Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given point-radius does not completely contain the original representation. The pointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the pointRadiusSpatialFit is 1.

Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given footprint does not completely contain the original representation. The footprintSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point and the given georeference is not that same point. If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the footprintSpatialFit is 1.

Example: "Chordata" (phylum), "Bryophyta" (division) 2008-11-19 2009-08-24 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonName with HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonRank = phylum + pointRadiusSpatialFit The ratio of the area of the point-radius (decimalLatitude, decimalLongitude, coordinateUncertaintyInMeters) to the area of the true (original, or most specific) spatial representation of the Location. Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given point-radius does not completely contain the original representation. The pointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the pointRadiusSpatialFit is 1.

A value of 0 should be used if the given georeference does not completely contain the original representation. The FootprintSpatialFit is undefined if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the FootprintSpatialFit is 1.

A value of 0 should be used if the given footprint does not completely contain the original representation. The footprintSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point and the given georeference is not that same point.

The pointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the pointRadiusSpatialFit is 1. Detailed explanations with graphical examples can be found in the "Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing", Chapman and Wieczorek, eds. 2006 (http://www.gbif.org/prog/digit/Georeferencing). 2008-11-19 2009-04-24 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/PointRadiusSpatialFit + Preparations A concatenated list of preparations and preservation methods (skin, skull, skeleton, whole animal (ETOH), slide, etc.) for the cataloged item. 2003-06-17 2003-06-17 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/SpecimenUnit/Preparations/PreparationsText + Preparations A concatenated list of preparations and preservation methods for the object.

Probably best to add this as a record element rather than access point. Should be a list of preparations for a single collection record. 2003-06-13 2003-06-13 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/SpecimenUnit/Preparations/PreparationsText + PreservedSpecimen A resource describing a preserved specimen. 2008-11-19 2008-11-19 deprecated RecordBasisEnum/PreservedSpecimen + PreviousCatalogNumber The previous (fully qualified) catalog number of the Cataloged Item if the item earlier identified by another Catalog Number, either in the current catalog or another Institution / catalog. A fully qualified Catalog Number is preceded by Institution Code and Collection Code, with a space separating the each subelement. Referencing a previous Catalog Number does not imply that a record for the referenced item is or is not present in the corresponding catalog, or even that the referenced catalog still exists. This access point is intended to provide a way to retrieve this record by previously used identifier, which may used in the literature. In future versions of this schema this attribute should be set-valued. 2003-06-13 2003-06-13 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/SpecimenUnit/History/PreviousUnitsText + PreviousIdentifications A list (concatenated and separated) of previous ScientificNames to which the sample was identified.

The primary collector or observer, especially one who applies a personal identifier (recordNumber), should be listed first. Example: "Oliver P. Pearson; Anita K. Pearson" where the value in recordNumber "OPP 7101" corresponds to the number for the specimen in the field catalog (collector number) of Oliver P. Pearson. 2008-11-19 2009-05-18 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/GatheringAgents/GatheringAgentsText + recordNumber An identifier given to the Occurrence at the time it was recorded. Often serves as a link between field notes and an Occurrence record, such as a specimen collector's number. Example: "OPP 7101" 2008-11-19 2009-05-18 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/CollectorsFieldNumber + RecordURL Gives the web address of the page where more information on this particular record (not on the whole dataset) can be found. 2005-07-10 2005-07-10 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/RecordURI + RelatedBasisOfRecord The nature of the related resource. Recommended best practice is to use the same controlled vocabulary as for basisOfRecord. Example: "PreservedSpecimen" 2008-11-19 2009-01-26 deprecated not in ABCD + RelatedCatalogedItems The fully qualified identifier (Institution Code + " " + Collection Code + " " + Catalog Number) of the related Cataloged Item, preceded by the nature of the relationship (e.g., (sibling of) MVZ Mamm 1234). 2003-06-17 2003-06-17 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Associations/UnitAssociation/AssociatedUnitSourceInstitutionCode + DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Associations/UnitAssociation/AssociatedUnitSourceName + DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Associations/UnitAssociation/AssociatedUnitID + RelatedCatalogedItems One or more GlobalUniqueIdentifiers (cf. http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/DarwinCore/GlobalUniqueIdentifier ) of related objects or observations, optionally preceded by the nature of the relationship.

Example: "Julie Woodruff" 2009-04-24 2009-04-24 recommended not in ABCD + relationshipEstablishedDate The date-time on which the relationship between the two resources was established.

It can be a volume (e.g. for a phytoplankton sample), a linear distance (e.g. for a visual transect or net haul), a surface area (e.g. for a benthic core), etc. This field must also include the units, e.g. 200 mfor a transect, or 0.25 m^2 for a benthic grab (use ^ to denote a superscript). Note that When multiple collections/observations are reported from the same physical sample, a code identifying the sample can be placed in the Field_Number field to allow all collections/observations from a single sample to be connected. 2005-07-10 2005-07-10 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/SiteMeasurementsOrFacts/MeasurementOrFact/MeasurementOrFactAtomised/LowerValue + constant + SamplingAttributeID An identifier for the sampling attribute.

There is some suggestion to use the values described in ISO 3166-2 (http://www.iso.ch/cate/d8349.html), however these values are in a continual state of flux and it appears unlikely that an appropriate mechanism (by ISO) will be in place to manage these changes. Hence it is recommended that where possible, the full, unabbreviated name should be used for storing information. The server should optionally handle abbreviations as an access point.

(This is incomplete because type status actually describes the relationship between a name and a specimen [or ternary relatiohnship between a specimen, name, and publication].) In particular, the type status may not apply to the name listed in the scientific name, i.e., current identification. In rare cases, a single specimen may be the type of more than one name. 2003-06-13 2003-06-13 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/SpecimenUnit/NomenclaturalTypeDesignations/NomenclaturalTypeText + TypeStatus A list of one or more nomenclatural types that the cataloged item represents (e.g., "holotype of Ctenomys sociabilis.
