HISPID Mapping to ABCD
From HISCOM
The purpose of a HISPID to ABCD mapping is to facilitate a number of projects that rely on Australian data, namely:
- Make it possible to validate a HISPID document by converting HISPID to ABCD with restriction as necessary to continue the use of a restricted vocabulary in the Australian context.
- Make it possible to further map to the TDWG Ontology. Specifically either TaxonOccurrence or its predecessor Specimen.
Below are mappings from HISPID3 to ABCD2.06. All paths rooted at Unit or Identification/Result - it should be evident from the context which is used. Please use the discussion (talk) page at the top to raise any questions or discuss this page.
MoU Fields
A reduced set of fields known as the AVH Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) fields is the short set of fields listed in that document. These fields are the most useful set of fields and thus are the highest priority set to deliver to Australia's Virtual Herbarium (AVH).
Full Name (fulnam)
Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/FullScientificNameString
HISPID Comments Accept.
Scientific Name (fam, gen, sp, etc.)
Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/*
HISPID Comments Restrict - to botanical code names. Extend - add cultivated code names to HISPID extension and map cultivated names to FullScientificNameString.
Institution Code (insid)
Maps to: SourceInstitutionID
HISPID Comments Accept.
Accession Identifier (accid)
Maps to: UnitID
HISPID Comments Accept.
Collector's Name(s) (cnam, cnam2, cper)
Maps to: If institution is able to provide atomised collectors then use Gathering/Agents/GatheringAgent/AgentText + Gathering/Agents/GatheringAgent[@sequence] + optional Gathering/Agents/GatheringAgent[@primarycollector] = "true" ("false" for cnam2)
Fallback: when the collectors can not be broken into individual items, all collectors can be provided as a single string in Gathering/Agents/GatheringAgentsText.
Notes: In AgentText, follow HISPID formatting (surname, initial) for people. Sorting starts on primarycollector attribute, and continues with sequence attribute. Sequence attribute starts at 1 and increments according to each individual collector. See also cper. Where possible, provide atomised data using the Person and/or Organisation elements.
HISPID Comments Accept. Extend by adding a boolean "perCollector" attribute to Agents/GatheringAgent.
Collector's Number (cid)
Maps to: CollectorsFieldNumber
HISPID Comments Accept.
Collection Date (cdat)

Note: includes state or territory.
HISPID Comments New - full name for states, mixed case.

HISPID Comments Restrict - to full official country names in mixed case as used in ISO 3166-1.
Approximated Geocode (latdeg, latmin, latsec, latdir, londeg, lonmin, lonsec, londir, sgp)
Maps to: Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/CoordinatesLatLong/LatitudeDecimal + Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/CoordinatesLatLong/LongitudeDecimal + Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/SpatialDatum
AND / OR Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/CoordinatesUTM/UTMZone + Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/CoordinatesUTM/UTMEasting + Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/CoordinatesUTM/UTMNorthing

HISPID Comments Restrict - to HISPID vocabulary.
Geocode Precision (geoacy)
Maps to: Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/ CoordinatesLatLong/CoordinateErrorDistanceInMeters

notes: Use ABCD vocabulary, current HISPID values mapped to:
-
PreservedSpecimen(HISPID3 - Collection) -

Supra-family (supfam)
Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonName + e.g. ~/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonRank = "phylum"
notes: e.g. "Macropodoidea", "Lamiales", "Angiospermae". Differs from HISPID in that as many higher taxon names and ranks can be applied to the record. Note that if a record is determined only to a genus or higher rank then the genusOrMonomial element must be filled.
HISPID Comments Accept.
Family (fam)
Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonName + ~/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonRank = "familia"
notes: e.g. "Asteraceae". See note under Supra-family.
HISPID Comments Accept.
Supra-genus (supgen)
Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonName + ~/TaxonIdentified/HigherTaxa/HigherTaxon/HigherTaxonRank = "supergenus"
notes: e.g. "Astereae". See note under Supra-family.

notes: (HISPID assumes genus-level hybrid). Use HISPID vocabulary.
HISPID Comments Accept - for named hybrids and graft chimeras.
Name Formula (for hybrids and other formulas)
notes: New element needed to be able to represent parents of taxa. Preferably ABCD extended to use TCS.
HISPID Comments New - make it possible to store name formulae atomised in the HISPID Extension.
Genus (gen)
Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Botanical/GenusOrMonomial

Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/FullScientificNameString
notes: Walter Berendsohn notes in his mapping of HISPID3 to ABCD 1.49d that "hybrid formulas are accommodated by ScientificName/FullNameString and not presently further atomised". This doesn't appear to have changed in ABCD 2.06.
HISPID Comments Exclude - hybrids are dealt with in Name Formula, so this is not needed.
Species Author (spau)
Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Botanical/AuthorTeamParenthesis + ~/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Botanical/AuthorTeam
notes: Only lowest level is included in ABCD, so ABCD strict fields should not be filled in if this has an infraspecific name (not an autonym).
HISPID Comments Accept.
Infraspecific Rank (isprk)

Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/FullScientificNameString
notes: Walter Berendsohn notes in his mapping of HISPID3 to ABCD 1.49d that "hybrid formulas are accommodated by ScientificName/FullNameString and not presently further atomised". This doesn't appear to have changed in ABCD 2.06.
HISPID Comments Exclude - hybrids are dealt with in Name Fomula, so this is not needed.

HISPID Comments Exclude - hybrids are dealt with in Name Formula, so this is not needed.
Second Infraspecific Epithet (isp2)
Maps to: Does not map
notes: Only lowest level rank is included in ABCD. Note that if intermediate ranks are not supplied it makes it impossible to query on the current AVH (e.g. for subspecies that are identified to form). This problem is outside the scope of this document.

other type fields
notes: ABCD uses repeated elements for types, so HISPID fields are redundant
Verification Level Flag (vlev)

HISPID Comments Resrict - to HISPID values:
-
0- (zero) The name of the record has not been checked by any authority - includes temporary sorting determinations -

2- The name of the record determined by a taxonomist or by other competent persons using herbarium and/or library and/or documented living material -
3- The name of the plant determined by taxonomist engaged in systematic revision of the group -
4- The record is part of type gathering or propagated from type material by asexual methods
Comments: If it is not known whether the name of the record has been verified by an authority, then this field must not be filled.

Rank Qualifier Flag (rkql)
Maps to: ~/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/IdentificationQualifier[@insertionpoint]
Notes: There is a different vocabulary between HISPID and ABCD. Suggest the following mappings:
This is a tricky mapping because it depends on the level to which the specimen has been identified. From my reading, the mapping would be:
- B : no mapping possible
- F : 1 (because if identified to family this has to be included in FullScientificNameString see HigherTaxa)
- G : 1
- S : 2
- I : 3
- J : 4 (if there was a 4 in ABCD)
- C : no mapping possible

HISPID Comments Accept.

Sorting starts on primarycollector attribute, and continues with sequence attribute. Sequence attribute starts at 1 and increments according to each individual collector.
'Per' Collector (cper)
HISPID Comments Exclude - put this as the last AgentText in the repeatable Agents/GatheringAgent (that with the largest @sequence attribute) and append "(per)".

notes: We cannot use /BotanicalGardenUnit for this information, because strictly it is used for transferring data about living accessions i.e. the current unit is the living plant. However in HISPID, the unit is the voucher specimen and the fields tcul, prot and prohis relate to living material associated with the voucher. Therefore to transfer this data under these ABCD fields it would require creating a new unit for the living accession and then use the /Associations elements to establish the link between the voucher and the living accession. Easiest to create some more generalised fields under MeasurementsOrFacts
HISPID Comments New - the field needs to be extended in definition to "material types gathered at time of collection", the element might be named: FieldCollectionComponent.
Allowed values:
-
