Description

Record an explicit reptile body-condition reference model and version.

Reptile and amphibian records distinguish specimen identity, anatomical measurement, observation effort, date uncertainty and location protection. Unobserved status differs from recorded absence, while a call-overlap label uses supplied intervals. These local records and geometric terms do not identify a species, infer health or establish adequate field practice.

Record an explicit reptile body-condition reference model and version.

When to use this tool

Use Reptile Body Condition Reference Source Tag when you already have measurementId, suppliedReferenceModel, sourceVersion and need to record an explicit reptile body-condition reference model and version.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter measurementId, suppliedReferenceModel, sourceVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

Enter measurementId, suppliedReferenceModel, sourceVersion using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • The result records supplied values without calculating or interpreting condition. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
  • 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 original observations, specimens, calibrated images and survey logs for substantive interpretation. Use the appropriate complete biological or survey method, and protect underlying location data; local labels and display replacements do not perform those tasks.
