Revision 4076

schemas/vegbien.sql: Moved collectionnumber from specimenreplicate to plantobservation to replace authorplantcode, since these terms are used analogously in plots and specimens data. This code is really the DwC recordNumber (VegBIEN collectionnumber), which "serves as a link between field notes and an Occurrence record, such as a specimen [or plots data] collector's number" (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/#recordNumber). Also, this prevents a specimenreplicate from incorrectly being created when plots data provides an authorplantcode.

Probably not."

Used in line-intercept methodology only, describes the point along centerline at which an individual intercepts the center line of the plot. Used to determin relative abundance."

PlotObsID,/location/locationevent/taxonoccurrence/aggregateoccurrence/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."

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."
