dwc:continent

A term from the Darwin Core standard:

The name of the continent in which the dcterms:Location occurs.

Notes

Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names. Recommended best practice is to leave this field blank if the dcterms:Location spans multiple entities at this administrative level or if the dcterms:Location might be in one or another of multiple possible entities at this level. Multiplicity and uncertainty of the geographic entity can be captured either in the term dwc:higherGeography or in the term dwc:locality, or both.

Examples

  • Africa
  • Antarctica
  • Asia
  • Europe
  • North America
