I went through the mapping of the following Darwin Core terms: behavior, lifeStage, occurrenceRemarks, reproductiveCondition and samplingProtocol. For the following terms, some adaptations are required to fit the natuurpunt vocabularies:

behavior

  • collected is not integrated in the vocabulary for behavior and should be NA instead (thus obsbe_act = COLLECTED has no value for behavior)

occurrenceRemarks

  • collected is not integrated in the vocabulary for occurrenceRemarks and should be NA instead (thus obsbe_act = COLLECTED has no value for occurrenceRemarks)
  • Use | as a separator for multiple values, rather then ; (mark: there's a space before and after the hash)

samplingPrototcol

  • There's only one value allowed for samplingProtocol. Now, the field often contains a combination between casual observation and another sampling protocol. Instead, casual observation is the default value, used only when no alternatives are presented. This is why I suggest to map obsbe_act and obsbe_method directly to samplingProtocol, rather then joining the content of the intermediary columns act_samplingProtocol and met_samplingProtocol. The mapping should look like this (use a case_when statement):
obsbe_act obsbe_method samplingprotocol
CAMERATRAP (...) camera trap
CATCH (...) catch
CATCH_ELECTRIC (...) catch by electrofishing
CATCH_POLE (...) catch by fishing rod
CATCH_NET (...) catch by net
COLLECTED (...) specimen collected
WITH_DETECTORHUNTING (...) observation with bat detector
FLASHLIGHT_NIGHT_OBSERVATION (...) observation with flashlight
IN_PELLET (...) pellet examination
COLLECTED (...) specimen collected
(...) BATDETECTOR observation with bat detector
(...) CAMERATRAP camera trap
(...) CAUGHT catch
(...) CAUGHT_ELECTRIC catch by electrofishing
(...) CAUGHT_BY_HAND catch by hand
(...) CAUGHT_BY_HAND_AND_COLLECTED catch by hand and collected
(...) CAUGHT_NET catch by net
(...) CAUGHT_POLE catch by pole
(...) BEATING_SCREEN catch by screen
(...) COLOURTRAP colour trap
(...) HEARD heard
(...) LIGHTTRAP light trap
(...) IN_PELLET pellet examination
(...) SEEN seen
(...) SEEN_AND_HEARD seen and heard
(...) INDOORS seen indoors
(...) SOUNDTRAPPED sound trap
(...) SPOTLIGHT_NIGHT_OBSERVATION spotlight
(...) TRACK_BED track bed
(...) (...) casual observation

WITH_DETECTORHUNTING is used for other mammals than bats. I suggest as value for samplingprotocol "observation with detector". O.K.?

Does WITH_DETECTORHUNTING imply the use of a bat detector, or are there other detectors? If so, best to use the already existing value observation with bat detector, otherwise observation with detector is ok.

WITH_DETECTORHUNTING does not imply anything about the detector. It can be a camera trap, a bat detector... There are sightings of Ovis orientalis musimon as well as of bats with this code (not proposed anymore to users, but we have to deal with old sightings too).
