Terms that indicate that a record is an intervention (sampling action, catch)

[PietrH]

Strings to look for in the "Actie" field:

• vangst
• nevenvangst
• geschud
• gevangen

check glob: (vang)
check glob: (schud)

aantal ?

for Vespa valutina:

• Nest bestreden -> it was removed/killed
• NOT: Nest verwijderd -> the nest was removed from the tree
• NOT: Nest niet verwijderd

Planten

• behandeld
• if there is an action, it's always an intervention

For effort

The record always reflects the current situation, but if you want to know what has changed, you need to look at the previous record(s). So it doesn't show the history, it does show the current situation.

So if you want to know what traps were out when the animal was caught, you need to look at what material was out in the previous record.

If there is a catch in the first record, assume no material was used. (Or material was unknown)

[PietrH]

If it is not an action, it's an observation. It could be an absence, but it's still an observation.

[PietrH]

waarneming is only ever entered once per case, but is repeated per record in a case. So the first record is always an observation, but could also be an intervention.

[PietrH]

The first record doesn't need to be the one where waarneming is filled in, but the first one where it is filled in, is the one that should count as casual observation

If there are records without waarneming, before one is entered, they are administrative steps before the first field visit from RATO.

[PietrH]

For an observation, we need to look at the status field, it should be openstaand_veldwerker or opvolging

If status has any other status, it is an administrative record, that should not be published.

[PietrH]

It's more complicated:

Status in {openstaand_veldwerker, opvolger}{

• name of veldwerker different than the one of the previous record (including empty to non empty) is the value of the Planning_uitvoerders field changed relative to the previous record
  }
  else {
• if action field is one of (vang, schud aantal, nest bestreden, behandeld) {action}else{observation}

}else{skip the record}

[PietrH]

It's okay if Planning_uitvoerders is empty, if it remains empty, that's because if it's empty, it's assigned to everyone

[PietrH]

We are not receiving this status field I suspect, so we can't use it in this decision tree

[PietrH]

casual observation

I assume basisOfRecord should be set to casual observation if it's an observation, and to humanObservation if it's an intervention (??)

[PietrH]

I do have Dossier_Status but not Planning_uitvoerders

[PietrH]

In Dossier_Status I only have Opvolging or Verwerkt en afgesloten

[PietrH]

For rats:

on private land, the owner can call that they saw a rat, this is an occurrence. But we don't get these records (dossier status Opvolging administratie or openstaand veldwerker), otherwise it's an intervention:

There should be a field Materiaal_consumptie -> then it's definitely a management interaction, unless it's bak buis, those are always a management intervention.

It's possible if you do a management interaction that you don't see a rat, it could be a trail or a mark. If the poison is not eaten, the status should change to afgewerkt en afgesloten. But it is really more complicated:

On private land, they only go once, explain what they have to do, startup with vermin, and then they have to do it themselves, so then we don't know what happened next.

If they see a rat or traces, they might (very rarely) put it in action or waarneming, but it's not a general thing.

So as a conclusion, for rats, we don't get any occurrence data really.
