Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given point-radius does not completely contain the original representation. The pointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the pointRadiusSpatialFit is 1.

Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given point-radius does not completely contain the original representation. The pointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined (and should be left blank) if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty). If both the original and the given georeference are the same point, the pointRadiusSpatialFit is 1.

Probably best to add this as a record element rather than access point. Should be a list of preparations for a single collection record. 2003-06-13 2003-06-13 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/SpecimenUnit/Preparations/PreparationsText + PreservedSpecimen A resource describing a preserved specimen. 2008-11-19 2008-11-19 deprecated RecordBasisEnum/PreservedSpecimen + PreviousCatalogNumber The previous (fully qualified) catalog number of the Cataloged Item if the item earlier identified by another Catalog Number, either in the current catalog or another Institution / catalog. A fully qualified Catalog Number is preceded by Institution Code and Collection Code, with a space separating the each subelement. Referencing a previous Catalog Number does not imply that a record for the referenced item is or is not present in the corresponding catalog, or even that the referenced catalog still exists. This access point is intended to provide a way to retrieve this record by previously used identifier, which may used in the literature. In future versions of this schema this attribute should be set-valued. 2003-06-13 2003-06-13 superseded DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/SpecimenUnit/History/PreviousUnitsText + PreviousIdentifications A list (concatenated and separated) of previous ScientificNames to which the sample was identified.

The primary collector or observer, especially one who applies a personal identifier (recordNumber), should be listed first. Example: "Oliver P. Pearson; Anita K. Pearson" where the value in recordNumber "OPP 7101" corresponds to the number for the specimen in the field catalog (collector number) of Oliver P. Pearson. 2008-11-19 2009-05-18 recommended DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/GatheringAgents/GatheringAgentsText + recordNumber An identifier given to the Occurrence at the time it was recorded. Often serves as a link between field notes and an Occurrence record, such as a specimen collector's number.

There is some suggestion to use the values described in ISO 3166-2 (http://www.iso.ch/cate/d8349.html), however these values are in a continual state of flux and it appears unlikely that an appropriate mechanism (by ISO) will be in place to manage these changes. Hence it is recommended that where possible, the full, unabbreviated name should be used for storing information. The server should optionally handle abbreviations as an access point.
