Specimen Facade¶
This page describes the needs for specimen part to be implemented during the specimen/eFlora sprint.
See #1671 for the WP6 requirements.
Field name | Example 1 | Example 2 | Diptera | Specimen Facade |
---|---|---|---|---|
Location content type | ||||
country | Germany | Italy | "Country" | set of named areas (TODO seperate for countries, TDWG areas, ...?) |
TDWG unit (state province) | "State province" | see above, TODO | ||
locality | Berlin-Dahlem, E side of Englerallee | Tuscany, … | "Locality" | MultiLanguageString locality |
Altitude (range) | 40 m | - | " Minimum elevation in meters", " Maximum elevation in meters" | !AbsoluteElevation + AbsoluteElevationError; a range is entered as the average and the error must be half the distance of the range - transformation methods exist in the facade but the range distance must be even to work properly |
coordinates latitude (as cache in Point?) | 45°45" N | "Latitude" | exactLocation (2 dimensional Point, error radius, referenceSystem); TODO transformation into degree, minutes, seconds | |
coordinates longitude | 35°45" E | " Longitude" | see above | |
coordinates source (method) / accuracy (unschärfe), geographic datum(?) | Google Earth | "Georeference Protocol", " Coordinate uncertainty in meters" | see above | |
Specimen content type | ||||
- | "Basis of record" | TODO | ||
habitat, ecological data (only field notes) | sand dunes | " Field notes" | !MultiLanguageString Ecology | |
collection date | 38477 | " Earliest date collected", " Latest date collected" | gathering period (!TimePeriod) | |
collector(s) and collection number | Kilian 5678, Müller & Kohlbecker | Kilian, Müller & Kohlbecker 6789 | " Collector", "Collector number" | !AgentBase Collector + String CollectorNumber (new field AgentBase fieldNumberActor ??) |
Exsiccatum & exs. Number (??) | Greuter, Pl. Dahlem. 456 | String exsiccatum (not yet in model !!); also ABCD has as string; for a structured modelling see Diversity Collection | ||
Herbarium (All institution data) & accession number | B 8909756 | WU | " Institution code", " Collection code", " Catalogue number text", | Collection(code, codeStandard, name, townOrLocation, Institution institute, Collection superCollection), accesionNumber, catalogNumber, collectorsNumber |
notes on plant (morphology, phenology etc.) unklar wo das ins Model soll, wenn es nicht strukturiert vorliegt | flowers blue | tree, height 7 m | " Remarks" | !MultiLanguageString PlantDescription |
Determination /Taxon (mehrfach notwendig ??) | det. Meyer | " Identified by", " Date identified, Year" (separately: month, day) | set of determination events(taxon, isPreferred, references, AgentBase determinator, timeperiod, description) | |
literature source (multiple??) | Kilian (1999) | Original sources | ||
links to images | field object media + specimen media | |||
Duplicates | duplicate specimen set (sharing the same last derivation event) | |||
" Type Status" | not implemented in specimen facade but in type modul | |||
" Identification qualifier/modifier" | modifier in determination event | |||
Sex | "Sex" | Sex sex | ||
Life Stage | " Life stage" | Stage lifeStage | ||
Individual count | " Individual count" | individual count (further refinement needed for separating sex and stages ?) | ||
"Genbank number" | TODO | |||
"Other catalogue numbers" | see duplicates | |||
"Field number" | see collectors number | |||
Further fields not on Scratchpads | ||||
Specimen preparation | Preservation Method | |||
Condition of specimen | TODO | |||
Dissection | TODO | |||
Label data | TODO | |||
Further fields available in the specimen facade | ||||
Field Object Definition - Multilanguage freetext to describe the field specimen | ||||
Specimen Definition - Multilanguage freetext to describe the collection specimen | ||||
Distance to Ground | ||||
Distance to water surface | ||||
Gathering Event description - freetext (not multilanguage) to describe the gathering event | ||||
Stored under - the taxon name this specimen is stored under |
Favoured output version of the first example would be:
Germany, Berlin-Dahlem, E side of Englerallee, alt. 40 m, 45°45"N, 35°45"E (Google Earth), sand dunes, 05.05.2005, Kilian 5678, Müller & Kohlbecker; Greuter, Pl. Dahlem. 456 (B 8909756); flowers blue.
Notes:
Segregates refer to the fields in the table
combination of number and collector (exsiccatum, herbarium) is preferred. Otherwise things will be complicated by collection numbers of teams, of individuals in teams etc. (cf. examples 1 and 2)
note use of semicolons and brackets, addition of "alt."
