The CatalogNumber as a numeric value, if applicable. This element allows searching on numeric ranges of CatalogNumbers. The name(s) of the person(s) who applied the currently accepted ScientificName to the object or observation. The four digit year in the Common Era calendar in which the object or observation was identified as having the ScientificName. The two digit month in the Common Era calendar during which the object or observation was identified. The two digit day of the month in the Common Era calendar during which the object or observation was identified. An identifying string applied to the object or observation at the time of collection. Serves as a link between field notes and the object or observation. An identifying string applied to a set of objects or observations resulting from a single collecting event. A flag marking the existence of, or a reference to, notes taken in the field for the object or observation. The verbatim original representation of the date (and time) information for the collecting event. Example: "spring 1910" A text representation of the altitude in its original format in the source database. Example: "1000 +- meters" A text representation of the depth in its original format in the source database. Example: "100 to 200 ft below sea level" A text representation of the coordinate data (Latitude/Longitude, UTM, TRS, etc.) in its original format in the source database. Example: "470999 1234300" The name of the system in which the original geographic coordinates were recorded. Examples: "decimal degrees", "degrees minutes seconds", "degrees decimal minutes", "UTM" Comments about the geographic coordinate determination. A reference to the methods used for determining the coordinates and uncertainties. Example: "http://elib.cs.berkeley.edu/manis/GeorefGuide.html" A list of maps, gazetteers or other resources used to georeference the locality. The content of this concept is meant to be specific enough to allow anyone in the future to use the same resource to georeference the same locality. Example: "Alexandria Digital Library Gazetteer" The extent to which the georeference has been verified to represent the location where the specimen or observation was collected. A concatenated list of preparations and preservation methods for the object. Examples: "skin", "skull", "skeleton", "whole animal (ETOH)", "tissue (EDTA)" A list of one or more nomenclatural types (including type status and typified taxonomic name) represented by the object. Example: "holotype of Ctenomys sociabilis. Pearson O. P., and M. I. Christie. 1985. Historia Natural, 5(37):388."). GenBank Accession number(s) associated with the biological individual(s) referred to by the cataloged object. A list of previous or alternative fully qualified catalog numbers for the same object or observation, whether in the current collection or in any other. One or more GlobalUniqueIdentifiers (cf. DarwinCore2 conceptual schema) of related objects or observations, optionally preceded by the nature of the relationship. Example: "(sibling of) URN:catalog:MVZ:Mammal:1234" The current disposition of the cataloged item. Examples: "in collection", "missing", "voucher elsewhere", "duplicates elsewhere" The number of individuals present in the lot or container. Not to be used for observations. Free text comments accompanying the object or observation record. A concrete digir:listType specifying all elements available for multiCOP operations.
