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>
