What does this mean for the following row:\r\n\r\n        subset(x$data, id=='5400e754-d39c-4814-82ca-2f29b40fb3e2', \r\n               c('id', 'geodeticDatum', 'latitude', 'longitude', \r\n                 'geodeticDatumAssumedWgs84', 'unrecognizedGeodeticDatum'))\r\n\r\n\r\n        #                                       id geodeticDatum latitude longitude geodeticDatumAssumedWgs84 unrecognizedGeodeticDatum\r\n        # 139 5400e754-d39c-4814-82ca-2f29b40fb3e2      113.5681 -25.9764  113.5681                     FALSE                      TRUE\r\n\r\n    If the datum is unrecognised, and it's not assumed to be WGS84, what datum is assumed? In this case `latitudeOriginal` and `longitudeOriginal` match `latitude` and `longitude`, so it seems no transformation has taken place. Note also that the original `occurrences()` query requested `geospatial_kosher` records only - should records such as `5400e754-d39c-4814-82ca-2f29b40fb3e2` be omitted?\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ALA4R/issues/comments/94096253","html_url":"https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ALA4R/issues/7#issuecomment-94096253","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ALA4R/issues/7","id":94096253,"user":{"login":"raymondben","id":6445827,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6445827?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben","html_url":"https://github.com/raymondben","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/raymondben/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-17T23:24:49Z","updated_at":"2015-04-17T23:24:49Z","body":"This relates to the underlying ALA service that delivers the data - ALA4R just wraps that service.
