Hi Scott, coordinateAccurracy is the uncertainty radius for lat/lon in decimal degrees which we interpret and keep directly on the Occurrence class: https://github.com/gbif/gbif-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/gbif/api/mode... https://github.com/gbif/dwc-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/gbif/dwc/terms...
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
