=== Non-standardized BasisOfRecord Values === | |||
'''Problem:''' Values in the [https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord BasisOfRecord] field do not match the recommended controlled vocabulary. While using standardized terms in this field is not strictly necessary, doing so does improve the discoverability and interoperability of your data. | |||
The currently accepted values for BasisOfRecord include: MaterialEntity, PreservedSpecimen, FossilSpecimen, LivingSpecimen, MaterialSample, Event, HumanObservation, MachineObservation, Taxon, Occurrence, MaterialCitation. | |||
Note that even punctuation and capitalization differences in these values (e.g., Preserved Specimen) are discouraged. | |||
