August 2012 Data Export ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase – FEATURE CLASSES *File unchanged from February 2012 export
August 2012 Data Export ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase - TABLES • Additional information to plant observation • Only associated with PCD points, lines, and polygons
August 2012 Data Export ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase – RELATES • There are 12 relates, 4 relates per PCD feature class • Each relate establishes a connection between the PCD points, lines, and polygon feature classes to the 4 PCD tables.
August 2012 Data Export ArcGIS 10.0 –LAYER FILES * same files sent February 2012
What is new for Plants (PCD) • Since February 2012, incorporated more than 400 observations, more than 500 in the last year. • 80 EOs were added or updated since February 2012, almost 100 in the last year.
Plant EOs updated in 2012 • 25 species updated • Federally Listed • SW Idaho, BLM priority • EOs are a product, updated from content within the PCD • Are there more you need to have updated?
What is new for Animals (ACD) • Added almost 10,000 additional animal observations since February, almost 12,500 in the last year. Big datasets worked on in the last 6 months: • Idaho WaterbirdSurvey • Golden Eagle and Raptor Inventory • Updated existing locations-Columbia Spotted Frog, pop. 3 (Ranaluteiventrispop. 3) • Southern Idaho Ground Squirrel (Spermophilusbrunneusendemicus)
What is new for Observations • Sent as a feature class in current export • Online submission draft ‘teaser’ export • Minimal attributes, just over 400 observations • https://fishandgame.idaho.gov/ifwis/observations/
Tip: Fields EO_ID and EO_NUM Plant EOs • [EO_ID ] = unique identifier for plant EOs in our database system (different than EO #) • [EO_Num] (EO #) = unique identifier for that plant species. These numbers will remain the same through time. Are assigned to an occurrence when created and can only change if it merges with another or is dropped. • Field [OldEO_ID] in 2012 exports was previously EO_ID prior to January 2012. (assigned in a previous and obsolete database system)
TIP: view PCD related records in GIS • Identify • Through the attribute table
TIP: Plant EO, PDF files • One PDF per Plant EO • Provides additional information not in the GIS attribute tables • Hyperlink to GIS for ease in opening files (calculate HOT_LINK field to local location) • PDF file name contains the EO_ID 0
Example EO update – original mapping- Mirabilis macfarlanei , EO 002
Example EO update – new EO boundary Mirabilis macfarlanei , EO 002
TIP: [EO_ID] tie from PCD to EOs • [EO_ID] is within the PCD, point, line, and polygon FC. • Can join to the EO FC to see which sources are incorporated.
Caveat to [EO_ID] tie Not all PCD features will have a tie to EO_ID at this time • Observations to create EOs within the Biotics system are not within PCD. • Not all EOs have been updated based on the observations within PCD.
Tip: Filtering records beyond species name PCD fields • [Confid] – Confidence of species identification • [OBS_BACK] -Observer Background as known to IFWIS • [LOC_ACC] – Location Accuracy • [HabitatRank] – Rank of habitat within observation
Tip: Filtering records beyond species name ACD Fields • [DTA_TYPE]-Observation Type – specimen, observed (seen), vocalization, examined in hand, etc. • [OBS_BACK]-Observer Background as known to IFWIS • [LOC_ACC]-Location Accuracy • [COUNTACC]-Accuracy of count; Absolute, Minimum, Estimate • [OBSCONFD] – Confidence of species identification
