Data set 1.

Column label Column description
scientificName The full scientific name. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/scientificName
taxonRank The taxonomic rank of the most specific name in the scientificName. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/taxonRank
kingdom The full scientific name of the kingdom in which the taxon is classified. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/kingdom
phylum The full scientific name of the phylum or division in which the taxon is classified. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/phylum
class The full scientific name of the class in which the taxon is classified. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/class
family The full scientific name of the family in which the taxon is classified. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/family
genus The full scientific name of the genus in which the taxon is classified. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/genus
specificEpithet The name of the first or species epithet of the scientificName. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/specificEpithet
infraspecificEpithet The name of the lowest or terminal infraspecific epithet of the scientificName, excluding any rank designation. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/infraspecificEpithet
stateProvince The name of the next smaller administrative region than country. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/stateProvince
municipality The full, unabbreviated name of the next smaller administrative region than county. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/municipality
locality The specific description of the place. Less specific geographic information can be provided in other geographic terms (higherGeography, continent, country, stateProvince, county, municipality, waterBody, island, islandGroup). This term may contain information modified from the original to correct perceived errors or standardise the description. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/locality
decimalLatitude The geographic latitude (in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system given in geodeticDatum) of the geographic centre of a Location. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/decimalLatitude
decimalLongitude The geographic longitude (in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system given in geodeticDatum) of the geographic centre of a Location. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/decimalLongitude
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. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/coordinateUncertaintyInMeters
georeferencedBy A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups or organisations who determined the georeference (spatial representation) for the Location. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/georeferencedBy
establishmentMeans The process by which the biological individual(s) represented in the Occurrence became established at the location. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/establishmentMeans
year The four-digit year in which the Event occurred, according to the Common Era Calendar. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/year
recordedBy A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups or organisations responsible for recording the original Occurrence. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/recordedBy
identifiedBy A list (concatenated and separated) of names of people, groups or organisations who assigned the Taxon to the subject. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/identifiedBy
сollectionCode The name, acronym, coden or initialism identifying the collection or dataset from which the record was derived. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/collectionCode
geodeticDatum The ellipsoid, geodetic datum or spatial reference system (SRS) upon which the geographic coordinates given in decimalLatitude and decimalLongitude are based. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/geodeticDatum
basisOfRecord The specific nature of the data record. Included value: HumanObservation. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/basisOfRecord
countryCode The standard code for the country in which the Location occurs. Included value: RU. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/countryCode
country The name of the country or major administrative unit in which the Location occurs. Included value: Russia http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/country
occurrenceID An identifier for the Occurrence (as opposed to a particular digital record of the occurrence). In the absence of a persistent global unique identifier, construct one from a combination of identifiers in the record that will most closely make the occurrenceID globally unique. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/occurrenceID
institutionCode The name (or acronym) in use by the institution having custody of the object(s) or information referred to in the record. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/institutionCode
language A language of the resource. Included value: ru. http://purl.org/dc/terms/language
associatedReferences A list (concatenated and separated) of identifiers (publication, bibliographic reference, global unique identifier, URI) of literature associated with the Occurrence. http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/associatedReferences
