Organized in Class (e.g., Occurrence, Event, Location, Taxon): Event

Usage comments (recommendations regarding content, etc., not normative): Recommended best practice is to use a controlled vocabulary.

New term recommended by the Humboldt Extension Task Group so as to be consistent and separate the value and unit into two terms for all applicable fields. Here the proposed term being split is geospatialScopeAreaInSquareKilometers (#32).
