TDWG standards www.tdwg.org/standards/, such as Darwin Core, underpin the bulk of biodiversity data shared globally today via e.g., @gbif.org (Global Biodiversity Information Facility), iDigBio. The organization has come a long way from its taxonomic databases history, but TDWG still sticks.
Standards
From Darwin Core to WGSRPD TDWG standards aid the exchange of biodiversity information.

@bugeric.bsky.social not a big fan of acronyms either. TDWG (pronounced TAD-wig) is a legacy for Taxonomic Databases Working Group—still its official name for tax purposes. Today it is the more descriptive Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) tdwg.org. 300-character limit encourages shortcuts.
