Darwin Core API

The DwC-API library provides:

• Enumerations representing Darwin Core terms
• Enumerations representing terms or a subset of terms from other standards (e.g. Dublin Core, Audubon Core)
• Handling of unknown terms through UnknownTerm
• Factory for getting Term instances
• Utilities like JSON serialization and Term comparator

To build the project

mvn clean install

//get Term by the defined enumaration
Term scientificNameFromEnum = DwcTerm.scientificName;

//get Term by the TermFactory
TermFactory factory = TermFactory.instance();
Term scientificNameFromPrefixAndSimpleName = factory.findTerm("dwc:scientificName");
Term scientificNameFromQualifiedName = factory.findTerm("http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName");
