esites Topic 20: What to do with the Biogeography/Region Field? [DECISION] #20

Closed rondlg closed 2 months ago

rondlg commented 2 years ago

DISCUSSION POINTS:

It is in the Locality Details hierarchy but doesn’t really make sense there

rondlg commented 2 years ago

DECISION(S):

Field separated from the hierarchy and added to the Classification: Political Tab. Use this field for a politically defined region eg. CARICOM, EU etc. Also add a multivalued table to the site tab with “Type” for recording other more biological or physical regions/area eg. biomes, biographical regions eg Nearctic, Polar etc. Should NOT be used for Island/Island grouping hierarchy values.
