Introducing the Darwin Core Data Package
Diversifying the GBIF Data Model webinar - 2 Jun 2025
During this webinar, we provided an update on efforts to explore a new data model for GBIF.
- Introduction and welcome | Kate Ingenloff (GBIF Secretariat)
- Data model status update | Kate Ingenloff (GBIF Secretariat)
- Implementation use case | Cecilie Svenningsen (GBIF Secretariat)
- Getting involved | John Wiezorek
- Q&A | Moderated discussion
This work will introduce changes that we aim to propose as a Vocabulary Enhancement to the Darwin Core standard, with a public review expected to begin on September 2025
The public review will feature:
- A Darwin Core Conceptual Model, part of a long-awaited Semantic Layer for Darwin Core.
- A Darwin Core Data Package (DwC-DP) Publishing Model, enabling the sharing of deeper, richer data than what is currently possible with a Darwin Core Archive.
