Accuracy of the coordinates #9

Open shahmanash opened 3 years ago

shahmanash commented 3 years ago

The records in the virtual herbarium indicate the accuracy of the coordinates with values like Precision: 500m Please check and confirm that it is being added to appropriate field in the database The following are the DarwinCore terms that could be used.

coordinatePrecision https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:coordinatePrecision

coordinateUncertaintyInMeters https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters

Although the value is presented in the Virtual Herbarium's UI as Precision, eg: Precision: 500m, http://herbarium.emg.umu.se/record.php?InstitutionCode=GB&AccessionNo=GB-0152378&Page=1&AaccNr=GB-0152378&Ainst=GB&Acoll=&Aid=95148335&nrRecords=1) , it should probably be coordinateUncertaintyInMeters by definition.

Yes, the relevant DwC term is

coordinateUncertaintyInMeters https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters

The column must be added to the Virtuella Herbarium export, processed (renamed) by the import module and mapped to the correct IPT/DwC column.

The field coordinateUncertaintyInMeters in the export file should be mapped to coordinateUncertaintyInMeters double DEFAULT NULL
