The IOOS Marine Life Data Network recommends aligning data that observes a species at a location and time to the DarwinCore Standard. Currently, there are various tools and resources available to check if a package matches the DarwinCore standard:
Most of these checkers have some prerequisite requirements of installing additional software or creating an account in a system. Something that could be useful to the IOOS DMAC community would be an online web checker for DarwinCore, similar to the IOOS Compliance Checker - https://compliance.ioos.us/index.html, that doesn't require a log in and checks for additional aquatic characteristics in a dataset.
The idea is that this could be a relatively simple checker for the community to use to ensure their workflows are aligning with the standard.
