fieldObservation probably maps sanely onto HumanObservation.
unknown maps sanely onto Occurrence "NOTE: this value is ambiguous and hence should only be used when the when the resource type is unknown"
This type vocabulary doesn't include a sane type for data derived from the literature. This type vocabulary claims to extend the Dublin Core type vocabulary, so data sourced from the literature should probably be able to map to Text http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text. Whether IPT, on a technical level, treats the DarwinCore type vocabulary as an extension of the DublinCore type vocabulary and treats values from dcmitype as valid is another question.

Dear Dimitri,
To satisfy the IPT’s requirements, you can translate your source’s values into values that match the Darwin Core Type vocabulary [1]. More information about the translation feature is available in the mapping section of the user manual [2].
Best regards, Kyle

Dear,
I was wondering, in DwC it is stated:
Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the list of Darwin Core classes. Examples: "PreservedSpecimen", "FossilSpecimen", "LivingSpecimen", "HumanObservation", "MachineObservation". For discussion see http://terms.tdwg.org/wiki/dwc:basisOfRecord
As far as I understand, this is not mandatory and we have been using terms which are not in the 'supposed' controlled vocabulary on the tdwg site....
Publishing version #22.1 of resource belgian-coccinellidae-inbo-occurrences failed: Archive generation for resource belgian-coccinellidae-inbo-occurrences failed: Can't validate DwC-A for resource belgian-coccinellidae-inbo-occurrences. Each row in the occurrence file(s) must have a basisOfRecord, and each basisOfRecord must match the Darwin Core Type Vocabulary (please note comparisons are case insensitive) Continue to resource overview.
My problem is that IPT refuses to republish my previously published datasets where we use terms like: 'literatureObservation' , 'literature', fieldObservation or 'unknown
What to do?
Chrs, Dimi
