1. Introduction

 Audience: This document is targeted toward those who need a reference (lists and definitions) to the essential information 
-about the recommended values of the dcterms:type term.
+about the recommended values of the basisOfRecord Darwin Core term.
 

-The Darwin Core Type Vocabulary is a recommended set of terms for categorizing Darwin Core resources (records). 
-The Type Vocabulary includes terms from  the Dublin Core Type Vocabulary 
-[DCMI-TYPE]. 
-The dcterms:type term should be limited to the names of Classes and should be 
-populated with the Name of the Class for the data in the resource. For example, a record of a Taxon should have 
-Taxon as the value of the dcterms:type term.
-The basisOfRecord is a separate term that should be populated with 
-the value that best describes the the resource within the class given in the 
-dcterms:type term. The 
-basisOfRecord can be viewed as the subtype of the Class in the type term, 
-with its own controlled vocabulary.
+The Type Vocabulary is a recommended set of values to use for the basisOfRecord term 
+to categorize Darwin Core resources. The Darwin Core Type Vocabulary extends and refines terms from the 
+Dublin Core Type Vocabulary [DCMI-TYPE] to describe and 
+categorize resources more specifically for biodiversity applications. The basisOfRecord should be populated with 
+the value from the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary that best corresponds to the resource being shared.
