Description 

For records identified as potential duplicates, this field records whether the duplicate occurs in the same dataset or if occurs in a separate dataset.

Where the duplicate occurs in the same dataset, the record may not be an actual duplicate, but instead is a record for a separate occurrence of the same organism at the same place, at the same time, by the same observer or collector.

Where a duplicate record is identified in another dataset, it is more likely this is a shared sample or specimen.
