35 | GUIDPrefix | Y | The prefix registered with iDigBio. | Is is a good place for this information? | |||||
36 | FundingSource | YG2 | NDP: Ummm... Yes, I can see why iDigBio wants this field :) But in a more general sense, what about funding agency for specimen acquisition? Also, is this table too high-level for this information — how likely is it that any particular funding source applies to digitizing the whole collection? AM: Right. We should have terms to indicate type of funding and at least on a specimen/media basis. The "problem" is that I found no datasets with this information at a fine-grained level. So, probably something for MISC v2 to consider. | Funding source(s) related to this collection. Multiple funding sources can be provided as a "many" field, with each funding source linked to a particular purpose. | Moved to collectionobject and Media. Will be moved to Project when that concept is created. Potentially limit this to digitization effort funding (not other types). | Funding source(s) | "PBI-12345","BRC-12345" | ||

52 | CollectionObjectCount | NDP: Is this individuals or lots? Those can be radically different for invertebrates or for invertebrate paleontology. AM: For now it is a count of collection objects, which would include both individuals and lots. To be able to have better accounting, we need to first define better in the collection object the type of object (lots of individuals, whole individual, or parts of an individual), which we do not have yet. | Total number of collection objects in the collection. | Collection Count | "1,234,567" | ||||
