5.3 Application schema SpeciesDistributionExtension<br />

5.3.1 Description<br />

5.3.1.1. Narrative description<br />

This extension to the SpeciesDistribution application schema, allows further metadata on the<br />

distribution units which can be provided through the spatial object type SourceInformation. In the<br />

extended part, SpeciesDistributionUnit is subclassed from<br />

SpeciesDistribution::SpeciesDistributionUnit (from SpeciesDistribution application schema) where<br />

further metadata information on the distribution can be provided through the spatial object type<br />

SourceInformation. It is highly recommended that information is documented on who collected the<br />

data on species distribution, and how the data was collected (for example through field surveys or<br />

statistical samples) and aggregated. This information is considered as metadata to the distribution<br />

units. This type of information is essential in order to interpret the species distribution information<br />

correctly.<br />

If required, it is also possible to provide a reference from SpeciesDistributionUnit to observation<br />

data. This is done via a reference from spatial object type SpeciesDistributionInfoUnit to the<br />

relevant underlying observations in the SpeciesDistributionUnit as an attribute<br />

occurrenceRecordIdentifier. Darwin Core and ABCD are widely used standards for collection data and<br />

observations interpreted as collection information within the biodiversity domain. The Darwin Core<br />

Triple provides a globally unique identifier combining (institition, collection, catalog number). It is also<br />

possible to apply a reference to the INSPIRE_ObservationCollection which again links to single<br />

observations. The observation model is based on the ISO 19158 Observations and Measurements<br />

standard.
