locality_description,locality,"Brad: No; this is free text description of locality where plot was situated, same as for DwC. Not a description of vegetation. Most likely='namedPlace.placeDescription' in VB; not sure about VX, again need to ask Nick where locality descriptions live in VX"

observation_type,,"Brad: SALVIAS internal metadata indicating whether the record represents an individual or aggregate observation. Rather than storing, use to decide where to store in VegX.; Aaron: VegX aggregateOrganismObservation table is missing many fields available in individualOrganismObservation, so we're mapping to individualOrganismObservation regardless of observation type"

recensused,,"Brad: This is a 0/1 value, internal to SALVIAS. 1 indicates that a  plot has >1 set of values, from different census events.; Aaron: Different censuses are distinguished in organisms data by different census_no values"
