The description for this field does not assign any probabilities to the three options provided. I suggest these ranges, which I will use as guidelines:
low: P < 30%;
medium: 30%, <= P <= 80% (#);
high: P > 80%.
# Medium confidence implies more than 80% confidence in the taxon immediately above: for example, 30% confidence about the species but 90% confidence about the genus. Otherwise, "low" confidence must be chosen.
This is just a suggestion, of course: an attempt to ensure some consistency in how this field is used by several people.
I assume this applies to the first identification and I will use this field solely for that purpose: as we get more contributions from other users, the identification confidence will hopefully increase.
