Task #917
Updated by Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza over 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 sure sources are selected in the following order: GCC, TPL, Tropicos, USDA-
2. -When downloading names, do NOT sort by source _(ie. don't limit results to just the best match when sorted by source)_-
3. -Download all results (not just best matches)-
4. -Apply the usual TNRS sort order to the matches for a give name.- _obtained by sorting by @Overall_score@. note that this is *not* the same as the order the matches are returned in, because Constrain by Source is broken and can't be turned off._
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 _[we don't need this until after the names are scrubbed (Martha)]_
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.
