tblIdentifications contains record of identifications on labels or in publications or by placement in trays.

[edit] Validation

  • Each identification must have either HigherTaxonName or a genus name that can be located via NomenclatorID.
  • At least one source of identification must be stated.
    • RefID, IdentifierName, PlaceInCollection, and IdentificationModeNote are the four possible sources of identification. Placement in collection is considered not worth recording if one of the other sources is listed.
  • If the genus is specified, then HigherTaxonName is left blank.
  • If the identification is from the literature, then RefID > 0.
    • If RefID > 0, then names of subgenera, genera and higher taxa must be present in tblTaxa.
    • If RefID = 0, then names of taxa are not required to be present in tblTaxa.

[edit] Columns

  • SpecimenID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblSpecimens.SpecimenID
  • SeqNum, integer, 2 bytes, sequence number for identifications for this specimen; SpecimenID and SeqNum together form the primary key
  • HigherTaxonName, text, 30 characters maximum, name of taxon higher than genus rank, used only when there is no identification at genus rank or lower

  • TypeTaxonNameID, integer, 4 bytes. If TypeKindID and Topotype both = 0, then TypeTaxonNameID = 0. If either TypeKindID or Topotype > 0, then TypeTaxonNameID = tblTaxa.TaxonNameID of the name for which this specimen is a type.
  • RefID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblRefs.RefID, published reference with this specimen identified
  • IdentifierName, text, 50 characters maximum, name of person on identification label. To be deleted when linking table to tblPeople is available.
  • Year, integer, 2 bytes, year stated on an identification label
  • PlaceInCollection, integer, 1 byte, 0 = not the source of the identification, 1 = the identification information is based solely on the placement in a collection
  • IdentificationModeNote, text, 200 characters maximum, information about the source of the identification

  • 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

[edit] Not Yet Implmented

  • IdentifierID, integer, 4 bytes, = tblPeople.PersonID. For future implementation, probably in a separate linking table.
