moved everything into /trunk/ to create the standard svn layout, for use with tools that require this (eg. git-svn). IMPORTANT: do NOT do an `svn up`. instead, re-use your working copy's existing files with `svn switch` (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.6/svn.ref.svn.c.switch.html).

bugfix: inputs/*/*/map.csv for specimen tables: remapped eventDate,day,month,year to *Collected, because a general date always applies to the observation itself rather than to any parent event (specimens don't have a parent event)

inputs/*/*/map.csv: added distinguishing #... suffix (e.g. UNUSED#institutionID) to the special terms OMIT, PRIVATE, UNUSED (VegCore.vegpath.org#Special-terms) to avoid creating a collision in the staging table renaming

inputs/*/*/map.csv for CSV tables with a row_num column: added missing row_num entry, which is needed by the staging table column renaming to make the order of the map.csv columns match the order in the staging table

inputs/input.Makefile: %/.map.csv.last_cleanup: Run fix_line_endings after canon/translate to standardize Python's \r\n line endings back to \n. This prevents issues with mixed line endings because LibreOffice (and probably Excel) treat all cell-internal line endings as \n but row line endings as whatever the file had, while text editors like jEdit translate all line endings to whatever the autodetected line ending is. (This creates spurious line ending diffs when a map spreadsheet containing multiline cells is edited in a text editor.)

mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki. Renamed specimenHolders to specimenHolderInstitutions to make it obvious that this is a list of institutions, such as would be in institutionCode in a DwC export.

mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki. Editing: Changed ambiguous terms templates to list the name of the alternative itself in the alternatives list, instead of the ambiguous term + a source suffix. This avoids the need to choose a source suffix for each alternative of an ambiguous term, as the ambiguous term itself (without the suffix) can be listed as the synonym. Coordinates: Disambiguated verbatimCoordinateSystem.

mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki. Source: Added authors. Renamed creator to firstPublisher. Moved dataOwner to Source as list. Coordinates: latitude/longitude, coordinatePrecision: Added units disambiguation. latitude/longitude_DMS: Added components. Global IDs: Changed "globally unique" tag to "global ID" and hyperlinked it to <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/Global_IDs> (which now includes detailed examples of the various types of global IDs).

mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki. Documentation has been added on how to choose term names (https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore#Naming) and how to form globally unique ID values (https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore#Forming-IDs). Source and Specimen terms have been renamed to be self-explanatory and unambiguous (the DwC equivalents remain as synonyms). Short definitions of Source terms have been added to explain the differences between them. Source, Specimen, and Collection terms have been shortened according to the new instructions for choosing preferred term names (https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore#Naming).

mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki. Brad's new DwC ID terms spreadsheet has now been added, and a number of the ID terms clarified, disambiguated, and recategorized. In particular, institutionCode has now been split into the custodialInstitutions and collectingInstitution, to differentiate between which institution has the specimen vs. stamped the specimen. This distinction is important because the catalogNumber, stamped on the specimen, is only unique within the collectingInstitution. Most datasources don't unambiguously specify which institution their institutionCode is referring to, so it has been assumed to be custodialInstitutions unless a data dictionary says otherwise (as is the case for UNCC). In addition, a MatchedTaxonDetermination table has been added with the *_matched fields from TNRS.

inputs/*/Specimen/map.csv for Canadensys sources: Remapped institutionID to UNUSED

inputs/*/Specimen/map.csv: Remapped ID to datasourceRecordID

mappings/VegCore.csv: Terms: Removed namespace prefixes (dcterms:), because VegCore terms are globally unique within VegCore and there should not be multiple versions of the same VegCore term with different namespaces. Provenance is instead indicated in the Sources column, which contains not just a namespace but a full URL to each source term.

6831 12/14/2012 02:46 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore.csv: Term names: Changed special characters to _ because Redmine doesn't support special characters in HTML anchors (it removes everything except letters, numbers, _, and -)
