Record locality #
Locality is the description of where a record was made, saved with one record. It corresponds to iNaturalist place_guess, and the nearest Darwin Core field is dwc:locality.
How locality differs from a site #
Locality is text attached to a record. A site is an object that groups records by GPS and radius. Changing the locality does not change other records and does not create a relation.
For a complete comparison, see Region, site and observation locality.
Reverse geocoding #
ENTOMONE can read a locality from the map through OpenStreetMap (OSM). The result is a suggestion; you can type or correct the locality name manually.
iNaturalist #
When publishing to iNaturalist, the locality can be sent as place_guess. GPS and radius are compatible with iNaturalist.
