The Paleo Core Schema is an implementation of Darwin Core for paleoanthropology that draws from the Darwin Core standard terms and from the ChronometricAge extension. Additionally, Paleo Core introduces new classes for archaeological and geological occurrences along with new attributes appropriate to these classes. These changes also precipitate minor reassignments of attributes between occurrence classes. Below is a listing of the data standards and ontologies that contribute to the Paleo Core Schema.
