Planting record

Pre-release. This site describes standard version 0.7.0-dev, which is in development and may change before version 1.0.0.

The record of a planting day at one site: the provenance claim that each listed tree individual’s planted state was produced by this planting activity (ADR-0005). Carries observation-level evidence (ADR-0004). The fieldworker’s form is flat; the shape requires this structure of the export.

Kind of: StateProvenanceClaim

Rules

  • A species may be planted outside its suitable vegetation types only with a supervisor override and reason.
  • At a site cleared with conditions, every named condition must be recorded as met by a site preparation record before planting.
  • Every tree in a planting record stands at a position belonging to the record’s site.
  • Instance data must not use the standard’s namespace https://nova.org.za/ncgs/ (ADR-0002: instances are urn:uuid: IRIs).
  • Planting at a site requires the landowner agreement to be signed, or agreed verbally where the project design accepts that for the site’s type (ADR-0030), in force when the planting was observed: the agreement is a precondition of putting a tree in the ground (decision register D-3.5, ADR-0019).
  • Planting may take place only at a site whose latest assessment determination is suitable or suitable with conditions (ADR-0006).
  • A record moves to another site only by a supervisor’s or an office analyst’s correction in one role, observed at one zoned time, to a registered site current when it moves, and with each thing its restatement group introduced before it withdrawn or replaced by the move or a correction before it (ADR-0027).
  • A restatement is a record of the same type as the record it restates (ADR-0018).
  • A restatement is about the same site as the record it restates, or follows in its restatement group, unless a supervisor’s or an office analyst’s correction moves it (ADR-0018, ADR-0027).
  • A restatement is observed after the record it restates: it is the later observation that governs (ADR-0018).
  • A restatement says why the fact is restated, in a sentence or more (ADR-0018).
  • A site registration never moves: its correction registers the site its original registered, and a site registered in error is replaced (ADR-0027).
