Ideally, amend to the EPSG code for the geographic coordinate reference system (CRS), if known. Otherwise use the EPSG code for the geodetic datum, if known. Otherwise use the EPSG code of the ellipsoid, if known. If none of these is known, use the explicit value "not recorded". The reference vocabularies of values for geodetic datums and ellipsoids needs to be made available and should map alternative representations of dwc:geodeticDatum strings to EPSG codes, such as "WGS84", "WGS_84", "WGS:84", "WGS 84", all with standard value "EPSG:4326". NB. Do NOT change one datum to any other datum no matter how close they are or may appear to be. The same treatment should be given to all datums, which is to use their transformation algorithms to get the equivalent in EPSG:4326. For reference, a vocabulary of synonyms for EPSG codes for values of dwc:geodeticDatum can be found at https://registry.gbif.org/vocabulary/GeodeticDatum/concepts and and for more information on obtaining the EPSG dataset, see https://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/referencing/epsg.html. For the purposes of this Test "not recorded" is not a value in the bdqval:sourceAuthority and should result in NOT_AMENDED. Amendment dwc:geodeticDatum Standardized for SingleRecord Is the value of dwc:countryCode a valid ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country code? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_COUNTRYCODE_STANDARD https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/20 Locations outside of a jurisdiction covered by a country code may have a value in the field dwc:countryCode, the ISO user defined codes include XZ used by the UN for installations on the high seas and recommended in Darwin Core to designate the high seas. Also available in the ISO user defined codes is ZZ, used by Darwin Core and GBIF to mark unknown countries. This Test should accept both XZ and ZZ as COMPLIANT country codes. This Test must return NOT_COMPLIANT if there is leading or trailing whitespace or there are leading or trailing non-printing characters. Validation dwc:countryCode Standard for SingleRecord Is the value of dwc:minimumDepthInMeters within the Parameter range? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_MINDEPTH_INRANGE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/107 The Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest known point in Earth's oceans at 10,994 meters below sea level. We have rounded up bdqval:maximumValidDepthInMeters. Validation dwc:minimumDepthInMeters In Range for SingleRecord Does the value of dwc:degreeOfEstablishment occur in the bdqval:sourceAuthority? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_DEGREEOFESTABLISHMENT_STANDARD https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/275 This Test must return NOT_COMPLIANT if there is leading or trailing whitespace or there are leading or trailing non-printing characters. Validation dwc:degreeofEstablishment Standard for SingleRecord Is there a value in any of the terms needed to determine that the taxon exists? 2025-03-06 VALIDATION_TAXON_NOTEMPTY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/105 This tests for records that have no taxonomic (NAME) information. If there is any value for any of the Information Elements, this may be useful information. See example. Validation dwc:Taxon Not Empty for SingleRecord Count the number of VALIDATION_MINELEVATION_INRANGE in a record set that are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-07 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_COUNT_COMPLIANT_MINELEVATION_INRANGE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/296 For Quality Control, compare the Response.result of this measure with the total number of records to assess work needed on the record set. Measurement over MultiRecord Counting Compliance of Validation dwc:minimumElevationInMeters In Range for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:basisOfRecord using the bdqval:sourceAuthority. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_BASISOFRECORD_STANDARDIZED https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/63 The term dwc:basisOfRecord has the comment "Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary such as the set of local names of the identifiers for classes in Darwin Core." The list of these values can be determined by searching https://github.com/tdwg/dwc/blob/master/vocabulary/term_versions.csv for rows with status="recommended" and rdf_type="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Class". For example, the term http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/PreservedSpecimen has a local name PreservedSpecimen. For Tests against a dwc:Occurrence record, the set of valid terms is more limited and embodied in the resource found at https://rs.gbif.org/vocabulary/dwc/basis_of_record.xml, which contains the local name for the identifier, as well as preferred and alternate labels from which to standardize values. Amendment dwc:basisOfRecord Standardized for SingleRecord Is the value of dwc:decimalLongitude a number between -180 and 180 inclusive? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_DECIMALLONGITUDE_INRANGE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/30 Validation dwc:decimalLongitude In Range for SingleRecord Is the value of dwc:minimumElevationInMeters within the Parameter range? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_MINELEVATION_INRANGE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/39 We have rounded up the Parameter values. We are aware of sub-ice elevations in Antarctica to -3,500m and possible sampling in the atmosphere above the elevation of the top of Mt Everest should fail this Test if captured as elevation rather than as distanceAboveSurfaceInMeters. Elevations below the maximum elevation yet above the local surface will be false positives. Validation dwc:minimumElevationInMeters In Range for SingleRecord Count the number of VALIDATION_OCCURRENCEID_NOTEMPTY in a record set that are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-07 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_COUNT_COMPLIANT_OCCURRENCEID_NOTEMPTY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/296 For Quality Control, compare the Response.result of this measure with the total number of records to assess work needed on the record set.

This excludes unpublished names, misspellings and vernacular names. It is expected that the Test will designate the source authority against which to check. The same Test might return distinct results when using distinct source authorities. Validation dwc:kingdom Found for SingleRecord Count the number of VALIDATION_ESTABLISHMENTMEANS_STANDARD in a record set that are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-07 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_COUNT_COMPLIANT_ESTABLISHMENTMEANS_STANDARD https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/296 For Quality Control, compare the Response.result of this measure with the total number of records to assess work needed on the record set.

Measurement over MultiRecord for QualityAssurance of Validation dwc:phylum Found for MultiRecord Is the polynomial represented in dwc:scientificName consistent with the equivalent values in dwc:genericName, dwc:specificEpithet, dwc:infraspecificEpithet? 2025-03-06 VALIDATION_POLYNOMIAL_CONSISTENT https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/101 If dwc:specificEpithet is populated then this Test expects that the value dwc:specificEpithet is the name of the second or species epithet of the scientificName. If dwc:genericName is populated, this Test expects that the value of dwc:genus is the first word of the value of dwc:scientificName. If dwc:specificEpithet is populated then this Test expects that the value dwc:specificEpithet is the name of the first or species epithet of the scientificName. If dwc:infraspecificEpithet is populated, then this Test expects that the value of dwc:infraspecificEpithet is the name of the lowest or terminal infraspecific epithet of the scientificName, excluding any rank designation. Validation Polynomial Consistent for SingleRecord Count the number of VALIDATION_EVENT_CONSISTENT in a record set that are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-06 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_COUNT_COMPLIANT_EVENT_CONSISTENT https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/296 For Quality Control, compare the Response.result of this measure with the total number of records to assess work needed on the record set.

Additional Tests could be devised against a taxonomic authority to report the distinct failure conditions. This Test specifically does not consider the content of dwc:higherClassification. Validation Classification Consistent for SingleRecord Count the number of VALIDATION_OCCURRENCESTATUS_NOTEMPTY in a record set that are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-07 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_COUNT_COMPLIANT_OCCURRENCESTATUS_NOTEMPTY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/296 For Quality Control, compare the Response.result of this measure with the total number of records to assess work needed on the record set.

This excludes unpublished names, misspellings and vernacular names. It is expected that the Test will designate the source authority against which to check. The same Test might return distinct results when using distinct source authorities. Validation dwc:class Found for SingleRecord Proposes an amendment or amendments to the values of dwc:minimumElevationInMeters and dwc:maximumElevationInMeters if they can be interpreted from dwc:verbatimElevation. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_MINELEVATIONMAXELEVATION_FROM_VERBATIM https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/68 If the dwc:verbatimElevation as a single value rather than a range, the minimum and maximum values should be amended with the same value. When transforming units, the transformation should be reversible, not adjusting the number of significant digits or adjusting the rounding. For example, transform yards to meters by multiplying by 0.9144 and retaining added significant digits (verbatim elevation of 10 yards to minimum and maximum depths in meters of 9.144). Implementations should be capable of interpreting verbatim data in at least meters,yards, feet, and kilometers in the form of either a single value or a range. The units must be specified in the verbatim data to be interpretable. Amendment dwc:minimumElevationInMeters dwc:maximumElevationInMeters from dwc:verbatimElevation for SingleRecord Count the number of VALIDATION_COORDINATEUNCERTAINTY_INRANGE in a record set that are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-07 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_COUNT_COMPLIANT_COORDINATEUNCERTAINTY_INRANGE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/296 For Quality Control, compare the Response.result of this measure with the total number of records to assess work needed on the record set.

Implementations should translate interpretable Roman numerals in the range I-XII in dwc:month as integer month values 1-12, as some natural science domains use roman numeral months to avoid language and day/month vs month/day order concerns. In these cases, the result will be AMENDED numeric equivalents. Amendment dwc:month Standardized for SingleRecord Measure if all VALIDATION_OCCURRENCESTATUS_STANDARD in a record set are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-07 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_QA_OCCURRENCESTATUS_STANDARD https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/295 For Quality Assurance, filter record set until this measure is COMPLETE.

This Test must return NOT_COMPLIANT if there is leading or trailing whitespace or there are leading or trailing non-printing characters. The canonical form of the Creative Commons license IRI has nothing after the version (e.g., https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), but may be followed by deed or legalcode e.g. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed and this may be followed by a language code. However, only some two-letter language codes have translations, and some translations are identified by a longer string than the two-letter language code. Errors in the language code, or specifying a language code for which a translation doesn't exist returns a 404 error instead of redirecting to the more general license IRI. As of 2024-02-28 deed.mi doesn't exist yet, but legalcode.mi does.

Measurement over MultiRecord for QualityAssurance of Validation dwc:country Found for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:eventDate from values in dwc:year, dwc:month and dwc:day. 2025-03-06 AMENDMENT_EVENTDATE_FROM_YEARMONTHDAY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/93 An attempt to populate dwc:eventDate from dwc:verbatimEventDate and from dwc:startDayOfYear and dwc:endDayOfYear should be made before this Test is run. If dwc:year and dwc:day are present and interpretable, but dwc:month is not supplied or is not interpretable, then just the year should be given as the proposed amendment. This Test assumes that that dwc:year, dwc:month, dwc:day are in a Gregorian calendar, and that only those three pieces of information are needed to produce a dwc:eventDate (explicitly in ISO 8601-1 format, and thus using the Gregorian calendar). When running the Test, the original precision, e.g. dwc:year=1980, dwc:month=1 should be retained, e.g. dwc:eventDate should become 1980-01, not 1980-01-01/1980-01-31.

Though coordinate precision of the verbatim coordinates could also be interpreted during the process of amending decimal coordinates from verbatim coordinates, that amendment is recommended to be an independent Test. Note that dwc:verbatimLatitude, dwc:verbatimLongitude and dwc:verbatimCoordinates might all be populated, and they may or not be perfectly consistent with each other. An ideal implementation should check for the consistency of these three fields and not amend them if they are inconsistent.

That date was chosen because ISO 8601-1 asserts that "the use of proleptic Gregorian calendar dates prior are not allowed in ISO 8601-1 without prior agreement of the parties exchanging data", and Darwin Core does not comment on this. Different calendars have been used at different times in different places, and the transcription of an original date in one calendar into dwc:eventDate, where a Gregorian Calendar is assumed, may or may not have been done with the correct translation of the date, and metadata may or not be present to even identify such records. Given the complexity, and ongoing nature of transitions between calendars, we do not advocate using this Test for quality assurance by selecting a transition date and using it as a threshold.

For research users of biodiversity data doing quality assurance, VALIDATION_TAXON_UNAMBIGUOUS (4c09f127-737b-4686-82a0-7c8e30841590) handles their needs, but for curators of datasets doing quality control, this Test provides a specific subset of targeted data cleaning, making it a valuable Test to include for the quality control case.

For this Test, dwc:eventTime is explicitly ignored. It may be useful to consider an additional Test that does evaluate dwc:eventTime and dwc:eventDate. In that case, but not in this Test, if the time is present in both dwc:eventDate and dwc:eventTime, and it is inconsistent, it may indicate an error in the dwc:eventDate, thus making it a problem that someone needs to evaluate. This Test will only assert consistency if the data are both internally consistent and are compliant with the term definitions, for example dwc:day, by its definition, can only be the day of an dwc:eventDate that has a precision of a day or better and is not a range that spans more than a single day. A dwc:day that was internally consistent with the first day of the year (that is, 1) of an dwc:eventDate that only had precision to a year would be consistent internally, but not consistent with the Darwin Core term definitions, and would not return COMPLIANT from this Test.

This Test should find any matches at the Getty "nation" level including internationalized names and historical representations of that nation (where boundaries are same). This Test must return NOT_COMPLIANT if there is leading or trailing whitespace or there are leading or trailing non-printing characters.

Validation dwc:country Not Empty for SingleRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:eventDate from the content of dwc:verbatimEventDate. 2025-03-06 AMENDMENT_EVENTDATE_FROM_VERBATIM https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/86 If the proposed eventDate is prior to 1918-02-14, the Response.comment will include a note that the "verbatimDate was assumed to be in the Gregorian calendar". When running the Test, the original precision, e.g. year=1980, month=1 should be retained, e.g. dwc:eventDate should become 1980-01, not 1980-01-01/1980-01-31. Amendment dwc:eventDate from dwc:verbatimEventDate for SingleRecord Measure if all VALIDATION_SCIENTIFICNAMEAUTHORSHIP_NOTEMPTY in a record set are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-06 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_QA_SCIENTIFICNAMEAUTHORSHIP_NOTEMPTY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/295 For Quality Assurance, filter record set until this measure is COMPLETE.

A text or number string as a namespace indicator without a URI will be ambiguous. As an example, GBIF's backbone taxonomy dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.15468/39omei. When referencing a GBIF taxon by GBIF's identifier for that taxon, use the the pseudo-namespace "gbif:" and the form "gbif:{integer}" as the value for dwc:scientificNameID. Note that GBIF currently uses "TaxonID" for this entity. The terms NID, NSS, and URN are all Uniform Resource Identifiers - see the Wikipedia (2024) reference. Validation dwc:scientificNameID Complete for SingleRecord Measure if all VALIDATION_DECIMALLONGITUDE_INRANGE in a record set are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-07 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_QA_DECIMALLONGITUDE_INRANGE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/295 For Quality Assurance, filter record set until this measure is COMPLETE. Measurement over MultiRecord for QualityAssurance of Validation dwc:decimalLongitude In Range for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment to values in any of dwc:year, dwc:month, dwc:day, dwc:startDayOfYear or dwc:endDayOfYear from the content of dwc:eventDate. 2025-03-06 AMENDMENT_EVENT_FROM_EVENTDATE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/52 Only fields that are empty will be have changes proposed, and only if dwc:eventDate has a valid ISO 8601-1 date. The dwc:eventDate is the canonical form of the event date (it is the first trusted form). If event date does not contain a range,dwc:startDayOfYear = dwc:endDayOfYear. Time (as compared to date) is not deemed a CORE component. Note, see sequencing Tests section of standards documents, run this amendment after any other amendment that may affect dwc:eventDate Amendment dwc:Event from dwc:eventDate for SingleRecord Proposes an amendment of the value of dwc:eventDate to a valid ISO date. 2025-03-06 AMENDMENT_EVENTDATE_STANDARDIZED https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/61 The intent of the amended range is to capture the original uncertainty where possible. As in the example, we amend "1999-11" instead of "1999-11-01/1999-11-31". An AMBIGUOUS response is possible.

Measurement over MultiRecord Counting Compliance of Validation dwc:class Found for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment to fill in dwc:geodeticDatum using a parameterized value if the dwc:geodeticDatum is empty. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_GEODETICDATUM_ASSUMEDDEFAULT https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/102 The value of dwc:geodeticDatum applies to dwc:decimalLatitude and dwc:decimalLongitude, thus EPSG:4326 (https://epsg.org/crs_4326/WGS-84.html) is the appropriate EPSG code as it applies to the WGS84 datum used with a geographic coordinate system. If the dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters is bdqval:Empty, not interpretable, or not valid, this amendment should not provide a dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters. If the dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters is bdqval:NotEmpty and is valid, this amendment should add to the dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters the uncertainty contributed by the maximum datum shift at the given coordinates. Since different systems have differing requirements for what the default datum should be, it is left unspecified, but should match whatever the target datum is in AMENDMENT_COORDINATES_CONVERTED (620749b9-7d9c-4890-97d2-be3d1cde6da8). After the amendment is performed, the dwc:geodeticDatum field should be the assumed default datum as parameterized. An example implementation to determine the uncertainty added by asserting a default datum (datum shift) where a known datum is not declared can be found in [datumshiftproj.py](https://github.com/VertNet/georefcalculator/blob/master/source/python/datumshiftproj.py) in the source code for the [Georeferencing Calculator](https://georeferencing.org/calculator/) (Wieczorek & Wieczorek 2021). Included in the source code is a [5-degree grid](https://github.com/VertNet/georefcalculator/blob/master/datumerrordata.js) of datum shifts from an unknown datum to WGS84. Amendment dwc:geodeticDatum Assumed Default for SingleRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:degreeOfEstablishment using the bdqval:sourceAuthority. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_DEGREEOFESTABLISHMENT_STANDARDIZED https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/276 For reference, synonyms for values of dwc:degreeOfEstablishment can be found at https://registry.gbif.org/vocabulary/DegreeOfEstablishment/concepts.

This is reflected in the dwc:occurrenceStatus vocabulary for this Test. There is currently a mismatch between the (authoritative) lower case values at https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:occurrenceStatus and the vocabulary at GBIF (https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/OccurrenceStatus/concepts), which capitalized the first character. This Test must return NOT_COMPLIANT if there are case differences, leading or trailing whitespace or there are leading or trailing non-printing characters.

Measurement over MultiRecord Counting Compliance of Validation Polynomial Consistent for MultiRecord Does the value of dwc:geodeticDatum occur as a valid geographic CRS, geodetic Datum or ellipsoid in bdqval:sourceAuthority? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_GEODETICDATUM_STANDARD https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/59 Darwin Core recommends best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary. This Test must return NOT_COMPLIANT if there is leading or trailing whitespace or there are leading or trailing non-printing characters. Chapman and Wieczorek (2020) recommend best practice is to use EPSG geographic CRS or Datum codes (https://epsg.io/) as a controlled vocabulary. Ideally, amend to the EPSG code for the geographic coordinate reference system (CRS), if known. Otherwise use the EPSG code for the geodetic datum, if known. Otherwise use the EPSG code of the ellipsoid, if known. If none of these is known, use the explicit value "not recorded". While "not recorded" is not a valid EPSG code, it is a valid value according to Darwin Core. The reference vocabularies of values for geodetic datums and ellipsoids needs to be made available and should map alternative representations of dwc:geodeticDatum strings to EPSG codes, such as "WGS84", "WGS_84", "WGS:84", "WGS 84" all with standard value "EPSG:4326". Validation dwc:geodeticDatum Standard for SingleRecord Does the value of dwc:order occur at the rank of Order in bdqval:sourceAuthority? 2025-03-06 VALIDATION_ORDER_FOUND https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/83 The purpose of this Test is to check whether the value is a name that is a result of a nomenclatural act at this rank. This excludes unpublished names, misspellings and vernacular names. It is expected that the Test will designate the source authority against which to check. The same Test might return distinct results when using distinct source authorities. Validation dwc:order Found for SingleRecord Is there a value in dwc:countryCode? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_COUNTRYCODE_NOTEMPTY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/98 Darwin Core recommends that data from the high seas (outside national jurisdictions) use dwc:countryCode = "XZ". Validation dwc:countryCode Not Empty for SingleRecord Is the value of dwc:startDayOfYear an integer between 1 and 365 inclusive, or 366 if a leap year? 2025-03-06 VALIDATION_STARTDAYOFYEAR_INRANGE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/130 See Test VALIDATION_DAY_INRANGE (8d787cb5-73e2-4c39-9cd1-67c7361dc02e). This Test only asks if dwc:startDayOfYear is a valid value for the relevant year, not if it is consistent with the start day of the range specified in dwc:eventDate. In a non-leap year, the valid range is 1-365 inclusive, in a leap year 366 is also valid. This Test should be run after the series of Tests that assure that dwc:eventDate is populated, if possible (i.e., AMENDMENT_EVENTDATE_FROM_VERBATIM (6d0a0c10-5e4a-4759-b448-88932f399812), AMENDMENT_EVENTDATE_STANDARDIZED (718dfc3c-cb52-4fca-b8e2-0e722f375da7), and AMENDMENT_EVENT_DATE_FROM_YEARMONTHDAY (3892f432-ddd0-4a0a-b713-f2e2ecbd879d)).

Measurement over MultiRecord for QualityAssurance of Validation dwc:startDayOfYear In Range for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:countryCode if dwc:decimalLatitude and dwc:decimalLongitude fall within a boundary from the bdqval:countryShapes that is attributable to a single valid ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country code. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_COUNTRYCODE_FROM_COORDINATES https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/73 This amendment simply fills dwc:countryCode from a lookup of dwc:decimalLatitude and dwc:decimalLongitude. If the coordinate falls in the high seas outside any national jurisdiction dwc:countryCode="XZ" should be asserted. Values in dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters and dwc:coordinatePrecision (if present) imply a buffer around the provided coordinates. Likewise, country polygons cannot be 100% accurate at all scales (Dooley 2005), so a spatial buffer of the country boundaries is also justified. Taking spatial buffers into account does, however, greatly complicate the logic and the implementation of this and related Tests. In this Test, a detection of multiple country codes by sampling within the buffer, while possible, is not considered. Amendment dwc:countryCode from Coordinates for SingleRecord Is the value of dwc:day interpretable as a valid integer between 1 and 28 inclusive, or is it validly 29, 30 or 31 given the dwc:month and dwc:year? 2025-03-06 VALIDATION_DAY_INRANGE https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/125 This Test must take into account the given month and year, if present, to account for leap years.

Next year is not valid now. Next year it will be. This Test provides the option to designate lower and upper limits to the year. The upper limit, if not provided, should default to the year when the Test is run. This Test provides for a default earliest date (year), of 1582 by convention. That value was chosen because ISO 8601-1 asserts that "the use of proleptic Gregorian calendar dates prior are not allowed in ISO 8601-1 without prior agreement of the parties exchanging data", and Darwin Core provides no such prior agreement. Validation dwc:year In Range for SingleRecord Do the geographic coordinates fall on or within the boundaries of the territory given in dwc:countryCode or its Exclusive Economic Zone? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_COORDINATESCOUNTRYCODE_CONSISTENT https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/50 dwc:coordinatePrecision and dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters (if present) imply a potential displacement of the provided coordinates. These two terms can be considered spatial buffers. Likewise, country polygons cannot be 100% accurate at all scales (Dooley 2005), so a spatial buffer of the country boundaries is justified. When dwc:countryCode=XZ (for High Seas), the coordinate should fall into a marine region out side of the EEZ of any country. Taking the spatial buffers into account does however greatly complicate both the logic and the implementation of such Tests. The same applies to potential conversion of the Spatial Reference System (SRS) of dwc:decimalLatitude and dwc:decimalLongitude to the SRS used in the bdqval:sourceAuthority.

If a parameter is not set, then the default is 1753-01-01. This Test will, by design, flag as problematic cases (such as LTER plots and marine mammal sightings) where a known individual organism is identified by a specialist and then subsequently observed without new taxonomic identifications being made.

Measurement over MultiRecord for QualityAssurance of Validation dwc:pathway Standard for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:scientificName using the dwc:scientificNameID value from the bdqval:sourceAuthority. 2025-03-06 AMENDMENT_SCIENTIFICNAME_FROM_SCIENTIFICNAMEID https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/71 The value of dwc:scientificNameID is unambiguous if dwc:scientificNameID references a single taxon record in the bdqval:sourceAuthority. When referencing a GBIF taxon by GBIF's identifier for that taxon, use the the pseudo-namespace "gbif:" and the form "gbif:{integer}" as the value for dwc:scientificNameID. Implementers can be aware of the current GBIF api endpoint that can replace the pseduo-namespace gbif: when looking up the dwc:scientificNameID (taxonID in the gbif document), e.g. `s/gbif:/https:\/\/api.gbif.org\/v1\/species\// ` will transform the value taxonID=gbif:8102122 to the resolvable endpoint https://api.gbif.org/v1/species/8102122. The pseudo-namespace "gbif:" is recommended by GBIF to reference GBIF taxon records. Where resolvable persistent identifiers exist for dwc:scientificNameID values, they should be used in full, but implementers will need to support at least the "gbif:" pseudo-namespace. Amendment dwc:scientificName from dwc:scientificNameID for SingleRecord Count the number of VALIDATION_DCTYPE_NOTEMPTY in a record set that are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-07 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_COUNT_COMPLIANT_DCTYPE_NOTEMPTY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/296 For Quality Control, compare the Response.result of this measure with the total number of records to assess work needed on the record set.

Measurement over MultiRecord Counting Compliance of Validation dwc:scientificNameID Complete for MultiRecord Do the geographic coordinates fall on or within the boundary from the bdqval:sourceAuthority for the given dwc:stateProvince or within the distance given by bdqval:spatialBufferInMeters outside that boundary? 2025-03-07 VALIDATION_COORDINATESSTATEPROVINCE_CONSISTENT https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/56 The geographic determination service is expected to return a list of names of first-level administrative divisions for geometries that the geographic point falls on or within, including a 3 km buffer around the administrative geometry. A match on any of those names should constitute a consistency, and dwc:countryCode should not be needed to make this determination, that is, this Test does not attempt to disambiguate potential duplicate first-level administrative division names. The level of buffering may be related to the scale of the underlying GIS layer being used. At a global scale, typical map scales used for borders and coastal areas are either 1:3M or 1:1M (Dooley 2005, Chapter 4). Horizontal accuracy at those scales is around 1.5-2.5km and 0.5-0.85 km respectively (Chapman & Wieczorek 2020). Validation Coordinates dwc:stateProvince Consistent for SingleRecord Measure if all VALIDATION_EVENTTEMPORAL_NOTEMPTY in a record set are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-06 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_QA_EVENTTEMPORAL_NOTEMPTY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/295 For Quality Assurance, filter record set until this measure is COMPLETE. Measurement over MultiRecord for QualityAssurance of Validation dwc:Event Temporal Not Empty for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment transposing or changing the signs of dwc:decimalLatitude and/or dwc:decimalLongitude to align the location with the dwc:countryCode. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_COORDINATES_TRANSPOSED https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/54 The dwc:geodeticDatum is not necessary for this Test. The maximum positional shift between any geographic coordinate reference system and WGS84 is less than 6 km, so any hemisphere Test that relies on a country code for consistency would not be affected by the potential shift. The prior VALIDATION for this Test is VALIDATION_COORDINATE_COUNTRYCODE_CONSISTENT (adb27d29-9f0d-4d52-b760-a77ba57a69c9). Amendment Coordinates Transposed for SingleRecord Does the value of dwc:genus occur at the rank of Genus in the bdqval:sourceAuthority? 2025-03-06 VALIDATION_GENUS_FOUND https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/122 The purpose of this Test is to check whether the value is a name that is a result of a nomenclatural act at this rank. This excludes unpublished names, misspellings and vernacular names. It is expected that the Test will designate the source authority against which to check. The same Test might return distinct results when using distinct source authorities. Validation dwc:genus Found for SingleRecord Measure if all VALIDATION_TAXONRANK_STANDARD in a record set are COMPLIANT. 2025-03-06 MULTIRECORD_MEASURE_QA_TAXONRANK_STANDARD https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/295 For Quality Assurance, filter record set until this measure is COMPLETE.

Measurement over MultiRecord Counting Compliance of Validation dwc:basisOfRecord Standard for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:occurrenceStatus using the bdqval:sourceAuthority. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_OCCURRENCESTATUS_STANDARDIZED https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/115 The recommended controlled vocabulary for this term consists of "present" and "absent", which are the only two appropriate terms for a Darwin Core Occurrence. This is reflected in the suggested dwc:occurrenceStatus vocabulary for this Test. Other values for dwc:occurrenceStatus should only arise under circumstances that do not refer to an Occurrence. The GBIF API is listed in the sourceAuthority. However, there is currently a mismatch between the lower case recommended values at https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:occurrenceStatus and the GBIF vocabulary at bdqval:sourceAuthority that uses an upper case first letter (https://api.gbif.org/v1/vocabularies/OccurrenceStatus/concepts), thus implementations using the GBIF API should ensure that matches on alternate terms in that vocabulary are converted to the all lower case values in the present/absent vocabulary recommended in Darwin Core. Implementations should interpret the numeric value 1 as present, and the numeric value 0 as absent. Amendment dwc:occurrenceStatus Standardized for SingleRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:pathway using the bdqval:sourceAuthority. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_PATHWAY_STANDARDIZED https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/278 For reference, synonyms for values of dwc:pathway can be found at https://registry.gbif.org/vocabulary/Pathway/concepts.

Measurement over MultiRecord for QualityAssurance of Validation dwc:minimumDepthInMeters less than dwc:maximumDepthInMeters for MultiRecord Proposes an amendment to the value of dwc:countryCode if it can be interpreted as an ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country code. 2025-03-07 AMENDMENT_COUNTRYCODE_STANDARDIZED https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/48 This Test supports conformance with the recommendation in the comment on dwc:countryCode: "Recommended best practice is to use an ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 country code." Darwin Core also recommends the use of the XZ for high seas and ZZ for unknown. Three letter codes should be amended to the matching two-letter code. Amendment dwc:countryCode Standard for SingleRecord Are there any annotations associated with the record? 2024-09-17 ISSUE_ANNOTATION_NOTEMPTY https://github.com/tdwg/bdq/issues/29 While there is a W3C standard on 'web annotation', there is no TDWG recommendation on how this standard could be applied to annotating Darwin Core records. While implementation of this Test is currently problematic, TG2 considers annotations attached to any aspect of a Darwin Core record justifies this Test as a placeholder in the hope of future developments.
