Thanks for the insight, Kyle.

We will go for the HumanObservation. 

All the best,

It includes the value “Occurrence”, however, its definition warns users that it is ambiguous and that it should only be used when the resource type is unknown.

> Dear GBIF Friends,

> In the IPT v2.3.2 it is possible to select the default value “Occurrence” for the basisOfRecord in the mapping screen. This value is not in the basisOfRecord Enum [1]. Is this a replacement of the “observation” value? If so, does this value has the same purpose als the old Observation value?
