Quality Control
Records are validated for geographical area on import to BIS database. THis is a county dataset that has been verified by county bird recorder. The data was entered by an experienced local ecologist under contract or BIS employees, supervised by BIS. The final spread sheet was again checked by the VC recorder for any obvious errors. Grid references estimated from location names on map could lead to possible error but should be minimal. The computerisation of these records has been subject to validation. The Recorder database automatically validates issues such as date format, correct species name spelling etc on entry.. Data should be checked against original sources before use in contentious circumstance..Method steps
- Records are mostly casual records from field observation.The grid references entered will be at resolution of original record and could be 2 or 4 figures. Due to the nature of bird recording where often only a location is provided and not a grid reference, most of the grid references were derived from a Gazetteer created by BIS and the VC bird recorder.
