coordinate uncertainty
Annotations
A term from the Darwin Core standard where it is referred to as coordinate uncertainty in meters.
Definition
The horizontal distance (in meters) from the given decimal latitude and decimal longitude describing the smallest circle containing the whole of the 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.
