Localities
From Species File Help
tblLocalities contains information about localities where specimens were found.
- LocalityID, integer, 4 bytes, identifier for locality
- FileID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblFiles.FileID
- Level1ID, 1 digit, = tblGeoLevel1.Level1ID
- 0 = "Not recorded"
- Level2ID, 1 digit, = tblGeoLevel2.Level2ID. This is not a foreign key by itself; it is composite with Level1ID.
- 0 = level 2 location has not been recorded
- Level3ID, 3 alphabetic characters, = tblGeoLevel3.Level3ID this is a foreign key for tblGeoLevel3
- --- = level 3 location has not been recorded
- There are no spaces to pad because the foreign key has no blanks.
- Level4ID, 3 characters, = tblGeoLevel4.Level4ID. This is not a foreign key by itself; it is composite with Level3ID.
- --- = level 4 location has not been recorded
- The TDWG endorsed values are all alphabetic characters. Species File Software has added details at level 4 not recognized by TDWG. These are identified by numeric characters.
- Latitude, decimal, precision 9, scale 6, degrees (+ for N, - for S), null permitted
- Longitude, decimal, precision 9, scale 6, degrees (+ for E, - for W), null permitted
- PrecisionCode, integer, 1 byte (still available, no longer used, will be converted for use as indicator of confidence in the supplied Lat/Long)
- 0 = unspecified (default)
- 1 = from locality label
- 2 = estimated from map and locality label
- 3 = based on county or similar modest area specified on locality label
- 4 = estimated from less specific locality label
- Elevation, integer, 2 bytes, elevation in meters, null permitted
- MaxElevation, integer, 2 bytes, maximum elevation when there is a range, otherwise null
- TimePeriodID, integer, 2 bytes, = tblTimePeriods.TimePeriodID, geologic time period
- LocalityDetail, text, 300 characters maximum, place data not coded in any other field
- TimeDetail, text, 300 characters maximum, details not coded in TimePeriodID
- DataFlags, integer, 1 byte, bit flags for data status
- 0 = conditions 1 and 2 are not present
- 1 = The disparity between geographic levels and the Latitude & Longitude was accepted by the user
- 2 = The locality was last edited by a user during a localities test run
- Country, text, 100 characters maximum, name of the country of collection (It is not required that this name match any data supplied in the GeoID (above))
- State, text, 100 characters maximum, name of the state or province of collection
- County, text, 100 characters maximum, name of the county or precinct of collection
- BodyOfWater, text, 100 characters maximum, name of the body of water of collection
- PrecisionRadius, integer, 4 bytes, radius of the circle of uncertainty of the accuarcy of the latitude and longitude data
- LatLongFrom, integer, 4 bytes, indicator of when the Latitude/Longitude data was applied
- 0 = Unknown (default)
- 1 = Provided by the collector at collection time
- 2 = Provided during data entry
- LastUpdate, smalldatetime, date and time row last updated
- ModifiedBy, integer, 4 bytes, FileUserID of the signon that made the change
- CreatedOn, smalldatetime, date and time row was created
- CreatedBy, integer, 4 bytes, FileUserID of the signon that created the row
