• modified: remove field
• language: en (not EN) or remove field
• bibliographicCitation: remove field
• datasetID: complete later, leave empty now
• datasetName: for consistency, I suggest:

Florabank2 - A grid-based database on the distribution of mosses in the northern part of Belgium (Flanders and the Brussels Capital region)

Not

• dataGeneralizations: are the data collected at a higher precision than IFBL square? If not, remove this field
• catalogNumber: remove field
• recordedBy: can we share this info? I so, I would use |  as seperator
• individualCount: is this info available?
• occurrenceStatus: add with present
• occurrenceRemarks: it seems like a lot of this info could be translated to samplingProtocol:

losse waarnemingen -> casual observation
...

• eventID: is there one?
• verbatimEventDate: remove field. If a value is a true range (min != max), then write as such in eventDate
• samplingProtocol: is it possible to provide something? See also occurrenceRemarks
• locationID: is there a location id?
• country: remove field
• verbatimLocality: rename to locality
• coordinateUncertaintyInMeters: only needed values are 707 (1 km) and 2828 (4 km)
• verbatimSRS: is the datum of the IFBL known?
• georeferenceRemarks: I would add coordinates are centroid of used grid square
• taxonRank: lowercase, except for speciesAggregate (write as such)
• nomenclaturalCode: remove field

• recordedBy: can we share this info? I so, I would use |  as seperator
  -> option to use #, will check with Wouter
• individualCount: is this info available?
  --> no, 'streeplijst, collection or herbarium' could set to 1
• occurrenceRemarks: it seems like a lot of this info could be translated to samplingProtocol:
  --> let's try

losse waarnemingen -> casual observation
...

• samplingProtocol: is it possible to provide something? See also occurrenceRemarks
  --> let's try
• locationID: is there a location id?
  --> no, if there would be one, it would be the IFBL code, or maybe the IFBL ID
• verbatimLocality: rename to locality
• verbatimSRS: is the datum of the IFBL known? --> NO (i ll check with Wouter)
• georeferenceRemarks: I would add coordinates are centroid of used grid square
• taxonRank: lowercase, except for speciesAggregate (write as such)
• nomenclaturalCode: remove field
  -> allé dan
• eventID: is there one?
• coordinateUncertaintyInMeters: only needed values are 707 (1 km) and 2828 (4 km)
  --> other values are more uncertain (707 --> 1000 'onzeker uurhok), 2828 --> 3500 'onzeker uurhok')

Let me know when data are available to be whipped again.

No eventID's identified

• rightsHolder: add with INBO
• individualCount: should all records be set to 1 (current implementation)
  --> yes
• occurrenceRemarks: was it intended to remove this field
  -> yes, but on second tought I keep this
• samplingProtocol: this is currently quite messy, I would use controlled values (to be discussed with Wouter)
  • casual observation
  • herbarium
  • digital checklist
  • checklist
  • ...
    --> I can't say Herbarium is a samplingProtocol --> herbarium sampling
    --> I see the light
• taxonRank: contains veriety
• eventDate: write single dates as single date: 2002-04-27/2002-04-27 -> 2002-04-27

[DimEvil]

eventDate: write single dates as single date: 2002-04-27/2002-04-27 -> 2002-04-27 --> won't fix

• rightsHolder: add with INBO

• individualCount: should all records be set to 1 (current implementation)
  --> yes

• occurrenceRemarks: remarks in this field, as good as possible

• samplingProtocol: this is currently quite messy, I would use controlled values (to be discussed with Wouter)

• casual observation

• observation

• tally sheet

• herbarium sampling

• monitoring

• digital tally sheet

• taxonRank: contains veriety corrected to varietas

• eventDate: write single dates as single date: 2002-04-27/2002-04-27 -> 2002-04-27 --> won't fix
