Notes

[Tasilee]

Why did I put NOT_CORE? It seems a simple easy to test and useful FLAG right now. As a VALIDATION, it would also add meaningfully to #135 but it also shapes like a NOTIFICATION as per #58?

[ArthurChapman]

I think it was one of those that is empty 90% of the time so would create millions of flags. Thinking back - wasn't there some problem with how people were using occurrenceStatus (i.e. to be more than just Present/Absent? One, I guess, assumes if it is blank, then it is present. Because of this, I think we agreed that it shouldn't be CORE

[Tasilee]

This relates to an existing ALA test of the type we would call NOTIFICATION that says "occurrence status is empty so we are assuming "present". This still seems like a wise thing to me. Yes, it will be flagged a lot, but in this case (as we discussed in Gainesville) - sometimes we need to make a point :) "Please PUT THE OCCURRENCE STATUS IN!"

[ArthurChapman]

I believe this is a VALIDATION not a NOTIFICATION. However, because we have #75 I believe we can delete this one altogether as #75 states that if it is EMPTY then replace with "Present". In spite of @Tasilee's argument above - I think just having an Annotation that says something like "basisOfRecord was EMPTY and it has thus been assumed to be Present" I don't believe (especially in interests of keeping it Simple and the number of annotations as few as possible) I think this is redundant and thus NOT CORE

Replied in last email. We need it to justify the amendment

Splitting bdqffdq:Information Elements into "Information Elements ActedUpon" and "Information Elements Consulted".

Also changed "Field" to "TestField", "Output Type" to "TestType" and updated "Specification Last Updated"
