Site Tax Table (Plant Species)

Source: CORVEG.SITE_TAX

Example row:

LINNAEAN_ID	SITE_ID	IDENTIFICATION_ID	CROWN_TYPE	BASAL_AREA	CROWN_COVER	STEM_DENSITY	NON_STANDARD_ABUNDANCE	DESCRIPTION	MISCELLANEOUS	UPDATE_USER	LAST_UPDATE
1974	3941	3	null	null	null	null	null	null	0	121	2012-02-08 13:19:04

Interpretation in TERN Plot Ontology

Encoding each row in RDF requires:

A plot:SiteTaxon with property plot:taxon pointing to a skos:Concept describing a taxon, and property sosa:isSampleOf pointing to a plot:Site.

Mapping Table

Source Column	Destination RDF Predicate	Comments
`LINNAEAN_ID`	`plot:taxon`	Domain: `plot:SiteTaxon` Range: `skos:Concept` describing the taxon.
`SITE_ID`	`sosa:isSampleOf`	Domain: `plot:SiteTaxon` Range: `plot:Site` describing the Site.
`IDENTIFICATION_ID`	`sosa:isResultOf`	Domain: `plot:SiteTaxon` Range: `sosa:Sampling` with the `sosa:usedProcedure` property describing how this sample `plot:SiteTaxon` was sampled. The range value of the `sosa:usedProcedure` is a narrower concept of Site Taxon Identification Methods matching on the `skos:hiddenLabel`. Custodian comment: The IDENTIFICATION_ID is a LUT to values (Collected Specimen; Vouchered Specimen; Unrecorded; Field Identified). This is useful as it provides a level of reliability for the species identification.
`CROWN_TYPE`		Not captured by TERN Plot Ontology. Custodian comment: CROWN_TYPE is legacy and no use to users
`BASAL_AREA`		Not captured by TERN Plot Ontology. Custodian comment: BASAL_AREA and STEM_DENSITY were supposed to be automatically calculated and populated fields but that feature never worked. No use to users.
`CROWN_COVER`		Not captured by TERN Plot Ontology. Custodian comment: CROWN_COVER, not sure why this field is here but if it has no values in to than it was not implemented and of no use
`STEM_DENSITY`		Not captured by TERN Plot Ontology. Custodian comment: Custodian comment: BASAL_AREA and STEM_DENSITY were supposed to be automatically calculated and populated fields but that feature never worked. No use to users.
`NON_STANDARD_ABUNDANCE`		Not captured by TERN Plot Ontology.
`DESCRIPTION`	`dct:description`	Domain: `plot:SiteTaxon` Range: String literal
`MISCELLANEOUS`		Not captured by TERN Plot Ontology.
`UPDATE_USER`		Not captured by TERN Plot Ontology.
`LAST_UPDATE`	`dct:modified`	Database entry or last modified time. Encoded with literal as type `xsd:dateTime`.
