| Definition: | A Validation Test, applied to a SingleRecord, that evaluates: Can the taxon be unambiguously resolved from bdqval:sourceAuthority using the available taxon terms? It returns: EXTERNAL_PREREQUISITES_NOT_MET if the bdqval:sourceAuthority is not available; INTERNAL_PREREQUISITES_NOT_MET if all of dwc:scientificNameID, dwc:scientificName, dwc:genericName, dwc:specificEpithet, dwc:infraspecificEpithet, dwc:scientificNameAuthorship, dwc:cultivarEpithet are bdqval:Empty; COMPLIANT if (1) dwc:scientificNameID references a single taxon record in the bdqval:sourceAuthority, or (2) dwc:scientificNameID is bdqval:Empty and dwc:scientificName references a single taxon record in the bdqval:sourceAuthority, or (3) if dwc:scientificName and dwc:scientificNameID are bdqval:Empty and if a combination of the values of the terms dwc:genericName, dwc:specificEpithet, dwc:infraspecificEpithet, dwc:cultivarEpithet, dwc:taxonRank, and dwc:scientificNameAuthorship can be unambiguously resolved to a unique taxon in the bdqval:sourceAuthority, or (4) if ambiguity produced by multiple matches in (2) or (3) can be disambiguated to a unique Taxon using the values of dwc:tribe, dwc:subtribe, dwc:subgenus, dwc:genus, dwc:subfamily, dwc:family, dwc:superfamily, dwc:order, dwc:class, dwc:phylum, dwc:kingdom, dwc:higherClassification, dwc:taxonID, dwc:acceptedNameUsageID, dwc:originalNameUsageID, dwc:taxonConceptID and dwc:vernacularName; otherwise NOT_COMPLIANT. It uses the following default authority and/or parameter values: GBIF Backbone Taxonomy. Its behavior can be altered by the following parameter(s): bdqval:sourceAuthority. |
