In the following all elements of UDDF version 3.2.0 are listed. For each element a description is given which comprises these seven points:

abundance

Occurrence

optional, single

Attributes

quality=exact | estimated
This attribute indicates the exactness of the giving of the number of individuals. Possible values are exact in case the number of individuals is exactly given, or estimated in case the number is only an estimated value (e.g. the number of individuals in a swarm). — optional

occurrence=kind of occurrence of animals (solitary, swarm, colony etc.)
Allowed keywords for the kind of occurrence of animals are: not-ascertainable, single-individual, loose-association, swarm, colony. — optional

Description

Indicates the number of individuals (abundance) of a species seen (given as an integer). If the number of individuals cannot be ascertained, either <abundance> is omitted, or <abundance>0</abundance> is given. The attribute quality describes the "quality" of the giving of the number of individuals. Additionally, in case of describing an animal the attribute occurrence can be given. With plants, to describe the degree of covering <dominance> is available.

Examples

<!-- abundance couldn't be ascertained -->
<!-- (in this case the element also can be omitted) -->
<abundance>0</abundance>
                
<!-- 10 individuals (animals, or plants) seen -->
<abundance>10</abundance>
                
<!-- 10 individuals (animals, or plants) seen -->
<!-- (this form giving the attribute quality="exact" is the same as above, because -->
<!-- of this minor number we can assume that the value is an exact one) -->
<abundance quality="exact">10</abundance>
                
<!-- swarm of 30 individuals seen, but the number is more or less guessed -->
<abundance occurrence="swarm" quality="estimated">30</abundance>
