The Chronometric Age extension is a vocabulary maintained by the Darwin Core Maintenance Interest Group. It includes a glossary of terms (in other contexts these might be called properties, elements, fields, columns, attributes, or concepts) intended to facilitate the sharing of information about chronometric ages and the techniques used to determine them by providing identifiers, labels, and definitions.
