Notes BioCASE CODATA TDWG The application of a name (or concept) to a Unit with appropriate metadata. BioCASE CODATA TDWG ABCD Editorial Team HISPID, DarwinCore A complex type that supports the application of a name (or concept) to a Unit (specimen, observation, etc.), with appropriate metadata about the Identification. Also known as Determination. See component elements An Identification must include a TaxonIdentified. At least one instance of this type should be designated as the preferred identification. More than one identification could be marked as preferred, but only in cases where the same taxon has a valid name under two codes of nomenclature. Should TaxonIdentified be called TaxonomicIdentification? and the type TaxonomicIdentificationType. The Taxon (concept) or Taxonomic name assigned to the unit (or excluded, "non") in the Identification. BioCASE CODATA TDWG ABCD Workshop 1 A material identified as the result of the identification event (e.g. a non-organismic substrate of a microorganism) The Person, PersonTeam, or Organization that made the identification.

NBN: determination_date (vague date ) Darwin Core 2 fields: YearIdentified, MonthIdentified, DayIdentified. See DateType for general usage. Identification dates are commonly unknown (element optional), or incompletely known. Missing information reduces precision of the date; i.e., known only to Year or Year and Month. Sometimes identification dates are inferred from a researcher's visit or duration of a loan. 1985-07-14 July 14 July 14, 1985 July 14, 1985 We probably don't need IdentificationDate to support the full range of date time elements that are present in the DateTimeType. It's hard to imagine a realistic case where time of day could be relevant to an identification. If year is unknown, simple text will provide the only function needed -- human readability of the existing information. (Retrieval and sorting by interval in the annual cycle, as we want to support with CollectionDate, is irrelevant in this case.) A single ISO 8061 Date field, along with an IdentificationDate text is sufficient to cover the needs around this concept. -- Blum, 2002-12-10 A reference (e.g. an article or monograph) that was used as the base for the identifier's taxon identification (e.g. by means of providing a key or a description of the taxon). It circumscribes the taxon identified (and thus can act as a “potential taxon’s” ‘sec.’ reference). BioCASE CODATA TDWG HISPID4: vlit. NBN: Source. Issue 1: I think IdentificationReference and IdentificationSource have reversed names and semantics. Source should refer to where the identification is recorded, while "reference" should refer to a publication used to make the determination, but not containing the identification. Issue 2: Should we recommend that "field tag", and "determination slip" be recorded when something "usual" is the IdentificationReference. In my experience, IdentificationReference is not recorded in cases that are typical (e.g., det.slip, field tag). The reference is recorded only when the reference is a published work and when that specimen's identity is a prominent feature of the publication. Simply being listed in the material examined section would not be significant enough to warrant the effort of entering a special IdentificationSource record.

An alternative solution to this unstructured element would be the use of the scientific name structure given under identification It has been suggested to treat the type assignation as a special case of identification. Although this is without doubt true, it would mean to introduce the entire typification structure to the identification structure (because more than on name may be directly typified by the same specimen). As nomeclatural types are only a subtype of specimens, and these are only a subtype of units, it was decided to assign the typified name in the specimen domain. If it is to be found by a normal name search, it should be repeated as an identified name under identifications. Published reference.

Using such identifier, all the person data that is repeated could optionally be retrieved from a directory server somewhere. Keeping track of and certying observers is important if there is no specimen to go back to for verification.

Parts can be omitted from the right, whereas a year is replaced by '--' and only a day would look like '---31'. The hour is expressed as a 2-digit value, left zero padded if necessary, ranging between 01 and 31. This field will nearly always be a representation derived from the date on the specimen. The DateText field is available for recording verbatim date information for generalized or ambiguous dates. The year must be represented as four digits to avoid ambiguity between centuries. Month and Day values are left zero padded to two digits to facilitate machine readability. In the rare instances of multiple exact dates or periods those can be recorded in this DateText field. In the rare instances of dates for periods before the year 0000, BC and similar dates can be recorded in this DateText field. Parts can be omitted from the right, whereas a year is replaced by '--' and only a day would look like '---31'. In the ISO standard element, time can only be specified when there is a full date.
