fix: inputs/U/Specimen/map.csv: Genus: remapped to taxonName because this field is actually mislabeled in the original column names

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`.

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).

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

10592 08/04/2013 01:29 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/U/Specimen/map.csv: translated remaining 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

inputs/U/Specimen/: translated some 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

10573 08/01/2013 04:56 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/U/Specimen/map.csv: Gazetteer/Newgazett, Majorarea: documented that these are the closest equivalent for Guyana/Suriname

10572 08/01/2013 04:55 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/U/Specimen/map.csv: Majorarea: mapped to stateProvince, which is the closest equivalent for Guyana/Suriname

10571 08/01/2013 04:54 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/U/Specimen/map.csv: Gazetteer/Newgazett: remapped to county, which is the closest equivalent for Guyana/Suriname

10570 08/01/2013 04:37 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/U/Specimen/map.csv: Gazetteer, Newgazett: combine them with _alt() instead of _join() because only one of Gazetteer, Newgazett is ever populated

10257 07/11/2013 12:09 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

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

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.)

7842 03/05/2013 09:08 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/U/Specimen/map.csv: Populated specimenHolderInstitutions

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.

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.

7500 02/07/2013 12:00 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

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.

4979 09/25/2012 04:52 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Prefix a * to every term that's not in Veg+ for easy identification of unmapped terms when editing map.csv. Note that canon will remove the * when it finds a matching Veg+ term.

4844 09/19/2012 07:22 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

input.Makefile: Maps building: Use new mappings/VegCore.csv as the VegCore vocabulary to canonicalize on, in order to also canonicalize VegCore terms which are not yet mapped to VegBIEN. This results in several DwC terms getting their case standardized according to http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/. Continue to determine unmapped terms using mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv, because a term should not be considered mapped until it has been mapped all the way through to VegBIEN.

4814 09/18/2012 09:11 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Remapped all unused terms to special value UNUSED. Remapped all private terms to special value PRIVATE. Remapped all deliberately unmapped terms to special value OMIT.

4684 09/14/2012 06:38 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Changed _merge to _join everywhere because _merge's (slower) duplicate elimination functionality is not needed (the combined columns do not both contain the same value, so they can simply be concatenated)

4679 09/14/2012 05:59 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Changed output column header from Veg+ to VegCore because the names will be VegCore names after automapping. This is possible now that we're using new automapping scripts that do not require a particular column header.

4657 09/12/2012 04:14 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Moved filter suffixes to separate filter column to enable automapping to work on those mappings' terms, using the steps at <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/Map_refactoring#Move-filter-suffixes-to-separate-filter-column&gt;. Note that the only changes to VegBIEN.csvs are the (now automapped) names of terms in "No join mapping" comments.

4656 09/12/2012 03:37 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Added Filter column to contain any suffix added after the term, so that the automapping mechanism does not have to deal with the filter expressions

4651 09/12/2012 02:18 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Removed no longer needed [Veg+] suffix in root, because the input column is no longer used by old-style map utilities such as union that needed this

4638 09/12/2012 12:43 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Changed empty mappings to self mappings, using the steps at <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/Map_refactoring#Change-empty-mappings-to-self-mappings&gt;. Note that in map.full.csv and VegBIEN.csv, lines that have changed are always the result of the input field's case being changed to match the case of the datasource's actual column name.

4636 09/12/2012 12:14 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Added back automapped mappings to map.csv, using the steps at <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/Map_refactoring#Add-back-automapped-mappings-to-mapcsv>

4592 09/11/2012 07:26 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

input.Makefile: Maps building: %/.map.csv.last_cleanup: Translate map.csv using $(mappings)/$(via)-VegCore.csv

4117 08/20/2012 07:16 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs: Replaced Veg+ prefix with map on via maps, using the steps at <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV_subfolders#Replace-Veg-prefix-with-map-on-via-maps>

4088 08/16/2012 08:30 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

Merged DwC (including DwC1) and VegCSV mappings into new Veg+ schema. This involves replacing occurrences of DwC and VegCSV with Veg+ (or sometimes VegCore) everywhere, as described in <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV-DwC_merging&gt;.

3753 08/02/2012 05:23 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

DwC mappings: Removed ':/list/' root (full version: '::[@xmlns:dcterms=http://purl.org/dc/terms/]/list/') from map spreadsheets to simplify the boilerplate in each file. Since intermediate DwC XML files no longer need to be produced for automated tests, these roots are not needed.

2184 05/14/2012 03:42 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

Mapped some unmapped fields in DwC inputs

1770 04/03/2012 03:23 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/maps/DwC.specimens.csv: Removed extranenous XML meta info from DwC column root, since it now just needs to be present in the core via map mappings/DwC-VegBIEN.specimens.csv

1510 03/19/2012 09:49 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/U/maps/DwC.specimens.csv: Mapped most of the remaining fields

1492 03/19/2012 08:18 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

Added inputs/U/maps
