Overview

Descriptors are the general mechanism for describing CollectionObjects (individual specimens) or Otus (taxa).

They come in various types, reflecting the approaches commonly used to describe specimens and OTUs:

Working - raw notes or images, "primal" observations, not yet refined to states or measurements
Qualitative - Represents character/character_state expressions as traditionally understood.
Quantitative - Single measurements.
Sample - Summaries of multiple observations recorded in a statistical manner. Only valid for Otus. For example "length 42-77mm (n=5, min: 42, max:Only valid for Otus."
