Welcome to Python Darwin Core Archive’s documentation!#

This library was implemented to contribute to the ecological and bioinformatics community to help automate the process of standardize biodiversity data using Python.

The principal purpose of this package is:

  • To work with Darwin Core Archive files using the data analytics tool of Python. Facilitating the importing of this data to be processed using Python scripts or Jupyter Notebooks.

  • To generate a standard and sharable file to the biodiversity research community from data in other formats (like relational database) using Python.

This code was implemented following the specifications of the Darwin Core Archive guide and the Ecological Metadata Language Specifications.

Use cases, possible needed features or bug reports are welcome and encourage using our GitHub Issues Page.
