24 | GeoreferencesDecimalLatitude | YG2 | dwc:decimalLatitude | NDP: I'm assuming that YG2 means that there can be two of these. This is common for marine trawl specimens (trawl-start and trawl-end). This defines a linear track (not corners of a two-dimensional shape). Assuming this case can be accomodated, why not treat the "DistanceToSurface" set the same way? AM: YG2 is meant as a history of centroids assigned by different people/systems (e.g., the result of GeoLocate crowdsourcing). To specify a line, GML field should be used.

37 | MinimumDistanceToSurface | NDP: Having depth defined as a negative number is going to cause large numbers of bogus records. Is there any "standard" that uses this convention? I don't think anyone in marine or limnological work uses depth this way. That's even true when there's a lake (with a positive Altitude) — even then, depth would be recorded as a positive number (and subtracted from Altitude to get distance-from-datum). | The lower limit of the range of the distance relative to surface, in meters.

38 | MaximumDistanceToSurface | AM: there are general standards, e.g. OGC WaterML (but no concrete implementations yet). To follow this type of standard, we would need additional terms to indicate the direction of the positive measurement, if we would like to give people the ability to indicate depth values as positive.
