Forensic annotation fields

Use the "Forensic:" annotation fields, to annotate, forensic relevant, information.

The forensic annotation fields are sorted, from 1* to 1+*, by relevance and logical sets A to Z.

The forensic annotation fiels are as following:

---

Forensic: (A1) Taxon of the dead subject, if known?

Specify the taxon of the dead subject, if known.

Forensic: (A2) Estimated taxon of the dead subject, if unknown?

Specify the estimated taxon of the dead subject, if unknown.

Forensic: (B1) Exact number of dead individuals, if known?

Specify the number of dead individuals, if known.

Forensic: (B2) Estimated number of dead individuals, if unknown?

Specify the estimated number of dead individuals.

Forensic: (C1) Does the scene show an ongoing activity or a trace?

Specify if the the scene show an ongoing activity or a trace.

Forensic: (D1) Taxon of the subject that is decomposing the dead subject, if known?

Specify the taxon of the subject that is decomposing the dead subject, if known.

Forensic: (D2) Estimated taxon of the subject that is decomposing the dead subject, if unknown?

Specify the estimated taxon of the subject that is decomposing the dead subject, if unknown.

Forensic: (E1) Reason for death, if known?

Examples: Accident, Age, Disease, Eaten, Fight, Fire, Injury, Poison, Roadkill, Shot, Trap, ...

Forensic: (E2) Suspected rason for death, if unknown?

Examples: Accident, Age, Disease, Eaten, Fight, Fire, Injury, Poison, Roadkill, Shot, Trap, ...

Forensic: (F1) Exact date of death, if known?

Specify the exact date of death, if known?

Forensic: (F2) Estimated date of death?

Estimate the date of death.

Forensic: (G1) Exact time of death, if known?

Specify the exact time of death, if known.

Forensic: (G2) Estimated time of death?

Estimate the time of death.

Forensic: (H1) Annotations?

Provide useful annotations.

Forensic: (I1) DNA of the dead subject?

Provide the DNA of the dead subject?

Forensic: (I2) DNA of a suspect?

Provide the DNA of a suspect?

Series fields

Use the "Series:" fields to create series of observations.

If you do an observation over a long time, parted into multiple subobservations, you can use the series fields, to bundle your long term observation, into an observation set.

A set can contain multiple stages, of which one is the first main stage of the bundle.


A set has a end stage, which can be the first stage it self.


Between the first stage and the last stage, multiple stages can appear, which you can chain together, with the previous observation and the next observation, to the actual observation.

In that way a user can click the first stage which is the main observation as the start of a set. A user can then jump right away to the end stage or click through all stages, in between the start and the end of the bundle, back and forth.

The series fields are as following:

---

Series: (1) First stage? (^--Link)

If the observation is part of a series, provide a link to the first stage.

Series: (2) Previous stage? (<--Link)

If the observation is part of a series, provide a link to the previous stage, before the actual stage.

Series: (3) Next stage? (Link-->)

If the observation is part of a series, provide a link to the next stage, after the actual stage.

Series: (4) End stage? (Link--|)

If the observation is part of a series, provide a link to the end stage.

Biological Spatial Ontology (BSPO) fields

An ontology for respresenting spatial concepts, anatomical axes, gradients, regions, planes, sides and surfaces. These concepts can be used at multiple biological scales and in a diversity of taxa, including plants, animals and fungi. The BSPO is used to provide a source of anatomical location descriptors for logically defining anatomical entity classes in anatomy ontologies.

You are invited to apply the "Biological Spatial Ontology (BSPO)"-fields, to any i-Naturalist observation.
