Darwin Core names are sometimes verbose. Consider maximumdistanceabovesurfaceinmeters which is 35 characters long! In an effort to trim that down a bit, we've created the following list of Darwin Core short names that can used in the Prototype Search API.

All of the following queries are valid:

/api/search?maximumdistanceabovesurfaceinmeters=88&year=1901
/api/search?mxa=88&y=1901
/api/search?mxa=88&year=1901
/api/search?maximumdistanceabovesurfaceinmeters=88&y=1901

Here's the table that maps names to short names:
