This field gives an indication of whether some data quality control has been carried out:3 = remote data collected to approved standards2 = remote data collected to ?internal? standards1 = no standards applied to the collection of the remote data RemoteVintage An indication of the age of the remote data:3 = < 5yrs old.2 = 5 to 10 yrs old.1 = > 10 years old BGTTechnique An assessment of whether the ground-truthing techniques used to produce this map were appropriate to the environment they were used to survey. Use scores for soft or hard substrata as appropriate to the area surveyed.Soft substrata predominate (i.e. those having infauna and epifauna)3 = infauna AND epifauna sampled AND observed (video/stills, direct human observation)2= infauna AND epifauna sampled, but NOT observed (video/stills, direct human observation)1 = infauna OR epifauna sampled, but not both. No observation.Hard substrata predominate (i.e. those with no infauna)3 = sampling included direct human observation (shore survey or diver survey)2 = sampling included video or stills but NO direct human observation1 = benthic sampling only (e.g. grabs, trawls) PGTTechnique An assessment of whether the combination of geophysical sampling techniques were appropriate to the environment they were used to survey. Use scores for soft or hard substrata as appropriate to the area surveyed.Soft substrata predominate (i.e. gravel, sand, mud)3 = full geophysical analysis (i.e. granulometry and/or geophysical testing (penetrometry, shear strenght etc))2 = sediments described following visual inspection of grab or core samples (e.g. slightly shelly, muddy sand)1 = sediments described on the basis of remote observation (by camera).Hard substrata predominate (i.e. rock outcrops, boulders, cobbles)3 = sampling included in-situ, direct human observation (shore survey or diver survey)2 = sampling included video or photographic observation, but NO in-situ, direct human observation1 = samples obtained only by rock dredge (or similar) GTPositioning An indication of the positioning method used for the ground-truth data:3 = differential GPS2 = GPS (not differential) or other non-satellite 'electronic' navigation system1 = chart based navigation, or dead-reckoning GTDensity An assessment of what proportion of the polygons or classes (groups of polygons with the same ?habitat? attribute) actually contain ground-truth data:3 = Every class in the map classification was sampled at least 3 times2 = Every class in the map classification was sampled1 = Not all classes in the map classification were sampled (some classes have no ground-truth data) GTStdsApplied An assessment of whether standards have been applied to the collection of the ground-truth data.
