Hi Rui, What about using SampleEvent core with MeasurementOrFacts <https://tools.gbif.org/dwca-validator/extension.do?id=dwc:MeasurementOrFact> DwC extension to store both event measurements(BraunBlanquet Scale value and % of coverage.) in addition to the Occurrence DwC extension for the occurrences. No duplicates and you keep all original data. My2cents
