From Lynn Kutner's Document:

|
Location:
|
|
|
|
Ideally, at least geocoordinates plus an accuracy term. Since there is a considerable amount of historical / legacy data that does not presently have a georeference yet has valuable information that should be included in observation databases and shared, we cannot at this time require data to be in a GIS format.
|
|
|
|
Suggest:
|
|
a) Location information be required, preferably geocoordinates and mapping precision, but if not available then a text description and the finest level of geolocation using the Darwin Core attributes.
|
|
b) Location data include the representation of observations as point, line, or polygon data (with the necessary spatial metadata). |
