    Dimitri brings up an important issue.   I think this whole list of
    allowable values of basisOfRecord needs to be thought over. The
    available controlled values do not meet the needs of earth
    observation, where we work with quantitative data.<br>
    <br>
    My working list of values looks like below.  Each of them also
    requires an individualCount, if possible:<br>
    <br>
    1. Sighting (of live individuals from a distance, without
    intervention from an observer)<br>
    <br>
    2. Observation (of captured, verified individuals, but no particular
    sampling scheme)<br>
    <br>
    3. Monitoring (part of a scheme, where all individuals have been
    counted, resulting in a quantitative estimate of abundance, and lack
    of related record means abscence)<br>
    <br>
    Ideally, the protocol is also described in more detail for the
    entire dataset, in an EML document.  That applies in particular for
    Monitoring data, where we may be reasoning about abscence. <br>
    <br>
    I do not list specimens above.  Specimens may be preserved as
    evidence of observation and monitoring. (It is understood that a
    specimen record implies an occurrence.)  Literature records and
    photographs are similar, as they may link to any of the above
    categories.<br>
    <br>
    Would it make sense to split basisOfRecord into two terms, which are
    "occurrenceType" and "evidenceType"?<br>
