| occurrenceID |
An identifier for the Occurrence (as opposed to a particular digital record of the occurrence). |
| basisOfRecord |
Recommended best practice is to use the standard label of one of the Darwin Core classes. |
| scientificName |
The full scientific name, with authorship and date information, if known. When forming part of an Identification, this should be the name in the lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined. This term should not contain identification qualifications, which should instead be supplied in the IdentificationQualifier term. |
| kingdom |
The full scientific name of the kingdom in which the taxon is classified. |
| phylum |
The full scientific name of the phylum or division in which the taxon is classified. |
| class |
The full scientific name of the class in which the taxon is classified. |
| order |
The full scientific name of the order in which the taxon is classified. |
| family |
The full scientific name of the family in which the taxon is classified. |
| geodeticDatum |
The ellipsoid, geodetic datum or spatial reference system (SRS) upon which the geographic coordinates given in decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude are based. |
| coordinateUncertaintyInMetres |
The horizontal distance (in metres) from the given decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude describing the smallest circle containing the whole of the Location. Leave the value empty if the uncertainty is unknown, cannot be estimated or is not applicable (because there are no coordinates). Zero is not a valid value for this term. |
| coordinatePrecision |
A decimal representation of the precision of the coordinates given in the decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude. |
| decimalLatitude |
The geographic latitude (in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system given in geodeticDatum) of the geographic centre of a Location. Positive values are north of the Equator, negative values are south of it. Legal values lie between -90 and 90, inclusive. |
| decimalLongitude |
The geographic longitude (in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system given in geodeticDatum) of the geographic centre of a Location. Positive values are east of the Greenwich Meridian, negative values are west of it. Legal values lie between -180 and 180, inclusive. |
| country |
The name of the country or major administrative unit in which the Location occurs. |
| countryCode |
The standard code for the country in which the Location occurs. |
| individualCount |
The number of individuals represented present at the time of the Occurrence. |
| eventDate |
The date-time or interval during which an Event occurred. For occurrences, this is the date-time when the event was recorded. Not suitable for a time in a geological context. |
| recordedBy |
A person, group or organisation responsible for recording the original Occurrence. |
| identifiedBy |
A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups or organisations who assigned the Taxon to the subject. |
