Implications and caveats

Severity: Warning

The occurrence may still be able to be processed based on other taxonomic information supplied, but a scientific name is usually required to match into the taxonomic backbone. A vernacular name may also be used where the scientific name is not known, but vernacular names are more likely to be matched to multiple taxonomic concepts.

Not having either a scientific name or a vernacular name may also indicate a field mapping error.

Data custodian recommendations
