Additional value cells for domain items

[lamcduffie]

I have a domain called "Unit ID", which defines which unit was surveyed for birds on a particular date. Each unit has a corresponding latitude and longitude. I would like to include this information, but I do not see a logical spot to add this. Right now I have included both the lat and long in the "value" field, separated by a comma. I don't believe that having two values in the same data cell is a "best" practice.

The lat and long are in the raw data file, but I would like to include this information in the metadata for easy look-ups in the future.

Thanks!

If necessary, I would recommend putting the coordinates in the definition, e.g. "E of Ammo Country(61.308592, -149.78199)" or something similar. The domain value should be set to the Unit ID or equivalent representative value that is being used in the associated attribute - in this case I would assume that is the Unit ID. Note, domains are a named set of scalar values, so there's no provision for cardinality > 1.

You could also create a Geographic Extent in the related Metadata Record with the survey unit locations and associate the name and description.
