Object Name:Location
| | Description: Table of valid locations of MorphBank Specimens. Based on part of the Darwin Core, version 2.0 standard.

Primary Key:id

| Attribute Name: id | Type: Character | This is the id inherited from BaseObject. Other fields, for instance userId and groupId, are also inhered from the BaseObject (see specification of BaseObject).
|
| Attribute Name: continentOceanId | Type: Character | The continent or ocean from which a specimen was collected.
|
| Attribute Name: countryId | Type: Character | The country or major political unit from which the specimen was collected. ISO 3166-1 values should be used. Full country names are currently in use. A future recommendation is to use ISO3166-1 two letter codes or the full name when searching. MorphBank will adopt the two letter codes for this database.
|
| Attribute Name: locality | Type: Character | The locality description (place name plus optionally a displacement from the place name) from which the specimen was collected. Where a displacement from a location is provided, it should be in un-projected units of measurement.
|
| Attribute Name: latitude | Type: Real | The latitude of the location from which the specimen was collected. This value should be expressed in decimal degrees with a datum such as WGS-84.
|
| Attribute Name: longitude | Type: Real | The longitude of the location from which the specimen was collected. This value should be expressed in decimal degrees with a datum such as WGS-84.
|
| Attribute Name: coordinatePrecision | Type: Integer | An estimate of how tightly the collecting locality was specified; expressed as a distance, in meters, that corresponds to a radius around the latitude-longitude coordinates. Use NULL where precision is unknown, cannot be estimated, or is not applicable.
|
| Attribute Name: minimumElevation | Type: Integer | The minimum distance in meters above (positive) or below sea level of the collecting locality.
|
| Attribute Name: maximumElevation | Type: Integer | The maximum distance in meters above (positive) or below sea level of the collecting locality.
|
| Attribute Name: minimumDepth | Type: Integer | The minimum distance in meters below the surface of the water at which the collection was made; all material collected was at least this deep. Positive below the surface, negative above (e.g. collecting above sea level in tidal areas).
|
| Attribute Name: maximumDepth | Type: Integer | The minimum distance in meters below the surface of the water at which the collection was made; all material collected was at least this deep. Positive below the surface, negative above (e.g. collecting above sea level in tidal areas).
