Field definition

The field definition of the mapping table.

field definition
obis-qc_github_issue The GitHub issue from obis-qc repository where mapping was performed and discussed.
obis-qc_information_element An information element identifies a portion of data to which a test pertains.
obis-qc_description The description of the test.
obis-qc_flag A quality flag assigned to the record if the record is not compliant to the test.
bdq_test_label The label of a BDQ test.
bdq_github_issue The GitHub issue from bdq repository which the obis-qc test is mapped to. Most of the mapping is exact match. Differences is documented in the field remarks.
bdq_param same as bdq:Parameter. A value provided to a test that changes the behavior of a test to fit a particular user need within the scope of the test. Either 1) a link to a bdq:sourceAuthority to find matching values, or 2) a value used to define limits for a bdqffdq:InformationElement.
obis-qc_param A value provided to a test that changes the behavior of a test to fit a particular user need within the scope of the test. Either 1) a link to a obis:sourceAuthority to find matching values, or 2) a value used to define limits for a obis-qc_information_element.
bdq_source_authority same as bdq:sourceAuthority. An authority using the "bdq" namespace that provides a reference for values required for a test evaluation. Where the test is a bdq:ParameterizedTest a bdq:defaultSourceAuthority ("bdq:sourceAuthority default = xxx") is specified.
obis-qc_source_authority An authority using the "obis" namespace that provides a reference for values required for a test evaluation. Where the test is a bdq:ParameterizedTest a bdq:defaultSourceAuthority ("bdq:sourceAuthority default = xxx") is specified.
remarks Any remarks to capture decisions or difference(s) identified between the obis-qc test and the BDQ core test it mapped to.

Vocabulary of the terms used in the mapping

term definition
obis:earliestValidDate The earliest date in a bdq:ParameterizedTest decided for obis-qc.
obis:latestValidDate The latest date in a bdq:ParameterizedTest decided for obis-qc.
obis:minimumValidDepthInMeters The minimum depth in a bdq:ParameterizedTest decided for obis-qc.
obis:maximumValidDepthInMeters The minimum depth in a bdq:ParameterizedTest decided for obis-qc.
obis:bufferedBathymetricMeanDepth The value of bufferedBathymetricMeanDepth is obtained with the formula bufferedBathymetricMeanDepth = slope * mean bathymetric depth of grid + intercept where current slope = 1.1 and intercept = 50. Please see: https://github.com/iobis/obis-qc/issues/14
obis:bathymetricMaxDepth The maximum depth specified by the bathymetry layer.
obis:taxonNotExclusivelyFreshwaterOrTerrestrial A taxon that is not specified as exclusively freshwater or exclusively terrestrial according to WoRMS (https://www.marinespecies.org/).
obis:geospatialLand Polygons for all land areas in the world derived from OpenStreetMap: https://osmdata.openstreetmap.de/data/land-polygons.html
obis:spatialBufferInMeters A buffer in meters from a polygon (geopolitical boundary, coastline, etc.).
obis:sourceAuthority An authority using the "obis" namespace that provides a reference for values required for a test evaluation. Where the test is a bdq:ParameterizedTest a bdq:defaultSourceAuthority ("bdq:sourceAuthority default = xxx") is specified.
