12963 03/28/2014 02:39 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

fix: inputs/*/*/map.csv: remapped occurrenceID-mapped fields to dataProviderRecordID when these were not globally unique DwC occurrenceIDs (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/#occurrenceID)

12886 03/24/2014 05:35 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: specimenreplicate.institution_id: renamed to duplicate_institutions_sourcelist_id, as decided in the conference calls (wiki.vegpath.org/2014-03-13_conference_call#schema-changes-2)

12879 03/24/2014 01:49 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore.htm: regenerated from wiki: rename specimenHolderInstitutions to specimen_duplicate_institutions, as decided in the 2014-03-13 conference call (wiki.vegpath.org/2014-03-13_conference_call#schema-changes-2). note that most schema changes (such as this one) involve mappings changes, which are handled automatically by `inputs/run postprocess; yes|make inputs/{NVS,SALVIAS,TEAM}/test`.

12516 02/27/2014 01:27 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: *.sql: public.source_by_shortname(): need to wrap it in a nested SELECT because Postgres incorrectly does not constant-fold (inline) it, leading to a slowdown when it is therefore run many times. this is done using the steps at wiki.vegpath.org/Postgres_queries#wrap-function-call-in-nested-SELECT .

11970 01/20/2014 11:33 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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).

11396 10/21/2013 07:14 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

fix: bin/map: put template: comment out the "Put template:" label so that the output is valid XML, and displays properly in a browser rather than showing a syntax error

11107 09/29/2013 08:58 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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.

10866 09/04/2013 11:06 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/test.xml.ref: updated source.shortname for new datasource name, which now starts out with .new suffix

10530 07/31/2013 04:04 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/: switched to new-style import, using the steps at wiki.vegpath.org/Adding_new-style_import_to_a_datasource

10529 07/31/2013 03:59 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: renamed DUPLICATE#of:... output columns to be <= 63 chars long, in order to be valid PostgreSQL columns without collisions

10528 07/31/2013 03:37 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/: translated multi-column filters to postprocessing derived columns, using the steps at wiki.vegpath.org/Adding_new-style_import_to_a_datasource#Translating-filters-to-postprocessing-derived-columns

10494 07/30/2013 04:51 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: conceptual_darwin_2003_1_0_BoundingBox: remapped to UNUSED

10436 07/26/2013 12:26 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: remapped Darwin Core synonyms to DUPLICATE. this avoids the need to translate these to postprocessing derived columns for new-style import, and also speeds up column-based import because there are less automatic alts to perform to resolve filter-less collisions. the svn diff was verified by replacing DUPLICATE#of:dwc_terms<term>#... with <term>, removing the comment, and checking that this removes the diff (except where VegCore has renamed a DwC term).

10435 07/26/2013 12:17 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: *scientificName: remapped to scientificName instead of taxonName to match the DwC term's name (this is the same dwc_terms_scientificName mismapping that was fixed in r10434)

10434 07/26/2013 11:56 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: dwc_terms_scientificName: remapped to scientificName instead of taxonName to match that DwC term name, as well as the mappings of other *scientificName terms

10433 07/26/2013 11:06 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: marked dwc_geospatial_VerbatimLatitude,Longitude as exact duplicates of dwc_terms_*

10432 07/26/2013 10:52 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: remapped identical _alt-ed fields to DUPLICATE. this avoids the need to translate these to postprocessing derived columns for new-style import, and also speeds up column-based import because there are less automatic _alts to perform to resolve filter-less collisions.

10431 07/26/2013 10:06 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: *CollectorNumber: moved these to the same _alt group as recordNumber, because they are actually duplicates

10430 07/26/2013 09:43 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

correction: inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: FieldNumber: fixed incorrect comment that these fields are identical to recordNumber, when instead they have the same *meaning but not the same values. instead, values are stored under either of the two terms. the previous conclusion had been based on an incorrect query, which used != instead of the NULL-sensitive IS NOT DISTINCT FROM.

10425 07/25/2013 07:34 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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)

10422 07/25/2013 05:08 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: remapped *dayOfYear-related terms to UNUSED

10421 07/25/2013 04:53 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: remapped conceptual_darwin_2003_1_0_JulianDay, dwc_dwcore_DayOfYear to dayOfYear instead of day (the day of the month)

10245 07/11/2013 12:55 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: inputs/*/*/postprocess.sql: made all operations idempotent, so that postprocess.sql can be run repeatedly (e.g. by new-style import)

10209 07/10/2013 02:32 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

10091 06/27/2013 12:28 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

added inputs/*/*/header.csv for CSV inputs, which are now generated by inputs/input.Makefile %/install

9882 06/12/2013 10:49 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: genus->taxonlabel.taxonomicname: filter out genera that contain numbers (using new _filter_genus()), which break TNRS and prevent it from matching any other parts of the name. later, these genera can instead be moved to the end of the name, where TNRS will correctly match them as Unmatched_terms.

9501 05/21/2013 11:10 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/postprocess.sql: Remove institutions that we have direct data for: query to obtain list: updated for current schema

8801 05/02/2013 08:53 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/input.Makefile: SVN: add, %/add: */logs: also svn:ignore *.gz, used for compressed log files

8176 03/25/2013 09:01 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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.)

7841 03/05/2013 09:07 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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.

7840 03/05/2013 09:06 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: Fixed embedded line endings

7717 02/26/2013 05:59 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: dwc_dwcore_Remarks: Remapped to occurrenceRemarks (it had been incorrectly automapped to taxonRemarks). Combined occurrenceRemarks inputs using /_alt.

7716 02/26/2013 05:47 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki. Remapped organismNotes to be a synonym of occurrenceRemarks, since notes on an organism are more generally notes on an occurrence.

7713 02/26/2013 05:19 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped occurrenceRemarks

7712 02/26/2013 04:53 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Only use one of collection and collectionURL instead of concatenating them when both are provided (as requested by Brad <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/Spot-checking#ACAD&gt;)

7703 02/26/2013 04:27 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: _avg(): Use numeric param names to work with SQL functions

7662 02/26/2013 09:58 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/map.csv: conceptual_darwin_2003_1_0_CoordinatePrecision: Remapped to coordinateUncertaintyInMeters, assuming units based on the range and precision of values

7646 02/22/2013 08:17 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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).

7527 02/12/2013 01:08 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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.

7469 02/05/2013 04:32 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv, inputs/*/*/map.csv: Applied term renamings from the new dynamically generated Veg+-VegCore.csv, which reflects the current state of the data dictionary. (Permanently switching to the new Veg+-VegCore.csv will be a separate change.) Updates to VegCore term names that have occurred since the data dictionary was created are now able to take effect, which involves remapping and inferring units on several fields.

7433 02/04/2013 11:03 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: institutionCode list->sourcename mapping: _split(): Also match ; as a separator, and match separators with or without a following space

7310 01/18/2013 12:43 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Don't create NCBI crosslinks for the matched taxonomic name. These crosslinks are no longer needed now that TNRS provides a separate accepted name on which crosslinks can be made.

7304 01/18/2013 10:57 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonlabel: Removed creationdate, which duplicates taxondetermination.determinationdate

7247 01/16/2013 08:23 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

Added inputs/SpeciesLink/Specimen/postprocess.sql to remove institutions that we have direct data for

7198 01/11/2013 09:11 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped recordNumber to new specimenreplicate.collectionnumber

7195 01/11/2013 08:44 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped individualCode. authortaxoncode: Prefer tag over recordNumber (collectionnumber), because this applies to the plant rather than the specimen.

7190 01/11/2013 07:33 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: plantobservation: Renamed collectionnumber to authorplantcode since this number, which identifies the plant, is actually different from the collectionnumber that identifies the specimen collected from it. This distinction is meaningful for plots data, but generally not for specimens data.

7162 01/11/2013 02:03 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Removed TNRS input taxonlabels meant to cross-link to taxonlabels added by the TNRS import, because TNRS taxondeterminations are now created instead

7142 01/09/2013 03:59 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: taxonlabel.taxonomicname: Prepend the family to the rest of the name using new _merge_prefix() instead of _join_words()/_nullIf(), so that any input taxonomic name that includes the family will not have the family duplicated in the combined taxonomic name. Previously, the duplication was removed only when the rest of the input name was equal to the family. This change fixes a bug in the new TNRS import where a pre-concatenated taxonomic name (Accepted_scientific_name) which includes the family is now used instead of Accepted_name, which only includes it when it's equal to the family.

6992 12/20/2012 02:26 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: authortaxoncode mappings: Only use authorTaxonCode if there is no plant ID, because an individual plant gets its own taxonoccurrence and thus needs the taxonoccurrence's IDs to be unique to the plant, regardless of what the author designates as the taxonoccurrence code

6989 12/20/2012 01:23 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped authorTaxonCode

6834 12/14/2012 03:18 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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 -)

6795 12/11/2012 11:41 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: institutionCode: Removed mapping to sourcename.matched_source_id, which is now autopopulated. Split any list of institutionCodes apart using new _split().

6791 12/11/2012 11:11 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Allow multiple institutionCodes for each specimenreplicate by linking new sourcelist table many-to-many to source via sourcename (which is now a linking table)

6756 12/11/2012 04:37 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Don't forward specimenreplicate IDs to location for plots data (where the specimenreplicate IDs apply only to the specimen)

6432 11/24/2012 01:24 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped locality description fields to location.iscultivated using _locationnarrative_is_cultivated()

6409 11/24/2012 08:29 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: source table mappings: Set shortname to env var $source when it's not explicitly specified, because shortname is a required field of source

6406 11/24/2012 07:50 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

db_xml.py: put(): _setDefault(): Support setting multiple col_defaults at once by using the param names themselves as the column names

6403 11/24/2012 07:29 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Set the source_id col_default to the datasource name using the new _setDefault() built-in function and _env()

6384 11/24/2012 04:19 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: institutionCode: Also map to the sourcename's matched source, which identifies whether the source is a herbarium

6375 11/24/2012 02:10 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: institutionCode: Remap to source.shortname when specimen information is not provided, as is the case for geoscrub.herbaria on nimoy

6359 11/21/2012 11:05 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Concatenated taxonlabel: Don't prepend family if the taxonName/scientificName itself is the family, so that the family is not duplicated in the concatenated taxonomic name

6314 11/19/2012 07:36 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Remapped cultivated to location when a TaxonOccurrence is not provided, indicating that the record is a plot

6313 11/19/2012 07:35 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Remapped cultivated to location when a TaxonOccurrence is not provided, indicating that the record is a plot

6294 11/19/2012 04:09 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped acceptedCounty, county to the matched place

6251 11/16/2012 06:00 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Removed mapping for coordinatePrecision, which is not the same as coordsaccuracy_m. coordinatePrecision is instead "the precision of the coordinates" themselves in degrees (<http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/#coordinatePrecision&gt;).

6250 11/16/2012 05:53 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: coordinates: Changed coordinates.coordsaccuracy_deg units to m

6217 11/15/2012 08:26 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Removed _date/date, because _date using a string date argument is no longer supported under plpython3u (dateutil is missing). Note that PostgreSQL's own date parsing is sufficient for most dates, so this use of _date is not strictly necessary and removing it will improve import times.

6179 11/14/2012 06:30 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Renamed reference -> source to make this table more broadly applicable, and because this now stores the datasource metadata

6171 11/14/2012 05:35 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Made taxonoccurrence.verbatimcollectorname an fkey to party, and renamed it to collector_id

6149 11/13/2012 06:23 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

specimenreplicate: Made institution_id an fkey to referencename instead of party, to later be matched up with reference entries for each aggregator's subprovider

6123 11/13/2012 02:30 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: matched place's coordinates: Fixed bug where coordinates entry itself needed to have its datasource (reference) set to geoscrub, in addition to the place entry that uses it, in order to match up properly with geoscrub's corresponding input place (whose coordinates as well as place are owned by the geoscrub datasource)

6122 11/13/2012 02:22 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: matched place's coordinates: Fixed bug where coordinates mappings with and without matched_place_id=0 need to sort together in order to be merged, by prepending ".," to the place attrs list

5969 11/02/2012 03:42 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: decimalLatitude/Longitude->geoscrub input coordinates: Also set to NULL if 0 here, not just for the coordinates linked to the datasource's place instance

5958 11/01/2012 10:39 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: matched place: Also map verbatim place's geoscrub-related fields to the matched place, to link up with geoscrub's corresponding input place

5953 11/01/2012 10:09 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Renamed creator_ids to reference_id since they are now fkeys to reference

5952 11/01/2012 10:04 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Made creator_ids an fkey to reference instead of party, so that datasources are stored separately from people and to allow adding reference-type metadata (URL, copyright, etc.) for each datasource

5949 11/01/2012 09:46 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Don't populate taxonlabel.creator_id using identifiedBy, because that was meant for creating a taxonconcept when the accordingTo was not specified, but taxonconcepts are now modeled differently using a taxonconcept subclass of taxonlabel with a concept_reference_id

5948 11/01/2012 09:36 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonverbatim: Renamed binomial to taxonname because this field is actually the taxonomic name without the author, not just the genus+specific epithet binomial

5947 11/01/2012 09:29 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore.csv: Renamed *Binomial to *TaxonName because this field can store more ranks than just the genus+specificEpithet binomial (that goes in speciesBinomial)

5932 11/01/2012 07:18 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: matched taxonlabel's ancestors: Only create the cross links to NCBI if the name is accepted (taxonIsCanonical)

5908 11/01/2012 03:36 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped acceptedCountry, acceptedStateProvince, acceptedDecimalLatitude/Longitude. Mapped decimalLatitude/Longitude to matched place's coordinates when acceptedDecimalLatitude/Longitude not provided (as is the case for the geoscrub table).

5861 10/30/2012 11:23 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Remapped latitude/longitude to new coordinates table

5855 10/30/2012 09:54 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Renamed placepath to place since this contains primary information about the place, including the reference to the canonical place

5790 10/25/2012 04:53 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Only prepend the family to the concatenated scientificName for TNRS if it ends in -aceae (using _taxon_family_require_std()), to avoid sending unsupported, nonstandard families to TNRS which it will place in Unmatched_terms

5788 10/25/2012 04:09 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Prepend the family to the concatenated scientificName input to TNRS, so that TNRS can use it to disambiguate the genus

5783 10/25/2012 12:45 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonverbatim: Renamed species to specific_epithet to avoid confusion with the scientific meaning of species (genus+specificEpithet), since this field contains just the specific epithet

5743 10/23/2012 11:15 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: TNRS<->NCBI attachment: Do not include rank in the mapping because taxonomicname is globally unique, and thus it isn't used in looking up the NCBI taxonlabel

5741 10/23/2012 10:49 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: TNRS<->NCBI attachment: Also attach TNRS genus to NCBI backbone. This causes attachment to be made with as many of family and genus as are provided and have an entry in NCBI.

5739 10/23/2012 10:39 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Instead of connecting the acceptedFamily to the NCBI backbone, connect the family for the TNRS matched taxonlabel. This connects more families and also connects the same set of fields as will be connected for the genus.

5657 10/18/2012 04:21 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Link taxondetermination to taxonverbatim (which is a subclass of taxonlabel) instead of directly to taxonlabel. This will enable later having multiple taxonverbatims for one taxonlabel.

5656 10/18/2012 04:04 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonlabel: Renamed identifyingtaxonomicname to taxonomicname because the taxonomicname provided by the datasource is now in taxonverbatim, so there is no name collision. Note that both of these fields store the same type of information, but taxonlabel's is autogenerated while taxonverbatim's is verbatim (and is only set if provided by the datasource).

5655 10/18/2012 03:57 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonlabel: Moved non-scoping fields to new taxonverbatim subclass table, which contains the component parts of the taxonlabel

5646 10/18/2012 01:51 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Also create the identifyingtaxonomicname on the verbatim taxonlabel supplied by the datasource, in addition to on the TNRS input taxonlabel that the verbatim taxonlabel is matched up with

5645 10/18/2012 01:46 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Expanded brace expressions for putting together the identifyingtaxonomicname

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Always generate the concatenated identifyingtaxonomicname, even for higher taxa, to ensure that this field is always populated. Note that this will cause names of higher taxa to be scrubbed by TNRS, but this is usually not a problem because such names either have no match or not a close enough match based on the name only. Naming conventions generally cause names at different ranks to be different, so that collisions with lower ranks should not be a problem.

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonlabel: Renamed taxonomicname to binomial because it excludes the author

mappings: Renamed *scientificName to *binomial because DwC defines the scientificName as "The full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known", but many datasources do not include the author in their scientific name, and the fields scientificName is mapped to in VegBIEN assume it does not include the author

schemas/vegbien.sql: Renamed taxonconcept to taxonlabel per today's conference call, where it was decided that taxonconcept contained too many unrelated fields to be purely a taxon concept
