Dear all
You may remember I asked for comments on standardising terms such as
startTime/endTime, within the TDWG Audubon Core standard. The new terms
have now been ratified, as part of this "region of interest" vocabulary:
https://ac.tdwg.org/termlist/#711-region-of-interest-vocabulary
We hope that using these terms will make (meta)data sharing easier!
Best wishes
Dan
