During this webinar, we will provide an update on efforts to explore a new data model for GBIF.
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.
We will introduce these developments, the timeline, and explain how you can already begin participating in early testing.
