Implications and caveats
Severity: Warning
The identificationDate
can be earlier than the eventDate
if the organism is
observed or collected multiple times, e.g. a ringed bird, the same tree that is
observed or collected from multiple times, or a living plant from a known
accession.
In many data sets, however, it is almost always an error.
