"OBSERVATION_ID",":[*ID->/*s/individualOrganism/*sID->/*s/taxonNameUsageConcept/partyWithRole/*ID->/parties/party/organizationName=$/_ignore/inLabel]/simpleUserdefined[name=sourceaccessioncode]/value","Brad: Neither is correct; this is just an internal ID for table plotObservations. However, it has the important property of uniquely identifying an ""observation"", which is an individual tree, in the case of an individual observation, or a records of a species with an associated count of individuals or measurement of percent cover, in the case of aggregate observations. Not sure where to store this. Main point is that it is not part of the original data, but an auto_increment added later."

"census_no","/simpleUserdefined[name=censusNo]/value","Brad: Assigned by SALVIAS. 1 for first plot, then 2, 3, etc. I can't recall if we even have repeat censuses in SALVIAS. Probably not."

"census_date","/*ID->/*s/plotObservation/obsStartDate/_date/year",

"individual_code","/simpleUserdefined[name=individualCode]/value","Brad: Code, if any, used by the data provider to indicate an individual tree. Scope is unknown, although typically this value is unique only within plot, or sometimes only within subplot."

"ind_id",,"Brad: OMIT"

"tag1","/*ID->/*s/individualOrganism/identificationLabel","Brad: Another type of code, typically a number, used by the original data provider to indicate an individual tree. These are numbers on physical tags attached to the tree. Tag2 Is the same thing, only used if the first tag was lost. Obviously not a good system as it's possible a tree tag could be lost and changed more than once."
