Documentation required for loading media files from Darwin Core Archives #301

Closed ansell closed 4 years ago

ansell commented 5 years ago

It is currently difficult to analyse the code related to loading media files from inside of Darwin Core Archives (not using web URLs). This is currently blocking loading sounds for ANWC, but the documentation should also show how to loading images direct from Darwin Core Archives that have not been hosted on websites.

ansell commented 4 years ago

My current impression from reading the newly changed source code is that the documentation for this will be

  1. The core must have its rowType as:
http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/Occurrence
  1. The extension containing the media links must have its rowType as either:
http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/Image

or, preferably, 

http://rs.gbif.org/terms/1.0/Multimedia
  1. The extension media links must be in a column named identifier
