ArcGIS 10.0 File Geodatabase – RELATES
There are 12 relates, 4 relates per PCD feature class
Each relate establishes a connection between the PCD points, lines, and polygon feature classes to the 4 PCD tables.

What is new for Observations
Sent as a feature class in current export

Minimal attributes, just over 400 observations

[EO_ID ] = unique identifier for plant EOs in our database system (different than EO #)
[EO_Num] (EO #) = unique identifier for that plant species. These numbers will remain the same through time. Are assigned to an occurrence when created and can only change if it merges with another or is dropped.
Field [OldEO_ID] in 2012 exports was previously EO_ID prior to January 2012. (assigned in a previous and obsolete database system)
Tip: Fields EO_ID and EO_NUM Plant EOs
TIP: view PCD related records in GIS
IdentifyThrough the attribute table
TIP: Plant EO, PDF files
0
One PDF per Plant EOProvides additional
information not in the GIS attribute tables
Hyperlink to GIS for ease in opening files (calculate HOT_LINK field to local location)
PDF file name contains the EO_ID
Example EO update – original mapping- Mirabilis macfarlanei , EO 002
Example EO update – new data Mirabilis macfarlanei , EO 002
Example EO update – new EO boundaryMirabilis macfarlanei , EO 002
TIP: [EO_ID] tie from PCD to EOs[EO_ID] is within the PCD, point, line, and
polygon FC.Can join to the EO FC to see which sources
are incorporated.
Caveat to [EO_ID] tieNot all PCD features will have a tie to EO_ID at this time
Observations to create EOs within the Biotics system are not within PCD.
Not all EOs have been updated based on the observations within PCD.
Tip: Filtering records beyond species name
PCD fields[Confid] – Confidence of species identification [OBS_BACK] -Observer Background as known
to IFWIS[LOC_ACC] – Location Accuracy[HabitatRank] – Rank of habitat within
