It includes a glossary of terms (in other contexts these might be called properties, elements, fields, columns, attributes, or concepts) intended to **facilitate the sharing of information about biological diversity** by providing identifiers, labels, and definitions. Darwin Core is primarily based on taxa, their occurrence in nature as documented by observations, specimens, samples, and related information.\n\n## Getting started\n\n[Darwin Core Quick Reference Guide](https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/)\n\nDocuments:\n\n- [List of terms document](https://dwc.tdwg.org/list/): Comprehensive metadata for current and obsolete terms in human readable form\n- [Complete term history table](vocabulary/term_versions.csv): A CSV file with the full version history of Darwin Core terms\n- [Distribution documents](dist/): Simple CSV files to start using Darwin Core\n- [Website documents](docs/): Markdown files that form the source for the [Darwin Core website](https://dwc.tdwg.org/)\n\nCommunity:\n\n- [How to contribute](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md): a guide on how to contribute to Darwin Core\n- [Darwin Core Q\u0026A](https://github.com/tdwg/dwc-qa): an open forum on the use of Darwin Core\n\n## Repo structure\n\nThe repository structure is described below.
