Description
Label a supplied taxonomic name-resolution state.
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.
Label a supplied taxonomic name-resolution state.
When to use this tool
Use Species List Unresolved Name Status when you already have nameRecordId, resolutionStatus and need to label a supplied taxonomic name-resolution state.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter nameRecordId, resolutionStatus. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read label. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty nameRecordId and status resolved, unresolved, ambiguous or not-reviewed; append it in square brackets.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| nameRecordId | Name Record Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| resolutionStatus | Resolution Status | Required. Text; one of "resolved", "unresolved", "ambiguous", "not-reviewed"; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| label | Label | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"nameRecordId": "N17",
"resolutionStatus": "unresolved"
},
"output": {
"label": "N17 [unresolved]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The status is asserted, not calculated by matching a name, consulting a taxonomy or resolving identification uncertainty.
- 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.
