Implications and caveats

Severity: Warning

Georeference sources should be supplied as a list (concatenated and separated) of maps, gazetteers, or other resources used to georeference the Location, described specifically enough to allow anyone in the future to use the same resources.

The sources are particularly useful where a description of the location rather than coordinates are provided.

Data custodian recommendations

If georeference sources were used and are known, please supply them.
