Malacocincla perspicillata sighting is not a specimen

[mdoering]

The first observation incl photo of Malacocincla perspicillata for 170 years in 2020 is not a preserved specimen.
Please correct https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:basisOfRecord to be HumanObservation.

Context
GBIF occurrence
Plazi reference

[myrmoteras]

we only have materialsCitations that turn into occurrences in GBIF, an issue known on both sides.

Not sure, whether we can fix this on our side right now.

[mdoering]

I assume you just mark all material citations as PreservedSpecimen in Darwin Core. But that example proves this is not necessarily correct - even though the vast majority must be. How about allowing to configure the BoR for an entire dataset and default to PreservedSpecimen? Then you could at least manually switch to Occurrence, HumanObservation or MachineObservation?

Will explore and get back to you. Today's new species: http://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/static/newToday.html

Thanks. I can imagine for new species descriptions it is also more common to not kill the subject.

[myrmoteras]

I guess this not killing is not reality yet and has a huge resistance in the community.
