DwC_Views provides implementation of viewers for Darwin Core records. The implementation is structured as two major components: the gateway, and the browser.
The gateway is a Django application that acts as a proxy and cache for resources that expose Darwin Core records. It supports a simple service interface for retrieving records and exposes them as JSON objects that can be rendered by JavaScript in the web browser. The API is described under /docs.
The browser is a set of JavaScript and HTML that enables viewing of record lists and individual records, as well as other metadata retrieved from the gateway.
Overview of components influencing this project. Components within the DwC Views package are being implemented here.
