This is the verbatim text, which includes both collectors name and collection number. I would use coll_number, below."

det_type,/_ignore/voucherType,"Brad: A SALVIAS value referring to the relationship between the voucher specimen and the observation. Affect how the identification of the specimen(latin name) is transferred to the observation. 'direct'=voucher specimen was collected from this same tree; they are one and the same individual. 'indirect'=voucher specimen was collected for a different individual, but the original data provider confirmed that this is the same species. 'default'=basically same as 'indirect'. 'uncollected'=no voucher specimen, data provider  asserted that this was the name but was unable to collect. The main different is that with 'direct', 'indirect', and 'default', the scientific name can be updated automatically based on the name attached to the specimen voucher (assuming you have a link to that data, presumably from a herbarium database. Whereas, if det_type='uncollected', the name can never change because there is no specimen."

individual_code,/aggregateoccurrence/*_id/plantobservation/authorplantcode,"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."

height_m,/aggregateoccurrence/*_id/plantobservation/overallheight,Brad: Incorrect for VegBank. This is a measurement applied to a single tree. Check with Bob

stem_height_m,/aggregateoccurrence/*_id/plantobservation/overallheight,"Brad: Same as for height, but applies to individuals stems, not trees. Rare."
12 1061 aaronmk
OBSERVATION_ID,/aggregateoccurrence/*_id/plantobservation/sourceaccessioncode,"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."

tag1,"/aggregateoccurrence/*_id/plantobservation/stemobservation/stemtag[""""/iscurrent/_alt/2=true]/tag/_alt/1","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.; Quotes sort it before tag2"

stem_tag1,"/aggregateoccurrence/*_id/plantobservation/stemobservation/stemtag[""""/iscurrent/_alt/2=true]/tag/_alt/2","Brad: Same as tag1 & tag2, but applied to individual stems.

x_position,/aggregateoccurrence/*_id/plantobservation/stemobservation/xposition,"Brad: Correct for VegBank. I'm not so sure for VegX. Let's ask Nick about this. These are important, fundamental values of many tree plots, and should be accommodated within VegX."

Not exactly the same as stemCount. An individual tree could have 3 stems but would still only count as 1. We need to check with Bob on this."
