Description
Format supplied establishment-means wording and source for an occurrence.
Biodiversity records distinguish surveyed sites, nondetection, counts, sampling units, voucher references and source-qualified taxonomic states. A coordinate-precision label changes metadata rather than protecting a location. Relative abundance and mean count per represented unit depend on their supplied denominators and survey scope.
Format supplied establishment-means wording and source for an occurrence.
When to use this tool
Use Occurrence Establishment Means Tag when you already have occurrenceId, recordedMeans, vocabularySource and need to format supplied establishment-means wording and source for an occurrence.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter occurrenceId, recordedMeans, vocabularySource. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read tag. Use the output convention below.
Require occurrenceId, recordedMeans and vocabularySource nonempty; display occurrenceId [recordedMeans; vocabularySource].1

"input": {
"occurrenceId": "O17",
"recordedMeans": "introduced",
"vocabularySource": "dataset vocabulary"
},
"output": {
"tag": "O17 [introduced; dataset vocabulary]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- Literal wording is not checked against a controlled vocabulary, biological evidence or a live source. No establishment process or accepted status is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review specimens, original observations, sampling design and controlled taxonomic sources. Use complete detection, population and spatial methods when a local count fraction, source label or precision bin cannot answer the ecological or disclosure question.
