The information displayed on the landing page when you click on a specific record could be simplified. I realize that it is simply displaying all of the information in DarwinCore, but it might be nice to have a simpler, glossier page to encourage the uninitiated user. Keep the "All Terms" page, but don't make it the landing page. A simpler landing page with the following would probably be nicer: Institution Code, Collection Code, CatalogNumber,Preparations, EventDate (OR Day, Month, Year), Country, State, County, Locality, DecimalLatitude, DecimalLongitude. Also, for that landing page, I would make the information at the top be the collection catalog number information, followed by the species idnetification, and then the locality. Keep it simple to encourage new users, but then have the All Data page also still available.
