Hi Rui, If using the ExtendedMeasurementsOrFacts, as Andrea recommends, I should include the occurrence ID from table occurrences in the column `occurrenceID`.
Is this correct? Ø In this case, I would say yes. In general, that would depend on whether the measurement or fact relates to the event, or to the occurrence. The specification says about occurrenceID: "The identifier of the occurrence the measurement or fact refers to. If not applicable, it should be left empty.". This refers back to the introductory paragraph (see https://tools.gbif.org/dwca-validator/extension.do?id=http://rs.iobis.org/obis/terms/ExtendedMeasurementOrFact), stating that " When used with Event Core it allows to create an additional link between the eMoF and the occurrence extension." In the case of measures of coverage, it would indeed be occurrence related. However, please be aware that this is a contruct that no longer falls withing the "start schema" setup that an IPT supports (and GBIF indexes from): links can only go one level deep from the center, and links between satelite tables (in this case occurrence and eMoF) are not supported. That said, it is a good format for a dataset to exist in though, regardless of GBIF, at indexing, losing some of that information. Alternatively, you could consider using the combination of https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:organismQuantity and https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:organismQuantityType on occurrence records directly for the measure that this fits best, and only use the extension for the other one. There are also the "dynamicProperties" (https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/#dwc:dynamicProperties), though these are now so generic that I am not sure how useful they would be for your case.

Just to be clear, this is how I should do: In the event core, I leave `samplingProtocol` blank, because each event will have two sampling methods. The sampling method should be included in `measurementType`of the (Extended)MeasurementsOrFacts DwC Extension. I am curious what will happen when GBIF ingests the data. Will any of the sampling methods be associated with the occurrences?

The normal option to create this dataset would be to make two event records for each plot, one for each survey method. This allows to preserve all original data, but will result in two occurrences for the same species at the same plot. The other option would be to report only one of the survey methods, avoiding occurrence duplication, but not preserving data for the other method. Would anyone have a suggestion how to prepare the dataset, so that it keeps values for both methods and does not create duplication of occurrences? Or the duplication is not an issue, and we should publish data for both methods?
