Implications and caveats
Severity: Warning
To the end user this means that the identification is uncertain.
To a data custodian this indicates that an identification qualifier has been inserted into
the scientific name, which is not allowed in Darwin Core, and, if the
identification qualifier has not also been provided in the appropriate term,
identificationQualifier
, uncertain identifications will not be picked up when
querying on this term.
Data custodian recommendations
Remove the identification qualifier from the scientificNAme
field and supply
it, together with the part of the name that follows it, as
identificationQualifier
.
