PlantFungusDescription,"/taxonImportance/stemCount/stemLocation/definedValue[*_ID/userDefined[tableName=stemLocation,userDefinedName=plantFungusDescription]:[userDefinedType=varchar]]:[@fkey=tableRecord_ID]/definedValue","Brad: Incorrect mapping to VB, also possibly to VX;  this is the specimenDescription field, as used by this institution (NOT a standard DwC element). Very important! Bob, Nick, where would this go in VB and VX?"

Substrate,"/taxonImportance/stemCount/stemLocation/definedValue[*_ID/userDefined[tableName=stemLocation,userDefinedName=substrate]:[userDefinedType=varchar]]:[@fkey=tableRecord_ID]/definedValue","Brad: Incorrect mapping to VB and VX; refers to geological substrate or soils where specimen collected. Often concatenated with habitat, or included with specimen description. Bob, Nick, is there an element for this in VB/VX, or shall we just use userDefined?"

Vegetation,"/taxonImportance/stemCount/stemLocation/definedValue[*_ID/userDefined[tableName=stemLocation,userDefinedName=vegetation]:[userDefinedType=varchar]]:[@fkey=tableRecord_ID]/definedValue","Brad: Free-text description of vegetation community where collected, frequently redundane wrt 'Habitat'.

Collector,"/taxonInterpretation[ROLE_ID/aux_Role/roleCode=collector]/collector_ID/party/{givenName/_namePart/first,middleName/_namePart/middle,surName/_namePart/last}",Brad: Correct for VB. Nick: is there a way to specifically identify this party as collector of a specimen?

Sex,"/taxonInterpretation[ROLE_ID/aux_Role/roleCode=collector]/definedValue[*_ID/userDefined[tableName=taxonInterpretation,userDefinedName=sex]:[userDefinedType=varchar]]:[@fkey=tableRecord_ID]/definedValue","Brad: OMIT. Apparently not used by this institution and of uncertain applicability to plants. With other collections, *sometimes* used for phenological information (if specimen in flower, in fruit, sterile, etc.). If so, this is important information we should keep. Bob, Nick, anywhere for phenological information in VB and VX?; Aaron: Keeping it because it's useful for some collections"
