vocabularies either a precise URI SHOULD be used, or, as long as all unqualified terms in all vocabularies are unique, metadata SHOULD provide the source vocabularies using the Subject Category Vocabulary term. The value SHOULD be a string, whose text can also be in the form of a URL. These guidelines on value format are less restrictive than is specified by the IPTC guidelines.
NotesRecommended sets include: the NASA Global Change Master Directory (GCMD; http://gcmd.nasa.gov/), Subject Categories defined in Key to Nature (K2N; http://www.keytonature.eu/wiki/Subject_Category), the BioComplexity Thesaurus; https://www2.usgs.gov/core_science_systems/csas/biocomplexity_thesaurus/, the Description Type GBIF Vocabulary; http://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/gbif/description_type.xml, the TDWG Species Profile Model; http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/SPMInfoItems.rdf, the Plinian Core; https://github.com/tdwg/PlinianCore/wiki, the European Environmental Agency GEneral Multilingual Environmental Thesaurus (GEMET; http://www.eionet.europa.eu/gemet), and the Long Term Ecological Research Network Controlled Vocabulary (LTER; http://vocab.lternet.edu/). The vocabulary may include major taxonomic groups (such as "vertebrates" or "fungi") or ecosystem terms ("savannah", "temperate rain forest", "forest fires", "aquatic vertebrates"). Other formal classifications (published in print or online) such as habitat, fuel, invasive species, agroproductivity, fisheries, migratory species etc. are also suitable.

LabelDescription
Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionAn account of the resource.
UsageDescription of collection or individual resource, containing the Who, What, When, Where and Why as free-form text.
NotesThis property optionally allows the presentation of detailed information and will in most cases be shown together with the resource title. If both a description and a caption are present in the metadata, a description is typically displayed instead of the resource, whereas a caption is displayed together with the resource. The description should aim to be a good proxy for the underlying media resource in cases where only text can be shown, whereas the caption may only make sense when shown together with the media. Thus, in HTML it would be appropriate to use dcterms:description values for alt attributes in img elements. Often only one of description or caption is present; choose the term most appropriate for your metadata. It is the role of implementers of an AC concrete representation (e.g., an XML Schema, an RDF representation, etc.) to decide and document how formatting advice will be represented in descriptions serialized according to such representations.

+ + +### 7.5 Geography Vocabulary + +Note that [dwc:locality](http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/locality) may be used, but as applied to media this term may be ambiguous as to whether it applies to the location depicted or the location at which the media was created. When disambiguating information is available, it is better to use the terms Location Shown and Location Created. The latter is in the Resource Creation Vocabulary. + +Location Created and Location Shown are separated in the current version of IPTC, and the Metadata Working Group ([Metadata Working Group Guidelines for Handling Image Metadata, Version 2.0, November 2010](https://web.archive.org/web/20180919181934/http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf)) also recommends this. We follow this below in order to support the expected future increase of automatic GPS-based coordinate recording. As a special case, the AC group recommends to change the semantics of Location Shown in the case of biodiversity specimens, where the original location may differ from the current location at which the specimen is held in a collection. In this case, Location Shown should exclusively refer to the location where a specimen was originally collected (gathering or sampling location). Use Location Created to express the location where the resource was created (a specimen was digitized). + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

DefinitionThe ratio of the area of the footprint (footprintWKT) to the area of the true (original, or most specific) spatial representation of the Location. Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given footprint does not completely contain the original representation. The footprintSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left empty) if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the footprintSpatialFit is 1.

A value of 0 should be used if the given point-radius does not completely contain the original representation. The pointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left empty) if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the pointRadiusSpatialFit is 1.

Term Name: xmp:CreateDate
Normative URIhttp://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/CreateDate
Modified2021-10-05
LabelOriginal Date and Time
Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionThe date and time the resource was created. For a digital file, this need not match a file-system creation time. For a freshly created resource, it should be close to that time, modulo the time taken to write the file. Later file transfer, copying, and so on, can make the file-system time arbitrarily different.
UsageThe date of the creation of the original resource from which the digital media was derived or created. The date and time MUST comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) datetime practice, https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime, which requires that date and time representation correspond to ISO 8601:1998, but with year fields always comprising 4 digits. This makes datetime records compliant with 8601:2004, https://www.iso.org/standard/40874.html. AC datetime values MAY also follow 8601:2004 for ranges by separating two IS0 8601 datetime fields by a solidus ("forward slash", '/'). When applied to a media resource with temporal extent such as audio or video, this property indicates the startTime of the recording.
NotesWhat constitutes "original" is determined by the metadata author. Example: Digitization of a photographic slide of a map would normally give the date at which the map was created; however a photographic work of art including the same map as its content may give the date of the original photographic exposure. Imprecise or unknown dates can be represented as ISO dates or ranges. Compare also Date and Time Digitized in the Resource Creation Vocabulary. See also the wikipedia IS0 8601 entry, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601, for further explanation and examples.

LabelTemporal Coverage
Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionTemporal characteristics of the resource.
UsageThe coverage (extent or scope) of the content of the resource. Temporal coverage will typically include temporal period (a period label, date, or date range) to which the subjects of the media or media collection relate. If dates are mentioned, they SHOULD follow ISO 8601. When the resource is a Collection, this refers to the temporal coverage of the collection. Following dcterms:temporal, the value MUST be a URI.
NotesSee the DCMI User Guide dcterms:temporal entry, https://github.com/dcmi/repository/blob/master/mediawiki_wiki/User_Guide/Publishing_Metadata.md#dctermstemporal, for an example. dc:coverage may be used for string values of temporal coverage, but use the Geography Vocabulary for geographic coverage. String examples for use with dc:coverage include "Jurassic", "Elizabethan", "Spring, 1957". 2008-01-01/2008-06-30. If the resource is video or audio, it refers to the time span, if any, depicted by the resource. For live-media this is closely related to Original Date and Time (Example: the time depicted by a time-lapse video file of organism development), but for media with fictional content it is not.

LabelIdentification Qualifier
Required: No -- Repeatable: Yes
DefinitionA brief phrase or a standard term ("cf.", "aff.") to express the determiner's doubts about the Identification.
UsageA brief phrase or a standard abbreviation ("cf. genus", "cf. species", "cf. var.", "aff. species", etc.) to express the determiner's doubts with respect to a specified taxonomic rank about the identification given in Scientific Taxon Name.
NotesSplitting identification qualification and Scientific Taxon Name into separate fields is recommended practice in cases where only a single taxon name is available, or if the exchange format is able to keep relations between multiple names and identification qualifiers. Where the exchange format only supports simple multiplicities, a media item with multiple Scientific Taxon Names, some with, some without identification qualifiers, may have to be transferred with "cf." or "aff." qualifiers remaining embedded in the Scientific Taxon Name. Example: For the determinations "cf. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. palmarum", "Fusarium cf. oxysporum f. sp. palmarum", "Fusarium oxysporum cf. f. sp. palmarum" the Scientific Taxon Name would always be "Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. palmarum", with Identification Qualifier "cf. genus", "cf. species" and "cf. f.sp.", respectively. In most cases only the lowest taxon is in doubt, but cases exist where good reasons exist to suspect a specific or even infraspecific determination, without having a save generic identification.
Examplesaff. agrifolia var. oxyadenia (for Quercus aff. agrifolia var. oxyadenia with accompanying values Quercus in genus, agrifolia in specificEpithet, oxyadenia in infraspecificEpithet, and var. in taxonRank. cf. var. oxyadenia for Quercus agrifolia cf. var. oxyadenia with accompanying values Quercus in genus, agrifolia in specificEpithet, oxyadenia in infraspecificEpithet, and var. in taxonRank.

Required: No -- Repeatable: Yes
DefinitionThe full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known. When forming part of an Identification, this should be the name in lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined. This term should not contain identification qualifications, which should instead be supplied in the IdentificationQualifier term.
UsageScientific names of taxa represented in the media resource (with date and name authorship information if available) of the lowest level taxonomic rank that can be applied.
NotesThe Scientific Taxon Name may possibly be of a higher rank, e.g., a genus or family name, if this is the most specific identification available. Where multiple taxa are the subject of the media item, multiple names may be given. If possible, add this information here even if the title or caption of the resource already contains scientific taxon names. Where the list of scientific taxon names is impractically large (e.g., media collections or identification tools), the number of taxa should be given in Taxon Count (see below). If possible, avoid repeating the Taxonomic Coverage here. Do not use abbreviated Genus names ("P. vulgaris"). It is recommended to provide author citation to scientific names, to avoid ambiguities in the presence of homonyms (the same name created by different authors for different taxa). Identifier qualifications should be supplied in the Identification Qualifier term rather than here (i. e. "Abies cf. alba" is deprecated, to be replaced with Scientific Taxon Name = "Abies alba" and Identification Qualifier = "cf. species").

Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionAn exact or estimated number of taxa at the lowest applicable taxon rank (usually species or infraspecific) represented by the media resource (item or collection).
UsageThe count SHOULD contain only the taxa covered fully or primarily by the resource. This SHOULD be a single integer number.
NotesPrimarily intended for resource collections and singular resources dealing with sets of taxa (e. g., identification tools, videos). It is recommended to give an exact or estimated number of specific taxa when a complete list of taxa is not available or practical. For a taxon page and most images this will be "1", i. e. other taxa mentioned on the side or in the background should not be counted. However, sometimes a resource may illustrate an ecological or behavioral entity with multiple species, e. g., a host-pathogen interaction; taxon count would then indicate the known number of species in this interaction. Leave the field empty if you cannot estimate the information (do not enter 0). Additional taxon counts at higher levels (e. g. how many families are covered by a digital Fauna) should be given verbatim in the resource description, not here.

Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionA higher taxon (e. g., a genus, family, or order) at the level of the genus or higher, that covers all taxa that are the primary subject of the resource (which may be a media item or a collection).
NotesExample: Where the subject of an image is several species of ducks with trees visible in the background, Taxon Coverage would still be Anatidae (and not Biota). Example: "Aves" for a bird key or a bird image collection. Do not add a rank ("Class Aves") in this field. Note that this somewhat expands the usage of ncd:taxonCoverage which, however has not yet been adopted by TDWG, and which specifies at the Family level or higher. For collections it is recommended to follow ncd:taxonCoverage to avoid conflicts between an AC record and a record arising from use of the un-adopted NCD. If the resource contains a single taxon, this should be placed in Scientific Taxon Name. In this case Taxon Coverage may be left empty, but if not, care should be taken that the entries do not conflict. Example: If Scientific Taxon Name is Quercus alba then Taxon Coverage, if provided at all, should be Quercus.

Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionDate the first digital version was created, if different from Original Date and Time found in the Temporal Coverage Vocabulary.
UsageThe date and time MUST comply with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) datetime practice, https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime, which requires that date and time representation correspond to ISO 8601:1998, but with year fields always comprising 4 digits. This makes datetime records compliant with 8601:2004, https://www.iso.org/standard/40874.html. AC datetime values MAY also follow 8601:2004 for ranges by separating two IS0 8601 datetime fields by a solidus ("forward slash", '/'). Use the international (ISO/xml) format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm (e. g. "2007-12-31" or "2007-12-31T14:59"). Where available, timezone information SHOULD be added.
NotesThis is often not the media creation or modification date. For example, if photographic prints have been scanned, the date of that scanning is what this term carries, but Original Date and Time is that depicted in the print. In the case of digital images containing EXIF, whereas the EXIF capture date does not contain time zone information, but EXIF GPSDateStamp and GPSTimeStamp may be relevant as these include time-zone information. See also Metadata Working Group Guidelines for Handling Image Metadata, Version 2.0 (November 2010), https://web.archive.org/web/20180919181934/http://www.metadataworkinggroup.org/pdf/mwg_guidance.pdf, which has best practice advice on handling time-zone-less EXIF date/time data.

DefinitionInformation about technical aspects of the creation and digitization process of the resource. This includes modification steps ("retouching") after the initial resource capture.
NotesAnnotating whether and how a resource has been modified or edited significantly in ways that are not immediately obvious to, or expected by, consumers is of special significance. Examples for images are: Removing a distracting twig from a picture, moving an object to a different surrounding, changing the color in parts of the image, or blurring the background of an image. Modifications that are standard practice and expected or obvious are not necessary to document; examples of such practices include changing resolution, cropping, minor sharpening or overall color correction, and clearly perceptible modifications (e.g., addition of arrows or labels, or the placement of multiple pictures into a table.) If it is only known that significant modifications were made, but no details are known, a general statement like "Media may have been manipulated to improve appearance" may be appropriate. See also Subject Preparation Technique.
ExamplesEncoding method or settings, numbers of channels, lighting, frames per second, data rate, interlaced or progressive, multiflash lighting, remote control, automatic interval exposure.

LabelRelated Resource ID
Required: No -- Repeatable: Yes
DefinitionResource related in ways not specified through a collection, e.g., before-after images; time-lapse series; different orientations/angles of view
NotesThe value references a related media item. Examples of relations are: Images taken in a sequence or defined time series, an exposure or focus series (e.g. for stacking), different framing or views (top, side, bottom) of the same subject, or an overview plus several details. The property makes such related media items discoverable, but does not indicate the nature of this relationship. More specific properties may be defined in a later version of AC.

They are used within whatever a particular AC implementation assigns to the value of `ac:hasServiceAccessPoint`, whose label is simply "Service Access Point." Note that it is possible for an implementation to use syntactic conventions that avoid direct use of `ac:hasServiceAccessPoint`, as illustrated in the final example in the section [Multiplicity/Cardinality in the Audubon Core Structure document](structure.md#3-multiplicity-and-cardinality). + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

LabelFormat (literal)
Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionThe file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource.
UsageA controlled value string describing the technical format of the resource (file format or physical medium). The string SHOULD be a controlled value from the the Audubon Core Controlled Vocabulary for Dublin Core format, although it MAY be any Media Type (MIME type) value from the IANA list of Media Types (https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml) or any commonly used file extension string. Human-readable information about the Controlled Vocabulary for format is at http://rs.tdwg.org/ac/doc/format/ .
NotesThis term can be used to describe offline digital content. In cases where the provided Service Access Point URL includes a standard file extension from which the format can be inferred, it is permissible to not provide a value for this property. See also the entry for dcterms:format in the Audubon Core term list document and see the DCMI FAQ on DC and DCTERMS Namespaces, https://web.archive.org/web/20171126043657/https://github.com/dcmi/repository/blob/master/mediawiki_wiki/FAQ/DC_and_DCTERMS_Namespaces.md, for discussion of the rationale for terms in two namespaces. It is best practice to use dcterms:format instead of dc:format whenever practical. Normal practice is to use the same Label if both are provided. Labels have no effect on information discovery and are only suggestions.

Required: No -- Repeatable: No
DefinitionThe decimal fraction representing the frequency (rate) at which consecutive images (frames) were captured in real time for a moving image, expressed as the number of frames per second.
UsageThis term represents the rate at which consecutive images were captured in real time, not the rate at which the media is encoded to play back the recording.
NotesFor example, in a recording where 60 consecutive images (frames) are captured for each second of the real-time recording, this would be 60. In a time-lapse recording where one image (frame) is recorded every 5 seconds of recording, this would be 0.2.
