  • Georeferencing Best Practices, Chapman & Wieczorek 2020. This document deals with the theoretical aspects (how to, and why, sources of uncertainty) of spatially enabling information about the location of biodiversity-related phenomena, including special consideration for ecological marine and paleontological data. It also covers approaches to large-scale and collaborative georeferencing projects. See the “Georeferencing Documentation” video below for a comparison of this document with others linked in this section.

  • Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Zermoglio et al. 2020. This document accompanies Georeferencing Best Practices and provides a practical how-to guide for putting the theory of the point-radius georeferencing method into practice. See the “Georeferencing Documentation” video below for a comparison of this document with others linked in this section.

  • Georeferencing Calculator Manual, Bloom et al. 2020. See the “Georeferencing Documentation” video below for a comparison of this document with others linked in this section.

  • Georeferencing Calculator , Wieczorek & Wieczorek 2020. This is a browser-based javascript application that accompanies the Georeferencing Calculator Manual and aids in georeferencing descriptive localities by providing methods to help obtain geographic coordinates and uncertainties for locations.

  • Georeferencing.org, a knowledge hub for georeferencing tools and best practices, including the documents linked above.

  • Darwin Core terms related to location

  • Recommendations for paleo collections using Darwin Core, this document is a work in progress; feel free to comment.
