Esta página no forma parte del estándar, pero combina los nombres y definiciones de los términos normativos con los comentarios y ejemplos no normativos que están destinados a ayudar a las personas a utilizar los términos de forma coherente. Las definiciones, comentarios y ejemplos pueden incluir abreviaciones de espacios de nombres (e.g., “dwc:”). Estas se incluyen para indicar que el significado de la palabra a la que están asociadas corresponde específicamente con la definición del término en ese espacio de nombres. Por lo tanto, dwc:Event significa Event tal como está definido por Darwin Core en https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#event. Los términos capitalizados que siguen a una abreviación de espacio de nombres, como dwc:Occurrence, son términos de clase de Darwin Core, los cuales constituyen una categoría especial de términos usados para agrupar conjuntos de términos de propiedad (términos que comienzan con minúscula y siguen la abreviación del espacio de nombres, por ejemplo, dwc:eventID) por conveniencia. Los metadatos completos de los términos actuales y obsoletos en formato legible para humanos se encuentran en el documento Lista de términos Darwin Core.

Archivos adicionales con solo los nombres de los términos actuales, así como un archivo con el historial completo de términos, pueden encontrarse en el repositorio de Darwin Core.

Comentarios	This term can be used to provide a list of associations to dwc:Taxon records other than the one defined in the dwc:Occurrence. Note that the dwc:ResourceRelationship class is an alternative means of representing associations, and with more detail. This term is not apt for establishing relationships between dwc:Taxon records, only between specific dwc:Occurrences of a dwc:Organism with other dwc:Taxon records. Recommended best practice is to separate the values in a list with space vertical bar space ( `\|` ).
Ejemplos	`"host":"Quercus alba"` `"host":"gbif.org/species/2879737"` `"parasitoid of":"Cyclocephala signaticollis" \| "predator of":"Apis mellifera"`

scientificName
Identificador	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName
Definición	The full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known. When forming part of a dwc: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 dwc:identificationQualifier term.
Comentarios	This term should not contain identification qualifications, which should instead be supplied in the IdentificationQualifier term. When applied to an Organism or Occurrence, this term should be used to represent the scientific name that was applied to the associated Organism in accordance with the Taxon to which it was or is currently identified. Names should be compliant to the most recent nomenclatural code. For example, names of hybrids for algae, fungi and plants should follow the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Schenzhen Code Articles H.1, H.2 and H.3). Thus, use the multiplication sign `×` (Unicode `U+00D7`, HTML `×`) to identify a hybrid, not `x` or `X`, if possible.
Ejemplos	`Coleoptera` (order) `Vespertilionidae` (family) `Manis` (genus) `Ctenomys sociabilis` (genus + specificEpithet) `Ambystoma tigrinum diaboli` (genus + specificEpithet + infraspecificEpithet) `Roptrocerus typographi (Györfi, 1952)` (genus + specificEpithet + scientificNameAuthorship) `Quercus agrifolia var. oxyadenia (Torr.)

Unlike basionyms, however, this term can apply to scientific names at all ranks.
Ejemplos	`Pinus abies` `Gasterosteus saltatrix Linnaeus 1768`

nameAccordingTo
Identificador	http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/nameAccordingTo
Definición	The reference to the source in which the specific taxon concept circumscription is defined or implied - traditionally signified by the Latin "sensu" or "sec." (from secundum, meaning "according to"). For taxa that result from identifications, a reference to the keys, monographs, experts and other sources should be given.
Comentarios	This term provides context to the dwc:scientificName. Together with the dwc:scientificName, separated by `sensu` or `sec.`, it forms the taxon concept label, which may be seen as having the same relationship to dwc:taxonConceptID as, for example, dwc:acceptedNameUsage has to dwc:acceptedNameUsageID. When not provided, in Taxon Core data sets the dwc:nameAccordingTo can be taken to be the data set. In this case the data set mostly provides sufficient context to infer the delimitation of the taxon and its relationship with other taxa. In Occurrence Core data sets, when not provided, dwc:nameAccordingTo can be an underlying taxonomy of the data set, e.g. Plants of the World Online (http://powo.science.kew.org/) for vascular plant records in iNaturalist (in which case it should be provided), or, which is the case for most dwc:PreservedSpecimen data sets, the dwc:Identification, in which case there is no further context.
Ejemplos	`Franz NM, Cardona-Duque J (2013) Description of two new species and phylogenetic reassessment of Perelleschus Wibmer & O’Brien, 1986 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), with a complete taxonomic concept history of Perelleschus sec.
