Example: "RV Sol 87-03-08" 2008-11-19 2009-04-24 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/Code - Footprint Spatial Fit The ratio of the area of the footprint (footprintWKT) 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 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.

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/FootprintSpatialFit (ABCD v2.06b) + Footprint SRS A Well-Known Text (WKT) representation of the Spatial Reference System (SRS) for the footprintWKT of the Location. Do not use this term to describe the SRS of the decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude, even if it is the same as for the footprintWKT - use the geodeticDatum instead. Example: The WKT for the standard WGS84 SRS (EPSG:4326) is "GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]]" without the enclosing quotes. 2009-07-06 2009-07-06 recommended not in ABCD + Footprint WKT A Well-Known Text (WKT) representation of the shape (footprint, geometry) that defines the Location. A Location may have both a point-radius representation (see decimalLatitude) and a footprint representation, and they may differ from each other. Example: the one-degree bounding box with opposite corners at (longitude=10, latitude=20) and (longitude=11, latitude=21) would be expressed in well-known text as POLYGON ((10 20, 11 20, 11 21, 10 21, 10 20)) 2008-11-19 2009-04-24 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/FootprintWKT (ABCD v2.06b) + Formation The full name of the lithostratigraphic formation from which the cataloged item was collected. Examples: "Notch Peak Fromation", "House Limestone", "Fillmore Formation" 2009-04-24 2009-07-06 recommended not in ABCD + Genus The full scientific name of the genus in which the taxon is classified. Examples: "Puma", "Monoclea" 2008-11-19 2009-08-24 recommended {DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Bacterial/GenusOrMonomial or DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Botanical/GenusOrMonomial or DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Viral/GenusOrMonomial or DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Zoological/GenusOrMonomial} + Geodetic Datum The ellipsoid, geodetic datum, or spatial reference system (SRS) upon which the geographic coordinates given in decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude as based. Recommended best practice is use the EPSG code as a controlled vocabulary to provide an SRS, if known. Otherwise use a controlled vocabulary for the name or code of the geodetic datum, if known. Otherwise use a controlled vocabulary for the name or code of the ellipsoid, if known. If none of these is known, use the value "unknown". Examples: "EPSG:4326", "WGS84", "NAD27", "Campo Inchauspe", "European 1950", "Clarke 1866" 2008-11-19 2009-07-06 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/CoordinatesLatLon/SpatialDatum + Geological Context The category of information pertaining to a location within a geological context, such as stratigraphy. 2009-07-06 2009-07-06 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/Stratigraphy + Geological Context ID An identifier for the set of information associated with a GeologicalContext (the location within a geological context, such as stratigraphy).

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. 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 list (concatenated and separated) of preparations and preservation methods for a specimen.

Pearson. 2008-11-19 2009-05-18 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/GatheringAgents/GatheringAgentsText + Record Number An identifier given to the Occurrence at the time it was recorded.
