Working session of the Darwin Core Germplasm extension and the GBIF IPT extension during the TDWG 2009 conference. Darwin Core (DwC) is a set of general terms applicable to most biodiversity datasets. The Germplasm extension extends the generic terms to include terms required for germplasm biodiversity datasets.

24. The GBIF IPT service has a graphical interface to the datasets. Including a map, pie charts, or the right side context menu (taxonomy and geography).

25. The IPT user interface includes the extensions

26. XML interface includes the extensions

27. GBIF IPT implements the Darwin Core Standard; and provides an interface to easily build extensions to the core Darwin Core terms. The draft germplasm extension is one example of how-to extend the Darwin Core terms for the GBIF IPT.

28. Using GBIF technology (and contributing to its development), the PGR community can easily establish specific PGR networks without duplicating GBIF's work . The compatibility of data standards between PGR and biodiversity collections made it possible to integrate the worldwide germplasm collections into the biodiversity community (GBIF, TDWG).
