The CatalogNumberText as a numeric value, if applicable. This element allows searching on numeric ranges of CatalogNumbers. An identifying string applied to the object or observation at the time of collection. Serves as a link between field notes and the object or observations. An identifying string applied to a set of objects or observations resulting from a single collecting event. The time of day the object or observation was collected from the field, expressed as decimal hours from midnight, local time (e.g., 12.0 = noon, 13.5 = 1:30pm). The verbatim original representation of the date (and time) information for the collecting event. A flag marking the existence of, or a reference to, notes taken in the field for the object or observation. The name of the system in which the original geographic coordinates were recorded (e.g., "decimal degrees", "degrees minutes seconds", "UTM", etc.). A text representation of the coordinate data (Latitude/Longitude, UTM, TRS, etc.) in its original format in the source database. Comments about the geographic coordinate determination. The minimum altitude in meters above (positive) or below (negative) sea level of the collecting locality. The maximum distance in meters above (positive) or below (negative) sea level of the collecting locality. A text representation of the altitude in its original format in the source database. The minimum distance in meters below the surface of the water at which the collection was made; all material collected was at least this deep. Use positive values for locations below the surface, negative for locations above the surface (e.g., above sea level in tidal areas). The maximum distance in meters below the surface of the water at which the collection was made; all material collected was at most this deep. Use positive values for locations below the surface, negative for locations above the surface (e.g., above sea level in tidal areas).). A text representation of the depth in its original format in the source database. The name(s) of the person(s) who applied the currently accepted ScientificName to the object or observation. The four digit year in the Common Era calendar in which the object or observation was identified as having the ScientificName. The two digit month in the Common Era calendar during which the object or observation was identified. The two digit day of the month in the Common Era calendar during which the object or observation was identified. The sex of a biological individual represented by the cataloged object or observation (e.g., male, female, hermaphrodite, gynandromorph, not recorded, indeterminate, transitional - between sexes, for sequential hermaphrodites). The age class, reproductive stage, or life stage of the biological individual (e.g., juvenile, adult, eft, nymph, etc.) referred to by the catalog number. A concatenated list of preparations and preservation methods (skin, skull, skeleton, whole animal (ETOH), slide, etc.) for the object. Does not apply to observations. A concatenated list of tissues and preservation methods (whole (frozen), liver (EDTA), etc.) for the object. Does not apply to observations. GenBank Accession number(s) associated with the biological individual(s) referred to by the cataloged object. A list of previous or alternative fully qualified catalog numbers for the same object or observation, whether in the current collection or in any other. The fully qualified identifier (InstitutionCode+" "+CollectionCode+" "+CatalogNumberText) of the related object or observation, preceded by the nature of the relationship (e.g., "(sibling of) MVZ Mamm 1234"). The current disposition of the cataloged item (e.g., "in collection", "lost", "voucher elsewhere", etc. Free text comments accompanying the object or observation record. A concrete digir:listType specifying all elements available for multiCOP operations.
