coordinateAccurracy is the uncertainty radius for lat/lon in decimal degrees which we interpret and keep directly on the Occurrence class:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/gbif/gbif-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/gbif/api/model/occurrence/Occurrence.java#L121" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/gbif/gbif-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/gbif/api/model/occurrence/Occurrence.java#L121</a><br>

<br>
Our processing right now only recognizes dwc:coordinatePrecision as a source for the accurracy:<br>

<br>
As you have seen there is an open issue still to also interpret the uncertainty in meters:<br>

<br>
<br>
We need to check if it is never populated which would be a bug,<br>
