Examples

dwc <- get_dwc(type= "simple")
dwc_terms(dwc, c("genus", "scientificName"))
#> • genus: The full scientific name of the genus in which the dwc:Taxon is
#> classified. Examples: `Puma`; `Monoclea`
#> • scientificName: 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. Examples: `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.) J.T. Howell` (genus + specificEpithet + taxonRank +
#> infraspecificEpithet + scientificNameAuthorship); `×Agropogon littoralis (Sm.)
#> C. E. Hubb.`; `Mentha ×smithiana R. A. Graham`; `Agrostis stolonifera L. ×
#> Polypogon monspeliensis (L.) Desf.`
