Conservation Codes - How are they recorded in DwC? #184

Open gwittich opened 2 years ago

gwittich commented 2 years ago

Is there a filed to record the Conservation code of a species when recording observation data in a survey? For reference: https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/images/documents/plants-animals/threatened-species/Listings/Conservation%20code%20definitions.pdf

I found in a term in the Darwin Core Species Distribution Extension called threatStatus http://rs.gbif.org/extension/gbif/1.0/distribution.xml What do you think?

Hi @gwittich, there is no field in Darwin Core that explicitly covers the concept of conservation status. The closest thing is that threatStatus term mentioned by @miekeGR in the GBIF Species Distribution Extension (not part of the Darwin Core Standard) for Taxon Core datasets. A friendlier way to see that extension is at https://tools.gbif.org/dwca-validator/extension.do?id=gbif:Distribution.
