Table 4.
Title | Data type | Description |
---|---|---|
Country | Category | The country that the site sampled was in. |
Site type | Category | Sites can be a point, a polygon or multiple-points, as described in the geo-positioning section. |
Site name | Free text | Name of the field site sampled. |
Latitude | Decimal number | For ‘point’ sites only, the geographical coordinates are given in decimal degrees. This field is duplicated multiple times to record instances where samples from more than one ‘point’ site were pooled before testing. |
Longitude | Decimal number | For ‘point’ sites only, the geographical coordinates are given in decimal degrees. This field is duplicated multiple times to record instances where samples from more than one ‘point’ site were pooled before testing. |
Admin level | Category | If the site is a ‘polygon’ that matches an administrative unit, the administrative level (0, 1 or 2) is recorded. |
GAUL code | Integer | If the site is a ‘polygon’ that matches an administrative unit, the identifier from the Global Administrative Units Layer is recorded. |
These data fields are included in all 8 data files and are described further in the data geo-referencing section of the text. GAUL is the Global Administrative Units Layer.
