Cognised existence: a species occurrence record tied to a location and observation time, documenting biodiversity evidence in the landscape or water environment.

Core Question

Which species have been observed at this location, and when were they recorded?

Scope

  • Point or area-based species observation records
  • Historical and recent biodiversity observations
  • Taxon-level occurrence and observer-linked metadata
  • Observation exchanges and standards such as Darwin Core
  • Regulatory-focused subsets such as Habitatdirektivets bilag IV observations

Typical Realisations

  • Alle fund fra Arter.dk
  • Alle fund fra Arter.dk, historiske
  • Arter Resultat
  • Artsfund i Naturdatabasen (Darwin Core)
  • Fund af arter på Habitatdirektivets bilag IV fra Arter.dk

Interpretation Note

This leaf models observation evidence, not management units. It complements ecosystem, fauna, and habitat interpretations by providing event-level occurrences.
