Types that may be used for different domains (descriptions, taxonomy, specimen collections, etc.):
Many of the types or elements within the types are resulting from attempts to standardize usage between ABCD and SDD and many originate from Gregor Hagedorn's work on the UBIF schema.
However, note that this is work in progress, so there may be considerable differences between types with the same names in UBIF/SDD and ABCD.

[DwC Geospatial Extension v. 1.4: ] A measure of how well the circle defined by the coordinates and uncertainty match the original spatial representation, as a ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the original spatial representation. Legal values are 0, greater than or equal to 1, or undefined. A value of 1 is an exact match or 100% overlap. A value of 0 should be used if the given georeference does not completely contain the original representation. The PointRadiusSpatialFit is undefined if the original representation is a point without uncertainty and the given georeference is not that same point (without uncertainty).
