New field to ID quality of concept?
Added by Michael Lee over 20 years ago.
Updated about 18 years ago.
Description
Do we need a new field to identify the quality of the plant/comm concept: Pyle
has something like this on a 1-5 scale, from detailed monograph to newspaper
mentioning. If so, we can add this to our list of things to add to the model
when we change it the next time.
One of the fields in the BIOTICS definitions of communities is "Confidence
Level" I am not sure where they store this, but it comes pretty close to
Pyle's quality index. In fact, we could prepopulate all the communities with
this value. I have no way to know how to prepopulate concepts in taxa. We
could build it in, but it would not be used much. Let's leave this on the
list to consider at the time of the next model revision.
