Question 28: What Methods, Specifics should we use for observations made by photographs? [ZK - Action]

[rondlg]

Description: If an observation was recorded with a camera (i.e. a person taking a photo, not a camera trap), what are the Methods (ColCollectionMethods_tab) and Specifics (ColSpecifics_tab) we should use in the Collection Event record? Something like Method = Photograph; Specifics = details about the camera used ? And should the record type (ColCollectionType) for this still be Human Observation? I don’t think we've recorded this info in EMu before so I wanted to check how we should be doing this.

@zkachian
Response: Record Type = Human observation; Method = Camera; Specifics = camera make/model
Zach - When ready (e.g. import csv or example IRNs), we (IT) can help match the corresponding Multimedia records’ “Capture Device” (AudCaptureDevice - on the Audiovis. Core tab) value to the CE specifics
