-- Name -- species distribution data set -- Definition -- This data set is a collection of individual spatial objects (units) in a distribution of species. -- Description -- Collection of individual spatial objects of allowed geometry where a species occurs.
-- Name -- species distribution unit -- Definition -- Occurrence of animal and plant species aggregated by grid, region, administrative unit or other analytical unit. -- Description -- Pan-European, national or local mapping initiatives, resulting in spatial data for species in terrestrial and marine environments, e.g. for birds, insects, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish or vascular plants. NOTE 1 Only species are mentioned in the INSPIRE definition. But earlier INSPIRE documents (INPIRE IMS, 2003) mentions both species or species grouped e.g. to families. So we interprete species as taxa, which means taxonomic units at any systematic rank, like subspecies, species, genus, family etc.
-- Name -- species name type -- Definition -- Identifier and scientific name, including the author, taken from an international reference list, optionally completed by a locally used name and its taxonomic concept relationship to the reference name. -- Description -- The authorized ReferenceSpeciesScheme provides reference species list which defines the ReferenceSpeciesName with its scientific name plus author and ReferenceSpeciesId. The LocalSpeciesName provides nomenclatural and taxonomical information about the locally used species name and the taxonomic concepts implied by the use of this name according to a given reference.
-- Name -- range type -- Definition -- Value indicating the upper and lower limits of the counting, estimation or calculation of occurrences.
-- Name -- distribution info type -- Definition -- The description of the status of the subject of distribution within the species distribution unit, including the indication of the abundance by counting, estimation or calculation of the number of occurrences or population size of the particular species.
-- Name -- population size type -- Definition -- A range value indicating the counted, estimated or calculated occurrences or population sizes, which is defined by an upper and a lower limit. -- Description -- A range density (or abundance) value for species occurrence in the individual species distribution units either counted, estimated or calculated based on defined counting units, or using upper and lower bounds.
-- Name -- general counting unit value -- Definition -- The unit used to express a counted or estimated number indicating the abundance within a SpeciesAggregationUnit (e.g. ccurrences or the population size).
-- Name -- reference species code value -- Definition -- Reference lists containing species identifiers. -- Description -- The authorized ReferenceSpeciesScheme provides reference species list which defines the ReferenceSpeciesName with its scientific name plus author and ReferenceSpeciesId. In these ReferenceSpeciesSchemes harmonized species names are given GUIDs and the species names are to be retrieved through webservices using GUIDs. Only one of these list must be used for one taxon. The priority is as follows: 1) EU-Nomen, 2) EUNIS, 3) NatureDirectives. This implies: if a taxon is listed in EU-Nomen, this reference must be used as first choice. If it is not listed in EU-Nomen, the second choice is EUNIS, if not in EUNIS, NatureDirectives can be used.
-- Name -- reference species scheme value -- Definition -- Reference lists defining a nomenclatural and taxonomical standard to which local names and taxonomic concepts can be mapped. -- Description -- The authorized ReferenceSpeciesScheme provides reference species list which defines the ReferenceSpeciesName with its scientific name plus author and ReferenceSpeciesId. In these ReferenceSpeciesSchemes harmonized species names are given GUIDs and the species names are to be retrieved through webservices using GUIDs. Only one of these list must be used for one taxon. The priority is as follows: 1) EU-Nomen, 2) EUNIS, 3) NatureDirectives. This implies: if a taxon is listed in EU-Nomen, this reference must be used as first choice. If it is not listed in EU-Nomen, the second choice is EUNIS, if not in EUNIS, NatureDirectives can be used.
-- Name -- residency status value -- Definition -- Category of the residency of the occurrences or estimated population within a given aggregation unit. -- Description -- These values are used for Natura2000 (revised SDF). NOTE One or more categories of population may be listed in the dataset, giving population size of e.g. permanent and wintering populations.
-- Name -- local name code value -- Definition -- Species identifier taken from any local classification scheme.
-- Name -- eunis species code value -- Definition -- Reference lists containing Eunis species id's.
-- Name -- population type value -- Definition -- The permanency of populations, particularly with regard to migratory species within a given species distribution unit. -- Description -- These values are used for Natura2000 (revised SDF).
-- Name -- occurrence category value -- Definition -- The species population density in the SpeciesDistributionUnit. -- Description -- A species population density in classes (common, rare, very rare or present) in an individual SpeciesDistributionUnit.
-- Name -- qualifier value -- Definition -- This value defines the relation between the taxonomic concepts of a local species name and the reference species name given by reference species identifier or by a reference species scheme.
-- Name -- article 17 counting unit value -- Definition -- The unit used in reporting for Article 17 Report. Expresses counted or estimated number for the abundance within a species distribution unit (e.g. occurrences or the population size). -- Description -- NOTE The values of the list are found here: http://bd.eionet.europa.eu/activities/ Natura_2000/Folder_Reference_Portal/ Population_units.pdf
-- Name -- counting method value -- Definition -- Method for producing numbers indicating the abundance of a species within an aggregation unit.
-- Name -- counting unit value -- Definition -- The defined unit used to express a counted or estimated number indicating the abundance of a species in a SpeciesDistributionUnit. -- Description -- The counting units are defined by specific measures of species occurrence types, life stages, reproductive units or substrate counts. Subclasses for specific domains can be added by member states.
-- Name -- nature directives code value -- Definition -- Reference lists containing nature directives species id's. -- Description -- In nature directives harmonized species names are given identifiers and the species names are to be connected by using these identifiers.
-- Name -- eu-nomen code value -- Definition -- Reference lists containing EU-Nomen species id's.
