Description
As identified by the DWC Terms to Specify spreadsheet, there are a few major terms missing from the default database schema that must be resolved.
These should all be hidden by default initially.
Collecting Object
| Schema Field Name | Field Description | Specify Field Type | DwC Term IRI | Database Field Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disposition | The verbatim state of an object with respect to the collection. Examples: "in collection", "missing", "voucher elsewhere". | text | dwc:disposition |
disposition |
Collecting Event
| Schema Field Name | Field Description | Specify Field Type | DwC Term IRI | Database Field Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Associated Taxa | A list of taxa associated with this occurrence (e.g., host, parasite, or habitat associate). Best practice is to separate values with a pipe. | text | dwc:associatedTaxa |
associatedTaxa |
| Habitat | A category or description of the habitat in which the Event occurred. | text | dwc:habitat |
habitat |
| Type | The nature of the event (e.g., "survey", "opportunistic"). | text | dc:type |
type |
Institution
| Schema Field Name | Field Description | Specify Field Type | DwC Term IRI | Database Field Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| License | A legal document giving official permission to do something with the resource. Recommended best practice is to identify the license using a URI (e.g. http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/). |
Text (URL) | dc:license |
license |
| Dataset Name | The name identifying the data set from which the record was derived. | text | dwc:datasetName |
datasetName |
| Rights Holder | A person or organization owning or managing rights over the resource. | text | dc:rightsHolder |
rightsHolder |
For the license field, it would make sense to provide a list of defaults in a pick list:
| License Name | License URI | Description (for documentation) |
|---|---|---|
| Public Domain (CC0 1.0) | http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ |
No rights reserved. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. |
| Attribution (CC BY 4.0) | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. |
| Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ |
You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may not use the material for commercial purposes. |
For the pick list, we'd need to make the license URI both the value and the title. The description will be useful for documentation going forward.
Locality
| Schema Field Name | Field Description | Specify Field Type | DwC Term IRI | Database Field Name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coordinate Precision | A decimal representation of the precision of the coordinates given in the Decimal Latitude and Decimal Longitude. | text | dwc:coordinatePrecision |
coordinatePrecision |
| Verbatim Coordinates | The verbatim original spatial coordinates of the Location. The coordinate ellipsoid, geodeticDatum, or full Spatial Reference System (SRS) for these coordinates should be stored in Verbatim SRS and the coordinate system should be stored in Verbatim Coordinate System. | text | dwc:verbatimCoordinates |
verbatimCoordinates |
| Verbatim SRS | The ellipsoid, geodetic datum, or spatial reference system (SRS) upon which coordinates given in Verbatim Coordinates are based. Recommended best practice is use the EPSG code. | text | dwc:verbatimSRS |
