What is a georeference?
A numerical description of a place that can be mapped.
What is a georeference?
A numerical description of a place that can be mapped.
What is a georeference?
In other words…
ID Species Locality1 Lynx rufus Dawson Rd. N Whitehorse2 Pudu puda cerca de Valdivia3 Canis lupus 20 mi NW Duluth
9 Ursus arctos Bear Flat, Haines Junction
4 Felis concolor Pichi Trafúl5 Lama alpaca near Cuzco6 Panthera leo San Diego Zoo7 Sorex lyelli Lyell Canyon, Yosemite8 Orcinus orca 1 mi W San Juan Island
What we have:Specimens with Textual Localities
What we want:Mapped, Georeferenced Localities
What is a georeference?
A numerical description of a place that can be mapped.
“Davis, Yolo County, California”
“point method”
Coordinates: 38.5463 -121.7425Horizontal Geodetic Datum: NAD27
What is an acceptable georeference?
A numerical description of a place that can be mapped
and that describes the spatial extent of a locality
and its associated uncertainties.
“Davis, Yolo County, California”
“bounding-box method”
Coordinates: 38.5486 -121.754238.545 -121.7394
Horizontal Geodetic Datum: NAD27
“Davis, Yolo County, California”
“point-radius method”
Coordinates: 38.5468 -121.7469Horizontal Geodetic Datum: NAD27Maximum Uncertainty: 8325 m
What is an ideal georeference?
A numerical description of a place that can be mapped
and that describes the spatial extent of a locality
and its associated uncertaintiesas well as possible.

“shape method”
point easy to produce no data quality
bounding-box simple spatial queriesdifficult quality assessment
point-radius easy quality assessmentdifficult spatial queries

Beyond 1 September 2006
Seek Industry Support for Data Layers
Develop Workbench into Collaboratories
Develop Locality Interpretation in Additional Languages
Why do all of this?
So that those who generate and care for the data
can realize and share its potential.
