Hi Scott,
Thanks for your quick responses.
Thanks for the feedback, as always
coordinateUncertaintyInMeters is what I wanted, thanks for pointing that out. Does that field ever show up in search results though? e.g., from /occurrence/search I haven't seen it yet, but it does show up in verbatim results, e.g. http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/1088909149/verbatim . But in the non-verbatim record of the same occurrence key coordinateUncertaintyInMeters isn't in the record http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/1088909149/
That looks suspicious… http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-2795
Anyway, my users have requested this data (i.e., coordinateUncertaintyInMeters), but going to verbatim records for each occurrence key seems like a tedious approach. Will coordinateUncertaintyInMeters be populated in the results returned by the /occurrence/search route sometime in the future? If not, I can direct them to verbatim occurrence records.
It should be the not too distant future, but we are short staffed right now due to holidays - I’d expect around September / October realistically before another release that involved data store changes… I wish it could be sooner.
Thanks, Tim
Best, Scott
p.s. the occurrenceDetails field somehow got `http://unknown.org/%60 appended to the beginning of the field name, e.g, http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/1088909149/ - I assume that is an error
Indeed http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-2796

Our processing right now only recognizes dwc:coordinatePrecision as a source for the accurracy: https://github.com/gbif/occurrence/blob/master/occurrence-processor/src/main...
As you have seen there is an open issue still to also interpret the uncertainty in meters: http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-1804
We need to check if it is never populated which would be a bug, Markus

Hi Scott,
I don’t recall any coordinateAccurracy but I might be mistaken
There are coordinateUncertaintyInMeters and coordinatePrecision - could it be those you were thinking of? We only return the verbatim values, and don’t do any parsing of those.
Thanks, Tim

Hi all,
Did the coordinateAccurracy used to exist and was removed at some point? I can see mention of it e.g., here http://dev.gbif.org/issues/browse/POR-1804?jql=text%20~%20%22coordinateAccur... - but perhaps it has been removed?
I can see that the elevationAccuracy field is returned with many records, but haven't seen coordinateAccurracy in any records.
Thanks! Scott _______________________________________________ API-users mailing list API-users@lists.gbif.org http://lists.gbif.org/mailman/listinfo/api-users
