This represents some very basic element information. Specifically the name and rank. This represents the list of possible element major types. E.g., Plant, Animal, Community. This is used as a base type for lists of authors. The optional displayValue attribute, if present, contains the complete list of authors. The displayValue attribute may be present when the "author" elements have not been populated. This is for cases where the database value being mapped contains the displayValue, and the individual author names are not being parsed. This represents the most basic components of what will be contained in a NatureServe status: The rank and the rounded rank. This is the combination of a code, a description of what the code represents, a searchValue, and a comment. This is the combination of a code and a description of what the code represents. This is meant to be a generic way to describe a code. A code has a type and a value. An example of this would be a code of type FIPS with a value of "The fips code" 06025 This represents a code. This represents a code as an attribute and the value associated with the code as the content. Sample Value The formattedName contains html markup. The unformattedName does not. In a lot of cases for name fields in Biotics Tracker, the user enters the formmatted version of a name, with html markup and such in it, and then tracker processes the formmatted name into the unformmatted name. Still a lot of applications depend on the formatted name. These are the non-natureserve statuses. This is the basic types that is used to represent species in the taxonomic heirarchy This is meant to represent a class that contains an orders as well as having a name This is meant to represent a family that contains a genus as well as having a name This is meant to represent a genus that contains genus size. This is meant to represent a kingdom that contains a phylum as well as having a name This is meant to represent an order that contains a family as well as having a name This is meant to capture who is the responsible party for a given status type R5 - Northeast This is meant to represent a phylum that contains a class as well as having a name This is the set of zero or more citations This represent a unit of mesasurement, with the unit of the unit of measurement appearing as an attribute This is meant to be a generic way to describe a code. A code has a id and a value. An example of this would be a code of type FIPS with a value of "The fips code" 06025
