en:catalogNumber is an unfortunate name for this term because it suggests a catalog, which suggests a specimen. The definition tries to ameliorate the potential bias by saying that it is a number to identify an occurrence record within a data set or collection. So, it could be a specimen catalog number or it could be a unique identifier for a record within an observation or animal movement data set.
