Field name in Darwin Core
The Darwin Core Standard (DwC) offers a stable, straightforward and flexible framework for compiling biodiversity data from varied and variable sources. In order to make your data interpretable for GBIF, you will have to map the columns in your data onto these standard fields. Full lists of available fieldnames can be found here Occurrence and here DNA derived data, which largely corresponds to the MIxS standard.

Field name (term) in Darwin Core
The Darwin Core Standard (DwC) offers a stable, straightforward and flexible framework for compiling biodiversity data from varied and variable sources. In order to make your data interpretable for GBIF, you will have to map the columns (fields) in your data onto these standard terms. Full lists of available terms can be found here (Occurrence core) and here (DNA derived data).

Your field name
Select the field in your data that you want to map to the Darwin Core field. For example, you might want to map your field lat to the Darwin Core term decimalLatitude

Default values
You may also set/select a default value that applies to the entire dataset. Examples of good candidates for default values are target_gene (ITS, COI, 16S, etc), pcr_primer_forward, pcr_primer_reverse, otu_db (the reference database used for taxonomic annotation)

Default/global values
You may also set/select a default (global) value that applies to the entire dataset. Examples of good candidates for default values are target_gene (ITS, COI, 16S, etc), pcr_primer_forward, pcr_primer_reverse, otu_db.
5
Adding measurements
You may have fields that do not fit into the standard set of Darwin Core fields (often various measurements). These can be added to the Extended Measurement Or Facts extension which is a key/value based extension that allows any Measurement type. This is where you can add information about pH, salinity, sample biomass etc.
