'''Problem:''' Metadata fields regarding coordinates, such as coordinateUncertaintyInMeters, georeferenceProtocol, georeferenceSources, georeferencedBy, georeferenceRemarks, and geodeticDatum are provided, but no coordinates are present. This is sometimes intentional, particularly when georeferencedBy and georeferencedRemarks are used to indicate whether a record was purposefully not georeferenced. However, it is rare that the other metadata fields can be used without associated coordinates (i.e., decimalLatitude, decimalLongitude, or verbatimCoordinates). | '''Problem:''' Metadata fields regarding coordinates, such as [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters coordinateUncertaintyInMeters], [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:georeferenceProtocol georeferenceProtocol], [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:georeferenceSources georeferenceSources], [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:georeferencedBy georeferencedBy], [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:georeferenceRemarks georeferenceRemarks], and [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:geodeticDatum geodeticDatum] are provided, but no coordinates are present.
