Concepts

Number of concepts
29
This table lists all the concepts defined in this schema.

Name
The name of the concept
Type
The data type of the concept
Null?
Nillable. Y = Yes, N = No
Search?
Searchable. Y = Yes, N = No
Return?
Returnable. Y = Yes, N = No
Name Type Null? Search? Return? Annotation
DateLastModified xsd:dateTime N Y Y ISO 8601 date and time in UTC(GMT) when the record was last modified. Example: “November 5, 1994, 8:15:30 am, US Eastern Standard Time” would be “1994–11-05T13:15:30Z” (see http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime).
BasisOfRecord xsd:string N Y Y A description indicating whether the record represents an observation, tissue sample, living organism, voucher specimen, germplasm/seed, genetic information, etc.
InstitutionCode xsd:string N Y Y A code that identifies the institution to which the cataloged item belongs. No global registry exists for institutional codes; use the code that is “standard” in your discipline. This attribute must contain no spaces.
CollectionCode xsd:string N Y Y A unique alphanumeric value that identifies the collection within the institution in which the item is cataloged. This attribute must contain no spaces.
HigherGeography xsd:string N Y N The combination of all geographic elements less specific than locality. “Like” query operations on this element will search for a substring in any of the higher geography attributes.
ContinentOcean xsd:string N Y Y The full, unabbreviated name of the continent or ocean from which the cataloged item was collected.
IslandGroup xsd:string N Y Y The full, unabbreviated name of the island group from which the cataloged item was collected.
Island xsd:string N Y Y The full, unabbreviated name of the island from which the cataloged item was collected.
Country xsd:string N Y Y The full, unabbreviated name of the country or major political unit from which the cataloged item was collected.
StateProvince xsd:string N Y Y The full, unabbreviated name of the state, province, or region (i.e., the next smaller political region than Country) from which the cataloged item was collected.
County xsd:string N Y Y The full, unabbreviated name of the county, shire, or municipality (i.e., the next smaller political region than StateProvince) from which the cataloged item was collected.
Locality xsd:string N Y Y The description of the locality from which the cataloged item was collected, sans geographic information provided in other geographic fields.
DecimalLatitude N Y Y The latitude of the location from which the cataloged item was collected, expressed in decimal degrees.
DecimalLongitude N Y Y The longitude of the location from which the cataloged item was collected, expressed in decimal degrees.
HorizontalDatum xsd:string N Y Y The horizontal geodetic datum to which the DecimalLatitude and DecimalLongitude refer.
OriginalCoordinateSystem xsd:string N Y Y The name of the system in which the original geographic coordinates were recorded (e.g., “decimal degrees”, “degrees minutes seconds”, “UTM”, etc.).
VerbatimCoordinates xsd:string N Y Y A text representation of the original geographic coordinate data (Latitude/Longitude, UTM, TRS, etc.) in its original format in the source database.
GeorefMethod xsd:string N Y Y A reference to the methods used for determining the coordinates and uncertainties.
GeorefVerificationStatus xsd:string N Y Y The extent to which the georeference has been verified to represent the location where a Cataloged Item was collected.
CoordinateUncertaintyInMeters xsd:decimal N Y Y The upper limit of the distance (in meters) from the given latitude and longitude describing a circle within which the whole of the described locality must lie. Use NULL where the uncertainty is unknown, cannot be estimated, or is not applicable.
LatLongComments xsd:decimal N Y Y Comments about the LatLong determination.
BoundingBox xsd:string N Y N This access point provides a mechanism for performing searches using a bounding box. A Bounding Box element is not typically present in the database, but rather is derived from the DecimalLatitude and DecimalLongitude columns by the data provider.
MinimumElevationInMeters xsd:decimal N Y Y The minimum distance in meters above (positive) or below sea level of the collecting locality.
MaximumElevationInMeters xsd:decimal N Y Y The maximum distance in meters above (positive) or below sea level of the collecting locality.
VerbatimElevation xsd:string N Y Y A text representation of the Elevation in its original format in the source database.
MinimumDepthInMeters xsd:decimal N Y Y The minimum distance in meters below the surface of the water at which the collection was made; all material collected was at least this deep. Positive below the surface, negative above (e.g., collecting above sea level in tidal areas).
MaximumDepthInMeters xsd:decimal N Y Y The maximum distance in meters below the surface of the water at which the collection was made; all material collected was at most this deep. Positive below the surface, negative above (e.g., collecting above sea level in tidal areas).
VerbatimDepth xsd:string N Y Y A text representation of the Depth in its original format in the source database.
SpecimenCount xsd:nonNegativeInteger N Y Y The number of individuals present in the lot or container referred to by the catalog number. Not an estimate of abundance or density at the collecting locality.
