3. Conservation Data CenterIdaho Fish and Game
4. Data Sources Receive data from a variety of sources:
Herbaria/Museum Specimens
Rare Plant / Animal Observation Forms
Published Scientific Journals
Unpublished resources
Academia
Botanist / Biologist field notes
5. What is an Element Occurrence?
6. data management tool
has both spatial and tabular components including a mappable feature and associated data Element Occurrence Record (EOR)
8. EORep Generation
9. What does an EORep look like?
11. Data Processing Mapping each location accurately and entering data from a variety of sources can be challenging.
12. BIOTICS CDC data management tool
Mapper: Enables us to map locations digitally using ArcView 3.2
Tracker: Relational database using Oracle
Reporting using Crystal Reports.

15. Spatial Linework Whoa, that looks different!
We want points!
This is a mess!
How am I going to display this?
16. Why the data look this way EOReps are polygons to incorporate Locational Uncertainty.
Locational uncertainty is affected by:
survey techniques and equipment
expertise of collector
amount and type of information collected
17. High Locational Uncertainty
20. Why is this so important? Querying points returns only 1 EO.
Querying polygons indicates that possibly 3 EOs are present.
