Task #917
Updated by Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza almost 10 years ago
From Brad: I’ve given some thought to the TPL matter. The algorithm isn’t hard, but Aaron will have to do the sorting himself. 1. -Make Make sure sources are selected in the following order: GCC, TPL, Tropicos, USDA- USDA 2. -Do Do NOT sort by source- source 3. Download all results (not just best matches) 4. Apply the usual TNRS sort order to the matches for a give name. _[we don't need this until after the names are scrubbed (Martha)]_ 5. If the best match (indicated by Selected=TRUE) has source=Tropicos and acceptance=accepted AND another match is available where source<>Tropicos and acceptance=synonym, use the latter name 6. All other cases, use the best match as flagged That should filter out most Tropicos nomenclatural synonyms incorrectly labeled accepted. I can unpack #4 for Aaron when the time arrives. Brad
