Internally in this function we filter data to darwin core terms only. To see what terms we use, do readLines( system.file("extdata", "simple_dwc_terms.txt", package = "rvertnet")). Get in touch with us if these terms need correcting/are out of date. The terms are from https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/blob/master/dist/simple_dwc_horizontal.csv
