dwc:coordinateUncertaintyInMeters

A term from the Darwin Core standard:

The horizontal distance (in meters) from the given dwc:decimalLatitude and dwc:decimalLongitude describing the smallest circle containing the whole of the dcterms:Location. Leave the value empty if the uncertainty is unknown, cannot be estimated, or is not applicable (because there are no coordinates). Zero is not a valid value for this term.

Examples

  • 30 (reasonable lower limit on or after 2000-05-01 of a GPS reading under good conditions if the actual precision was not recorded at the time)
  • 100 (reasonable lower limit before 2000-05-01 of a GPS reading under good conditions if the actual precision was not recorded at the time)
  • 71 (uncertainty for a UTM coordinate having 100 meter precision and a known spatial reference system)
