10/02/2013

05:59 AM Revision 11161: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: locationevent__communities(): need to use commdescription instead of commname as the communityName because that's where communityName has been mapped to in mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv. (commname instead stores the communityID.)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:56 AM Revision 11160: inputs/VegBank/: added observation__community/
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:49 AM Revision 11159: inputs/VegBank/vegbank.~.clean_up.sql: commclass.commcode,commname: rename to prevent collisions
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:26 AM Revision 11158: inputs/VegBank/vegbank.~.clean_up.sql: indicate required column comminterpretation.commname
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:20 AM Revision 11157: inputs/VegBank/vegbank.~.clean_up.sql: commconcept.commname: rename to prevent collision with commname.commname
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:15 AM Revision 11156: planning/timeline/: svn:ignore: added .~* (lock files for .xls)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:58 AM Revision 11155: schemas/vegbien.sql: analytical_stem_view: added instructions for what to do after updating this
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:55 AM Revision 11154: schemas/vegbien.sql: analytical_stem_view, analytical_plot: added communities using new locationevent__communities__array()
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:52 AM Revision 11153: schemas/vegbien.sql: added locationevent__communities*()
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:10 AM Revision 11152: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: locationevent: locationevent__pull_forward_from_parent() trigger: only pull forward the location_id when there is a stratum_id, so that empty locationevents that should be auto-forwarded are not unintentionally made valid by populating the location_id field (which causes a check constraint to become satisfied, and prevents auto-forwarding from working). this fixes a bug in some datasources' automated tests, such as `make inputs/SALVIAS/plotObservations/test`.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:45 AM Revision 11151: lib/sql_io.py: put_table(): default param: documented that this will be used for *all* missing rows, regardless of which error caused them not to be inserted. this means that auto-forwarding (wiki.vegpath.org/Auto-forwarding) can be used with *any* type of constraint violation, not just NOT NULL constraints (which it is typically used with).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

10/01/2013

10:57 PM Revision 11150: /Makefile: mk_db: config/users.sql: unset ON_ERROR_STOP so user-exists errors don't prevent further user-adds
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/30/2013

07:47 AM Revision 11149: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: updated for progress
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:38 AM Revision 11148: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: analytical_stem_view: plot__collectors: to include plot__collectors for nested stratum events, need to calculate the locationevent__contributors__array() for the locationevent and parent_event *separately*, and then COALESCE those, instead of just running locationevent__contributors__array() once on the COALESCE of the two IDs
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:34 AM Revision 11147: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: locationevent: added pull-forward trigger to populate location_id from the parent event. a pull-forward trigger *must* be used for this (not a COALESCE() in analytical_stem_view) because the locationevent cannot even be found by analytical_stem_view if it does not have an associated location.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:37 AM Revision 11146: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: added required url field, which points to the source data and uniquely identifies the source. note that this differs from the id, which is a *self*-refential pkey (as described at wiki.vegpath.org/Web_interface#Clickable-fkeys).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:47 AM Revision 11145: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: fixed lines
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:38 AM Revision 11144: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:32 AM Revision 11143: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: removed canon, because this would create too much complexity as a result of having multiple copies of the same source with different names. instead, source names will be scrubbed *upon insert* so that the row always contains the most accurate data, and there is only one copy of each source. this scrubbing may use the assistance of a thesaurus table w/ standard abbreviations, etc.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:07 AM Revision 11142: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: plot.name: merged with inherited name field
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:43 AM Revision 11141: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:40 AM Revision 11140: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: added canon field. when there are multiple names for a source, this points to the canonically-named source. by default, points recursively to itself.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:04 AM Revision 11139: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation.taxon_occurrence: documented that when not provided (and not fillable from another field), a taxon_occurrence will be created with the same id as the taxon_observation. this operation should eventually be perfomed by a trigger.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:58 AM Revision 11138: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: geovalidatable_place.parent_geoplace: renamed to parent so it will merge with the inherited parent field. this is the parent geoplace.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:27 AM Revision 11137: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:20 AM Revision 11136: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: fixed lines
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:18 AM Revision 11135: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: individual_observation.specimenholder_institutions: documented that instead, the taxon_occurrence for the individual_observation should have an autogenerated current_observation that merges together all the individual_observations for these institutions' specimens. in this case, each institution's specimen will still have its *own* individual_observation containing what *it* believes to be the specimenholder institutions.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:03 AM Revision 11134: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: individual_observation.specimenholder_institutions: documented that when provided, the source (i.e. traceable.source) should be set to the value of this field, because these institutions together provided the data for this entity
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:59 AM Revision 11133: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: party_list: inherit from source so that a party_list can be used as the source for a row (e.g. a list of institutions that together provided the data for an individual_observation that has specimens at multiple institutions)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:55 AM Revision 11132: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: reobservable_presence: merged into taxon_determination, so that voucher is directly available to taxon_determination to autopopulate fields when a redetermination is made on the voucher
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:37 AM Revision 11131: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: fixed lines
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:36 AM Revision 11130: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: aggregate_observation.sampling_event: merged with inherited sampling_event field
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:33 AM Revision 11129: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation.parent: require that this is an fkey to another taxon_observation, since this stores the *taxon_observation* of the same taxon_occurrence in the parent sampling_event
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:22 AM Revision 11128: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: subplot.parent_plot: renamed to parent so it will merge with the inherited parent field. this is the parent plot.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:16 AM Revision 11127: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: individual_count.taxon_presence: renamed to parent so it will merge with the inherited parent field. this is the taxon_presence for the taxon as a whole (not subdivided by size_class, etc.).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:13 AM Revision 11126: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxa_sampling_event.method: renamed to subsetting_method for clarity
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:06 AM Revision 11125: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: stratum_event.parent_event: renamed to parent so it will merge with the inherited parent field
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:58 AM Revision 11124: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: traceable: added alternate pkey id_by_source, which allows referencing a traceable by its source information even when the subclass chose a different value for the pkey
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:49 AM Revision 11123: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation.observation_in_parent_place: merged with inherited parent field, documenting that for this table, this contains the observation of the same taxon_occurrence in the parent sampling_event
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:33 AM Revision 11122: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: fixed lines
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:24 AM Revision 11121: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: individual_observation.place_observed_at: merged with inherited place field, documenting that for this table, this contains the place the individual was observed at
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:16 AM Revision 11120: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: event: reordered date_range, participants, place in the order of how likely they are to be provided. (place was considered more optional than the other two because a project does not usually have a place.)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:09 AM Revision 11119: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation.sampling_event: made it required so that there is always a sampling_event to scope the primary_collector/collector_number when provided. (for specimens, this will have the same event information (date_range, participants, place) as the taxon_observation.)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:35 AM Revision 11118: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation: added unique constraint on sampling_event, primary_collector, collector_number. reordered these columns in constraint order (path order).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/29/2013

11:35 PM Revision 11117: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation: added primary_collector, to scope the collector_number. collectors: renamed to all_collectors for clarity, now that there is a primary_collector field.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:14 PM Revision 11116: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen.current_collection, owner_collection: moved to specimen_observation because these may differ each time the specimen is reobserved
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:08 PM Revision 11115: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen.code_in_individual: renamed to id_within_individual to match the id_within_* naming convention using elsewhere
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:58 PM Revision 11114: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: individual_observation: removed code because this duplicates taxon_observation.collector_number and record.id_within_dataset
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:53 PM Revision 11113: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen.specimenholder_institutions: moved to individual_observation because the list of institutions which store a specimen from the plant actually relates to the plant, not a particular specimen (this list should be the same for all specimens taken from the plant)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:34 PM Revision 11112: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen: removed collection_event because this is the same as individual_observation
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:11 PM Revision 11111: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen: removed separate fkey to individual because this is linked to from individual_observation
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:55 PM Revision 11110: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: place_observation: link to project. taxa_sampling_event: removed link to project since this now happens via place_observation.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:35 PM Revision 11109: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxa_sampling_event: merged required within_place into place_observation, which already contains a required fkey to place
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:29 PM Revision 11108: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxa_sampling_event: added place_observation fkey for the concurrent place_observation, which contains all the info about the place (communities, soil data, etc.). this allows a taxon_observation to be traced to its associated location measurements.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:58 PM Revision 11107: bugfix: mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: nest all taxonoccurrences inside a stratum event, so that the parent locationevent is *always* fully populated before child locationevents point to it. (previously, a stub parent event was created when the child event was imported first, which blocked the fully-populated parent event from being inserted later on.) this uses auto-folding (for VegBank/CVS) and auto-forwarding (for other datasources) to prune empty stratum events for taxonoccurrences that don't have strata. (see wiki.vegpath.org/Auto-folding, wiki.vegpath.org/Auto-forwarding for more info about these normalization techniques.) note that the inserted row counts stay *exactly the same* for all datasources except VegBank (which was being fixed), indicating that this signficant change to the mappings did *not* change the semantics of the import of taxonoccurrences.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:37 PM Revision 11106: inputs/VegBank/observationcontributor_/test.xml.ref: updated inserted row count
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/28/2013

10:40 PM Revision 11105: bugfix: mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: stratum's locationevent: link this to the parent locationevent, so that the parent locationevent's information (such as locationeventcontributors) is accessible to the stratum's locationevent
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:08 PM Revision 11104: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/taxon_observation.**/postprocess.sql: inlined _join() so that taxon_observation.** wouldn't get cascadingly deleted whenever the util schema (where this normally resides) gets reinstalled
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:23 PM Revision 11103: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: locationeventcontributor: added missing unique constraint (locationeventcontributor_unique)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:21 PM Revision 11102: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: locationeventcontributor.role: made it optional because some locationeventcontributors may not have an associated role
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:45 PM Revision 11101: schemas/vegbien.sql: analytical_stem_view, analytical_plot: added plot__collectors, which uses locationevent__contributors__array()
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:42 PM Revision 11100: schemas/vegbien.sql: locationevent__contributors(): split into set-returning and array-returning functions. sort results by fullname so there is a predictable ordering (VegBank does not include a sort_order in the observationContributor table).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:56 PM Revision 11099: schemas/vegbien.sql: added locationevent__contributors() aggregating function for use in analytical_stem_view
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:53 AM Revision 11098: added inputs/VegBank/observationcontributor_/
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:51 AM Revision 11097: mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: mapped event__participant
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:51 AM Revision 11096: mappings/VegCore.htm: regenerated from wiki. added EventParticipant table containing event__participant.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:04 AM Revision 11095: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/: taxonOccurrenceID: include the aggregateOrganismObservationID in this so that there is one taxonoccurrence for *each* stratum's taxonImportance. this allows the different strata to have separate taxonoccurrences that are associated with the stratum-specific locationevents, rather than all being lumped into one taxonoccurrence, with only one locationevent.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:06 AM Revision 11094: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation.observation_in_parent_place: renamed to observation_in_parent_event because the taxon_observation might be connected to a stratum_event which is nested within another sampling_event before it's connected to any sampling_event for a parent plot. this is the case for VegBank data with associated strata.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/27/2013

11:14 PM Revision 11093: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: locationevent: locationevent_unique_within_creator unique index on sourceaccessioncode: need to add stratum_id, because the addition of stratum_id to *this* table instead of a separate stratum_event table (which would have required more schema changes) means we need to use the awkward construction of appending stratum_id to *every* unique constraint, including ones that ordinarily would just pass through the datasource's pkey
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:31 PM Revision 11092: web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added Java client- and server-side links. web: split into client- and server-side folders.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:29 PM Revision 11091: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: updated for progress
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:43 PM Revision 11090: /README.TXT: Datasource setup: added link to Example steps for a datasource (wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:23 PM Revision 11089: /README.TXT: Full database import: To remake analytical DB: added runtime (13 h)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/26/2013

10:15 AM Revision 11088: bugfix: schemas/postgresql.Mac.conf: allow external client logins like for vegbiendev, by listening on all addresses rather than just localhost
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/24/2013

05:53 PM Revision 11087: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: updated for progress
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:40 PM Revision 11086: schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb: fixed lines
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:54 PM Revision 11085: schemas/vegbien.sql: analytical_plot: added stratum__name
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:48 PM Revision 11084: schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb: updated to PostgreSQL schema
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:47 PM Revision 11083: schemas/vegbien.sql: analytical_stem_view: added stratum table (stratum__name)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:14 PM Revision 11082: mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: mapped stratum__name
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:09 PM Revision 11081: schemas/vegbien.sql: added source_id to allow different datasources to have their own strata
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:03 PM Revision 11080: schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb: updated to PostgreSQL schema
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:51 PM Revision 11079: schemas/vegbien.sql: stratum: added unique constraint on source_id/stratumname, and require stratumname, so that strata are identified by name within their datasource
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:45 PM Revision 11078: schemas/vegbien.sql: added source_id to allow different datasources to have their own strata
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:22 PM Revision 11077: schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:18 PM Revision 11076: schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb: updated to PostgreSQL schema
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:15 PM Revision 11075: schemas/vegbien.sql: locationevent: added stratum_id to unique constraints, so that there can be multiple locationevents for the same underlying event but with different strata
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:01 PM Revision 11074: schemas/vegbien.sql: link locationevent to stratum instead of the other way around (similar to how it's represented in normalized VegCore as stratum_event->stratum, rather than stratum->taxa_sampling_event). this works around column-based import's lack of support for linking two tables together via two separate routes (in this case locationevent->taxonoccurrence->stratum and locationevent->stratum).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:54 PM Revision 11073: web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. added PostgreSQL links.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:09 PM Revision 11072: schemas/vegbien.sql: stratum: added stratumname
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/22/2013

08:25 PM Revision 11071: mappings/VegCore.htm: regenerated from wiki. added Stratum table.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:57 PM Revision 11070: schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb: updated to PostgreSQL schema
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:25 PM Revision 11069: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: model options: template for new fkey names: use the PostgreSQL naming convention so that new fkeys will sync properly with equivalent fkeys in the Postgres schema that have had their names reset
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:18 PM Revision 11068: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:13 PM Revision 11067: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: made name optional because some sources (e.g. records) don't have a name, and are instead identified differently. instead require name in applicable subclasses. source subclasses: added unique constraints on parent/name since the name is presumed to be identifying within the parent entity.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:55 PM Revision 11066: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: party: added separate person subclass, which has the organization pointer. organization instead has a recursive parent pointer, to avoid mutual recursion between party and organization.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:00 AM Revision 11065: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: dataset.parent: updated comment to refer to data_source, not traceable.source (which is now used for a different purpose)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:56 AM Revision 11064: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:49 AM Revision 11063: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: fixed lines
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:46 AM Revision 11062: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: removed unnecessary hstore extenders that duplicate an extender of the same name in a superclass
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:25 AM Revision 11061: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: dataset: replaced metadata_source with data_source, since the source field inherited from traceable is actually for where the information in the dataset record itself came from
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:57 AM Revision 11060: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: dataset.parent: documented that this provides a containment relationship, which differs from the attribution relationship provided by source (inherited from traceable). e.g. the GBIF.ARIZ dataset is contained within the GBIF dataset (the parent), but was obtained from ARIZ (the source).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:37 AM Revision 11059: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: moved parent pointer to dataset, since the containment relationship is intended for datasets (there may be other types of sources for which this makes sense, but not ones that are used in our data)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:07 AM Revision 11058: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: traceable.table_fragment: renamed to id_within_source, since this can also identify e.g. a dataset within the source that it came from
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:47 AM Revision 11057: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: dataset: added metadata_source, which stores where the information *about* the dataset came from (as opposed to where the dataset came from)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:31 AM Revision 11056: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: party: inherit from source because a person (or organization) can directly be a source of data. it should not be necessary to link them to a dataset in order to attribute rows to them.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:25 AM Revision 11055: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: traceable.table_fragment: made this optional, since some traceables may have a source but are not *uniquely identifiable* within that source. the ID would in this case need to be populated by a subclass table, since traceable can't generate a unique ID without the fragment.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:33 AM Revision 11054: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: record: clarified that "an actual data record" means "a row in a table". dataset: made definition more specific ("a collection of records from the same place, with the same attribution requirements").
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:08 AM Revision 11053: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: record: added definition (a collection of data relating to the same entity). note that this doesn't have to be an actual data record, it can also be a paragraph of text relating to the same thing (e.g. a method description in a PDF).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:52 AM Revision 11052: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: method: added optional name field
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:49 AM Revision 11051: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: stratum: added definition (a non-horizontal way of subdividing a plot)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:32 AM Revision 11050: schemas/VegCore/ERD/: svn:ignore *.bak
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:14 AM Revision 11049: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: stratum, stratum_event: added VegX synonyms
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:00 AM Revision 11048: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: synonyms with other exchange schemas: put the exchange schema name first, so that the first word in the URL is the source of that synonym (which is most important), while the schema-specific synonym name (which is less important) comes after it. this matches the VegCore data dictionary convention where the text of the URL (i.e. the most important part) is the exchange schema name.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:53 AM Revision 11047: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: synonyms with other exchange schemas: put the exchange schema name first, so that the first word in the URL is the source of that synonym (which is most important), while the schema-specific synonym name (which is less important) comes after it. this matches the VegCore data dictionary convention where the text of the URL (i.e. the most important part) is the exchange schema name.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:09 AM Revision 11046: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.mwb: individual_count.taxon: renamed to taxon_presence to clarify that this is an fkey to taxon_presence
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/21/2013

11:01 PM Revision 11045: schemas/VegCore/: moved ERD-related files to ERD/ subdir
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:58 PM Revision 11044: added schemas/VegCore/ERD/SQL symlink to the dir with the VegCore SQL schemas
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

10:27 PM Revision 11040: bugfix: schemas/VegCore/ERD/.htaccess: mod_autoindex: clear the IndexHeadInsert message "some listed files are not web-accessible" so that it is not displayed above the ERD image, which looks strange because the files are below it (this message can be removed for this dir because all files in it are web-accessible)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:17 PM Revision 11039: web/.htaccess: mod_autoindex: IndexHeadInsert: use IndexStyleSheet for stylesheet link instead
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:12 PM Revision 11038: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.png.map.htm: VegCore logo: hyperlink this to VegCore.vegpath.org as well, instead of to the data dictionary
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:10 PM Revision 11037: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:00 PM Revision 11036: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: moved VegCore.vegpath.org link next to logo so it can be found more easily
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:45 PM Revision 11035: schemas/VegCore/ERD/.htaccess: display the index page (containing the ERD) as part of the mod_autoindex directory listing, so that the directory listing is included when you go to the VegCore.vegpath.org/ERD/ URL. this will allow the ERD-related files to be moved to the ERD/ subdir, and still be visible in the directory listing.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:42 PM Revision 11034: bugfix: web/.htaccess: mod_autoindex: IndexOptions: use +HTMLTable to ensure that the contents are always displayed in an HTML table, even when a header file is provided with HeaderName (which turns off the default HTML table for some reason)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:01 PM Revision 11033: lib/sql_io.py: put_table(): added link to new INSERT ON DUPLICATE SELECT wiki page, which now contains the explanation in the doc comment
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:29 PM Revision 11032: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: ERD link: changed to VegCore.vegpath.org so that the user can access *all* additional files for VegCore, not just the PDF version of the ERD
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:24 PM Revision 11031: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source.name: require this field (for records, populate it from id_within_dataset)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:01 PM Revision 11030: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: record.dataset_record_id: renamed to id_within_dataset for clarity
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:59 PM Revision 11029: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: traceable: added table_fragment field, which is the portion of the source record that this traceable refers to. (denormalized source data often contains data for many VegCore tables in the same row, and the traceables for each of these table entries must be distinguished *from each other* since they share the same source. this is usually just the VegCore table name, sometimes with a distinguishing prefix (e.g. collector.party/identified_by.party; current_observation.taxon_determination/orig_observation.taxon_determination).) this field is needed *in addition to the source record* to form a unique ID for the traceable.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:24 PM Revision 11028: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:22 PM Revision 11027: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: dataset: inherit from traceable because the information *about* the dataset (data_owners, contacts, etc.) might have been obtained from an external source, such as IH, a web page, or even an e-mail conversation
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:47 PM Revision 11026: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:45 PM Revision 11025: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation: draw inheritance connector to event to clarify what table this inherits from. reobservable.original_observation: renamed to orig_observation to match the naming convention of specimen.orig_collection. table relationships legend: updated "inherits from record" label to refer to the traceable table, which now serves this purpose.

06:49 PM Revision 11024: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/import_order.txt: added stratum
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:48 PM Revision 11023: inputs/VegBank/taxon_observation.**/postprocess.sql: added stratum, stratumtype to the left-join
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:46 PM Revision 11022: inputs/VegBank/stemcount_/map.csv: stratum_id: removed table prefix so it can be used as a join column
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:45 PM Revision 11021: inputs/VegBank/: mapped stratum
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:39 PM Revision 11020: inputs/VegBank/: mapped stratumtype
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:27 PM Revision 11019: /README.TXT: Datasource setup: additional steps for new-style datasources: added steps not present in http://wiki.vegpath.org/Adding_new-style_import_to_a_datasource because they were performed all at once for all datasources
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:24 PM Revision 11018: /README.TXT: Datasource setup: added additional steps for new-style datasources, from http://wiki.vegpath.org/Adding_new-style_import_to_a_datasource
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:18 PM Revision 11017: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: taxondetermination_set_iscurrent(): is_datasource_current: accept any determinationtype other than the TNRS ones (accepted, matched), so that datasources that provide a custom value for this field (such as VegBank) don't have their taxondeterminations incorrectly treated as non-datasource. this fixes the VegBank bug where datasource taxondeterminations were not being joined on in analytical_stem_view, because the join included a filter for only datasource taxondeterminations, but these taxondeterminations were not being properly treated as such. **this should fix the missing taxonomic information in the VegBank validation extract.**
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:31 AM Revision 11016: inputs/VegBank/taxonobservation_/map.csv: taxonomic ranks not in VegCore: removed table prefix so they will be automapped (they are globally unique)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:33 AM Revision 11015: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: updated for progress
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:31 AM Revision 11014: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: updated as decided in the conference call
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:55 AM Revision 11013: inputs//: don't import joined tables, because they are now imported in the taxon_observation.** left-join instead
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:22 AM Revision 11012: inputs/VegBank/taxon_observation.**/postprocess.sql: run mk_subset_by_row_num_func() to add a subset function that uses sort_col. this is used by column-based import, and also provides a common subsetting/sorting API for all the left-joined views. test.xml.ref: the inserted row count most likely changes because the sort order changes.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:05 AM Revision 11011: schemas/util.sql: added mk_subset_by_row_num_func(regclass), which uses a sort_col instead of a row_num column
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:10 AM Revision 11010: schemas/util.sql: mk_subset_by_row_num_func(): factored creation of no-sort subset function into mk_subset_by_row_num_no_sort_func() so it can be used by other functions
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/18/2013

11:53 PM Revision 11009: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/stemlocation_/map.csv: remapped stemcount-related fields to OMIT, so that these don't collide with fields of the same name in stemcount_ when they are left-joined together in taxon_observation.** . having the same name causes these to be incorrectly interpreted as shared fkey columns in the NATURAL JOIN (and without the NATURAL JOIN, they would instead be collision errors).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:35 PM Revision 11008: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/stemlocation_/postprocess.sql: added missing index on aggregateOrganismObservationID, needed for the 1:many portion of the taxon_observation.** left-join
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:28 PM Revision 11007: inputs/VegBank/stemcount_/postprocess.sql: moved stemcount___parent index before the derived columns section because it does not depend on them
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:26 PM Revision 11006: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/stemcount_/postprocess.sql: added missing index on taxonOccurrenceID, needed for the 1:many portion of the taxon_observation.** left-join
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:14 PM Revision 11005: schemas/util.sql: added ||% operator to append to escaped strings (the % indicates an identifier, as in Perl hashes and one of the x86 assembler syntaxes for registers
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:50 PM Revision 11004: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/taxon_observation.**/postprocess.sql: added sort_col (=identificationID) at beginning because column-based import will always sort a view by the first column, which may lead to slow query plans if the first column is not a joined table's pkey
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:04 PM Revision 11003: inputs/VegBank/taxon_observation.**/postprocess.sql: documented that there is no row_num because left-join to stemcount_, stemlocation_ adds rows to each taxonobservation_
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:03 PM Revision 11002: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/taxon_observation.**/postprocess.sql: removed row_num (=identificationID), because there is actually more than one row per VegBank taxonobservation_, so this does not properly enumerate the view rows. this is because there is a 1:many left-join to stemcount_, stemlocation_ which adds rows to each taxonobservation_. since the row_num is gone, any row-subsetting of the view using OFFSET will always need to materialize the entire view up to the OFFSET value. this works for smaller datasources like VegBank that fit almost entirely into one column-based import chunk (1 million rows), but not for larger datasources like FIA where it would be much slower to materialize all preceding 16 million rows on the last chunk (which is what OFFSET normally does with left-joins).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:51 PM Revision 11001: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/taxon_observation.**/: generated header.csv and related files, which were previously not generated because the error in `rm header.csv` aborted the runscript
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/17/2013

10:05 PM Revision 11000: bugfix: lib/runscripts/*: calls to rm: use `rm -f` instead to avoid an error (which aborts the program) if the file does not yet exist
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/16/2013

07:51 AM Revision 10999: inputs/VegBank/: added taxon_observation.** left-join of the tables, using the steps at http://wiki.vegpath.org/Left-joining_a_datasource
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:48 AM Revision 10998: inputs/VegBank/taxonobservation_/create.sql: join starting with taxoninterpretation so that we can use the taxoninterpretation_id as the row_num (text strings, formed from concatenated #s cannot be used as a row_num). there is only 1 taxonobservation without a taxoninterpretation, so we can just include one row for each taxoninterpretation.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:32 AM Revision 10997: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/taxonobservation_/test.xml.ref: updated after reloading staging table. this fixed a bug where observationGranularity apparently either did not exist or was not the right type of constant column to be properly inlined the last time the tester was run. the inlining is important for using metadata switches to generate the correct XML import script.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:13 AM Revision 10996: bugfix: lib/sh/make.sh: don't allow rm to override remake if an invoked script uses this file. this fixes a bug in `rm=1 inputs/.../.../run` where the remake action would be invoked on the map_table command even though it had been suppressed, because it was run externally (i.e. make.sh was reloaded) and the rm=1 flag was still active
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/15/2013

10:50 PM Revision 10995: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.png.map.htm: reordered in dependency order: moved traceable before party because party is a subclass of it
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
10:02 PM Revision 10994: bugfix: inputs/input.Makefile: `%/install: %/create.sql`: don't include %/header.csv as a target, so that it won't get deleted if the install fails (especially on a step that happens *after* the header is exported)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:07 PM Revision 10993: inputs/VegBank/taxonobservation_/postprocess.sql: added primary key. note that the inserted row count changes, most likely because the rows are now in sorted order.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:54 PM Revision 10992: inputs/VegBank/stemcount_/postprocess.sql: added primary key. note that the inserted row count changes, most likely because the rows are now in sorted order.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:27 PM Revision 10991: bugfix: schemas/util.sql: mk_subset_by_row_num_func(): need explicit ORDER BY on the row_num_col, to prevent PostgreSQL from sorting the rows in reverse (they will be sorted because of the index scan, but the direction is otherwise indeterminate)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:20 PM Revision 10990: schemas/util.sql: mk_subset_by_row_num_func(): support tables whose pkeys don't start with 1 (such as the VegBank tables), by calculating the smallest row_num from the table
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:03 PM Revision 10989: schemas/util.sql: offset2row_num(), limit2row_num(): added optional min_row_num, for tables whose serial pkeys start from a value other than 1
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:36 PM Revision 10988: schemas/util.sql: added qual_name(regclass)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:36 AM Revision 10987: schemas/util.sql: added esc_name__append()
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:09 AM Revision 10986: schemas/util.sql: added col__min()
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:34 AM Revision 10985: schemas/util.sql: added limit2row_num() and use it in mk_subset_by_row_num_func() for clarity
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:26 AM Revision 10984: schemas/util.sql: added offset2row_num() and use it in mk_subset_by_row_num_func() for clarity
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:25 AM Revision 10983: bugfix: schemas/Makefile: `%/install: vegbien.sql`: when replacing public with the specified schema name, only perform the replacement if the schema is named something other than public. this prevents text like "public schema" inside comments from being "-escaped.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:50 AM Revision 10982: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: updated for progress
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
06:25 AM Revision 10981: bugfix: /README.TXT: to backup files not in Time Machine: need to use -E option to sudo to preserve env, after installing the latest system update
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:47 AM Revision 10980: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.png.map.htm: reordered in dependency order
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:40 AM Revision 10979: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:17 AM Revision 10978: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: party: added required name field
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:12 AM Revision 10977: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: fixed table positions
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:09 AM Revision 10976: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: event: added event_unique_within_parent, event_unique_within_place unique indexes
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:57 AM Revision 10975: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: split into source and dataset tables, since many of the source fields (first_publisher, data_owners, contacts) were only applicable to datasets. note that a dataset is specifically something *requiring attribution*, while a source just indicates where something came from. non-dataset sources are useful e.g. as the taxon_concept.according_to.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:48 AM Revision 10974: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source.owners: renamed to data_owners for clarity. documented that this is the parties who must be given attribution, such as copyrightholders.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:39 AM Revision 10973: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: allow multiple contacts
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:34 AM Revision 10972: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: added contact (different from owners)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:23 AM Revision 10971: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: model options: templates for new column names, etc.: configured to our conventions (pkey is "id"; columns are unique within the table rather than being prefixed with the table name)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:08 AM Revision 10970: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: source: allow multiple data owners
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:04 AM Revision 10969: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: documented that record is the record in the *source* data, and traceable is a row that can have associated source information
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:03 AM Revision 10968: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: removed relationship table, because this is too general, and custom relationships between entities are better indicated in the applicable hstore extender field for the table in question. record: split into record and traceable tables, where record is instead the record in the *source* data, and traceable indicates that a row has associated source information.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:36 AM Revision 10967: bugfix: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: party_list_entry: use just a single id field as the primary key, because the pkey must be a single text string in order to uniquely identify the row by a global ID
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:25 AM Revision 10966: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: party_list_entry: added role field
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:01 AM Revision 10965: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:53 AM Revision 10964: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxa_sampling_event: link directly to project, so that you don't have to search the parent event hierarchy to find the associated project
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:50 AM Revision 10963: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: fixed table positions
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:48 AM Revision 10962: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: spaced tables out more
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:36 AM Revision 10961: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_occurrence: require all taxon_occurrences to have an associated within_place (which may be set to Earth if the coordinates/placename is unknown)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:30 AM Revision 10960: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: moved the plot table next the the section label for the plots half of the page
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:19 AM Revision 10959: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_observation: allow any taxon_observation to link directly to a taxa_sampling_event, not just aggregate_observation. this allows any taxon_observation's methodology information to be found directly by joining to taxa_sampling_event. previously, one had to join to event.parent and then taxa_sampling_event, and it was not clear that event.parent would even *be* a taxa_sampling_event.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:07 AM Revision 10958: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: aggregate_observation: link to rather than being a taxa_sampling_event, because taxa_sampling_event was actually intended to be the container event in which various types of taxon_observations occur, rather than a type of taxon_observation itself. rearranged tables to avoid them covering any lines.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/14/2013

11:53 PM Revision 10957: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: renamed GNRS & geovalidation steps to just geoscrubbing steps for clarity
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:48 PM Revision 10956: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: taxon_occurrence: added within_place to allow easily locating all the taxon_occurrences in a plot. (some taxon_occurrences require within_place, but there was no common superclass field to allow joining to just a single table.)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:24 PM Revision 10955: schemas/VegCore/ERD/VegCore.ERD.png.map.htm: moved reobservable tables (individual, specimen, etc.) before aggregate_observation tables because these are less abstract
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:21 PM Revision 10954: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:15 PM Revision 10953: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: individual_count: inherit from taxon_presence because this is also a type of taxon_observation (and specifically, a taxon_presence), in addition to the general taxon_presence it's associated with. it is possible e.g. for different diameter classes to be counted by different collectors, and thus to need separate taxon_observations to store the different collectors.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:07 PM Revision 10952: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: added taxon_occurrence to store the underlying occurrence for each taxon_observation. we cannot use reobservable for this because not all taxon_observations are reobservable, but the one-time observations still have an associated occurrence. moved reobservable.current_determination to taxon_occurrence and renamed it to current_observation (this can be used to find the latest observation for each occurrence).
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:47 PM Revision 10951: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: added spacing between later column and weeks to make clear that dots in the later column do not correspond to a week
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:26 PM Revision 10950: inputs/FIA/occurrence_all/: renamed to taxon_observation.** to clarify what an occurrence is. taxon_observation has the same meaning as in VegCore, where *each taxon_determination is considered a separate taxon_observation* of the associated specimen or vouchered plant (vegpath.org/VegCore/ERD/). (note that having multiple taxon_determinations only makes sense when there is something to reobserve.) the .** is SQL dotpath syntax (wiki.vegpath.org/SQL_dotpaths) for the recursive expansion of all tables to which taxon_observation has forward fkeys (i.e. "the left-join").
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
09:01 PM Revision 10949: inputs/FIA/occurrence_all/postprocess.sql: use :table_str var instead of hardcoding the table name as occurrence_all, to avoid needing to change this file when renaming the view
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:38 PM Revision 10948: inputs/FIA/occurrence_all/postprocess.sql: renamed occurrence_all--row_num to just row_num because this is for the entire view, rather than a specific table in it, and thus does not need a disambiguating table prefix. this also avoids embedding the view name in its own columns.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:34 PM Revision 10947: inputs/FIA/*/map.csv: use -- to separate the table and column name instead of - , to conform with the u-name format (wiki.vegpath.org/u-name#format), which works even when only one of _- can be used in the name. -s are needed in this case to linewrap the column on a separate line as the table in phpPgAdmin.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:20 PM Revision 10946: lib/runscripts/datasrc_dir.run: added postprocess target to run postprocess in just the table subdirs, skipping any additional subdirs that don't have this target
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:19 PM Revision 10945: lib/runscripts/datasrc_dir.run: @subdirs: moved import_order.txt subdirs into separate @table_subdirs, which provides access to just the table subdirs when the user adds other dirs to @subdirs
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

05:26 PM Revision 10939: bugfix: inputs/VegBank/plot_/postprocess.sql: coordinateUncertaintyInMeters: need to use GREATEST() instead of _alt() to handle cases where the coordinate uncertainty is > than the fuzzing uncertainty, where you wouldn't want to just use the smaller fuzzing uncertainty
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:20 PM Revision 10938: inputs/VegBank/plot_/: translated multi-column filters to postprocessing derived columns, using the steps at http://wiki.vegpath.org/Adding_new-style_import_to_a_datasource#Translating-filters-to-postprocessing-derived-columns

Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:37 PM Revision 10930: inputs/FIA/occurrence_all/postprocess.sql: use much simpler LEFT JOINs instead of nested RIGHT JOINs, which required lots of () to get them to happen in the right order. note that the columns are now provided in reverse instead of forwards path order, but this is still much clearer than the nested mess of RIGHT JOINs. this approach can also be used to simplify VegBank's joins.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:34 PM Revision 10929: bugfix: lib/runscripts/view.run: remake_VegBIEN_mappings(): also need to remake header.csv, not just map.csv as for tables, because view columns may change when the view is regenerated
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:42 PM Revision 10928: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen: changed definition to "something collected from a plant" rather than just "a physical part of a plant", to support using this table for identifying pictures and descriptions of a plant (as DwC does)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:28 PM Revision 10927: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:24 PM Revision 10926: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: reobservable_presence: allow it to be vouchered by any reobservable element (including a tagged individual), not just a specimen
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:01 PM Revision 10925: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen.defining_data: clarified that the observations in this are actually a subset of individual_observation.traits (specifically, the subset that can be used to make a taxonomic redetermination). information in this field should therefore always also be stored in individual_observation.traits.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:54 PM Revision 10924: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen: added specimen_unique_in_individual_observation unique constraint, analogous to specimen_unique_in_individual
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:34 PM Revision 10923: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: regenerated exports and udpated image map
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:29 PM Revision 10922: schemas/VegCore/VegCore.ERD.mwb: specimen: added defining_data, which for a digital-only specimen, stores the information that comprises the specimen. note that a taxon_presence without a physical voucher can still qualify as reobservable if a detailed description of it is provided in this field, to make taxonomic redeterminations on. for datasources like VegBank, which incorrectly allow multiple taxon_determinations for *any* type of taxon_observation, their taxonomic redeterminations would actually be considered invalid if made on a purely taxon_presence observation (i.e. just a taxon name) without a detailed description that could be used to make a redetermination. this is different than the scrubbing of a taxon name, which relates a taxon name to another taxon name, rather than a taxon_observation to a completely different taxon name.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:35 PM Revision 10921: bugfix: lib/sh/util.sh: set_fds(): don't add surrounding quotes to empty redirect dest
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:31 PM Revision 10920: bugfix: lib/sh/util.sh: set_fds(): need to check if redirect is empty *before* escaping it with `printf %q`, which may add surrounding quotes to an empty string
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:40 AM Revision 10919: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: attribution and conditions of use: documented that Brad/Brian/Bob should work on this, as decided in the conference call (wiki.vegpath.org/2013-09-12_conference_call#data-provider-metadata)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:47 AM Revision 10918: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: reformatted to fit all rows and all per-week columns on one page
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:30 AM Revision 10917: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: streamline process of mapping and adding a new datasource: added subtask to create interactive scripts for each import step
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:15 AM Revision 10916: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: improve and complete data provider metadata: moved to end because this can also been added manually to the source table, and does not have to be in place before running column-based import
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:09 AM Revision 10915: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: flatten the datasources to a common schema: added subtask to left-join unvalidated datasources since they need the flattening in order to validate them properly
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:21 AM Revision 10914: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: rebalanced dots
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:15 AM Revision 10913: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved items marked later to separate section at bottom
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:13 AM Revision 10912: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved revisions to schema under datasource validations because schema changes are largely driven by validations problems uncovered
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:12 AM Revision 10911: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: split tasks into weeks
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:47 AM Revision 10910: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: updated for progress
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:35 AM Revision 10909: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: split months into (currently identical) weeks
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:19 AM Revision 10908: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: added During month of label above months
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:09 AM Revision 10907: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: switched to portrait mode to better fit the new format, which hides columns for past months
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:05 AM Revision 10906: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: hid crossed out rows to show just the remaining tasks
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:03 AM Revision 10905: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: crossed out avoid DB restructuring when ingesting a new datasource, because FIA (which is flattened before import) *does* properly support optional subplots and diamond linking of subplots to parent plot events, which were necessary to ingest an arbitrary flattened plots datasource
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:55 AM Revision 10904: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: crossed out fully-completed tasks. rebalanced dots.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:46 AM Revision 10903: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved switching to new-style import to top of streamline process of mapping and adding a new datasource because this puts all the datasource adding steps (except filling in the mappings) into one rerunnable script
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:36 AM Revision 10902: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: hid columns for past months so that the current and future months are right next to each task
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:31 AM Revision 10901: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved streamline process of mapping and adding a new datasource before documentation testing because this will assist the documentation tester in running the import process
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:26 AM Revision 10900: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved geoscrubbing re-run under add any missing columns because this is needed to fully populate the geoscrubbing columns
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:20 AM Revision 10899: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: added documentation testing, usability testing priority tasks (wiki.vegpath.org/Priority_tasks). lowercased tasks for consistency with the wiki and to avoid needing to sentence case new subtasks.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:53 AM Revision 10898: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: moved Flatten the datasources to a common schema under Datasource validations because the query left-joining the tables is needed for validation, and it is much easier to validate datasources when there is only one input table to validate
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/11/2013

02:52 PM Revision 10897: added derived/biengeo/Geovalidation_and_geoscrubbing_update.presentation.url

Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:04 PM Revision 10894: web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks. MySQL: added steps to add a user if you are not root but have sudo access.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/07/2013

08:19 PM Revision 10893: BIEN2/country_species/: svn:ignore the .tsv exports

Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:15 PM Revision 10891: added BIEN2/country_species/run, which exports each BIEN2 country's species list
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:14 PM Revision 10890: bugfix: lib/sh/util.sh: set_fds(): need to escape redirect destinations which are files, because they may contain special shell characters
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:10 PM Revision 10889: lib/sh/util.sh: added rm_prefix()
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:11 PM Revision 10888: lib/sh/db.sh: mysql_cmd(): added caller usage with connection/login opts
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
07:08 PM Revision 10887: lib/sh/db.sh: mysql(), mysql_export(): usage: added database=...
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:30 AM Revision 10886: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: Data provider validations: renamed to Datasource validations to clarify that this is a validation *of the datasources*, but not necessarily *by the data providers*
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/05/2013

07:19 PM Revision 10885: /README.TXT: Full database import: added Running individual steps separately label for the section that is not part of the main import, but is useful if the import is aborted part of the way through
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:02 PM Revision 10884: /README.TXT: moved Single datasource import, Datasource setup to top since these are the most important howtos
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
04:14 PM Revision 10883: bugfix: schemas/Makefile: enclose schema names in "" so that they won't be lowercased
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:56 PM Revision 10882: bugfix: schemas/Makefile, lib/common.Makefile: enclose schema names in "" so that they won't be lowercased
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
03:26 PM Revision 10881: /run: geoscrub_input/make(): updated runtime (20 s)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:31 PM Revision 10880: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: Data provider validations (spot-checking): moved ahead of Individual datasource refresh as decided in conference call
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:29 PM Revision 10879: schemas/vegbien.sql: analytical_plot: added aggregateOrganismObservationID from analytical_stem
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
08:37 AM Revision 10877: planning/timeline/timeline.2013.xls: Data provider validations: added subtask for Aggregated validations (counts)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:17 AM Revision 10876: inputs/import.stats.xls: analytical DB: updated rowcount
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:14 AM Revision 10875: inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:01 AM Revision 10874: inputs/input.Makefile: reimport: don't remove the existing import first, because it will instead be removed by the publish step. this ensures there is always one complete copy of the datasource in the DB.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
01:00 AM Revision 10873: added backups/vegbien.r10848.backup.md5
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:59 AM Revision 10872: backups/TNRS.backup.md5: updated
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:11 AM Revision 10871: bugfix: bin/import_all: use reimport_scrub instead of import_scrub so that the temp suffix of the datasource name is removed
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
12:02 AM Revision 10870: inputs/input.Makefile: reimport: use import_publish instead of import so that the reimport replaces the previous import
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

09/04/2013

11:59 PM Revision 10869: inputs/input.Makefile: added import_publish, which removes the temp suffix when the import is done
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:48 PM Revision 10868: bugfix: bin/after_import: run backups/fix_perms right after the backup files are created to make them private
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:32 PM Revision 10867: bugfix: backups/fix_perms: just make the backups themselves private, since the other files are in svn, and their permissions should match their accessibility through Redmine
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
11:06 PM Revision 10866: inputs/*/*/test.xml.ref: updated source.shortname for new datasource name, which now starts out with .new suffix
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:27 PM Revision 10865: bugfix: bin/make_analytical_db: `/run export_`: don't take input from the terminal, because this causes rm to prompt the user (from a background task) about overwriting the previous export
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
05:26 PM Revision 10864: /README.TXT: Full database import: Publish the new import: added runtime (1 min)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:43 PM Revision 10860: inputs/input.Makefile: added %/publish (`make inputs/src/src.version/publish`)
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:32 PM Revision 10859: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: datasource_publish(): need to remove the *current* live datasource instead of the datasource to publish. note that datasource_rename() does not currently generate an error if the specified datasource doesn't exist.
Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza
02:27 PM Revision 10858: bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: datasource_publish(): run it in a nested transaction so that there is always one published copy of the datasource. (note that a nested transaction is not automatically created for each function, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6274457/set-isolation-level-for-postgresql-stored-procedures?In_PG_your_procedures_aren%27t_separate_transactions#answer-6283201 .)
