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)

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

10619 08/07/2013 10:22 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

10618 08/07/2013 09:50 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/: 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. reproductiveCondition: use the suggested values at DwC.vegpath.org?reproductiveCondition instead of just joining together the values in flower and fruit.

10615 08/07/2013 09:04 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: infrarank: remapped to EQUIV (of usdaRank). usdaRank, infrarank: documented the VegCore term that each would map to.

10607 08/07/2013 05:56 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: loanto, inorout: removed mapping to occurrenceRemarks because this information does not relate to the occurrence. it is also rarely populated.

10604 08/06/2013 04:55 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/: translated single-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

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.

7873 03/07/2013 06:27 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

7865 03/06/2013 08:30 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: Mapped flower, fruit -> reproductiveCondition using translation is from e-mail conv between Jim Matthews at Habitat Assessment and Bob Peet on 2010-12-2~3

7859 03/06/2013 07:12 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: cultivated: assume anything non-NULL to be cultivated, so that we err on the side of excluding possibly-cultivated specimens

7819 03/05/2013 02:39 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: campus: Mapped to cultivated, interpreting non-NULL values as true

7818 03/05/2013 02:29 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: campus: Removed mapping to occurrenceRemarks because this is just a code, not a description. Added definition from Bob's validation comments.

7815 03/05/2013 12:25 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Removed specimenIndexer->institutionCode mappings because the institutionCode should refer only to the specimenHolder

7812 03/05/2013 11:24 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: Removed mappings to reproductiveCondition because we don't know what the single-letter codes mean

7699 02/26/2013 03:44 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: herbarium->specimenIndexer: Replace UNCCD (UNCC database?) with UNCC

7610 02/20/2013 07:33 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped reproductiveCondition

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.

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

7350 01/24/2013 08:18 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv: accession: Remapped to catalogNumber per Bob's corrections

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

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

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

7157 01/11/2013 12:05 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: primary taxonlabel's parent taxonlabel: Fixed bug where a taxonverbatim was incorrectly being created solely to store the taxonRank, even though it was already stored in the taxonlabel's rank field

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.

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)

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()

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

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

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

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

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

6084 11/08/2012 02:48 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

Updated inputs/UNCC/Specimen/test.xml.ref inserted row count

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

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

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

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

5638 10/18/2012 12:25 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

5608 10/17/2012 04:12 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

5596 10/17/2012 12:43 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonconcept: Renamed taxonname to taxonepithet for clarity and to be consistent with TCS's use of "epithet" to denote what the taxonname was intended to be (http://www.tdwg.org/standards/117/download/#/UserGuidev_1.3.pdf)

5487 10/12/2012 04:28 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Only forward taxonRank to the parent taxonconcept (which stores the infraspecific taxonconcept when the infraspecificEpithet is provided) if there is no explicit parent provided via parentTaxonID/etc.

5465 10/12/2012 05:47 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonconcept: Renamed canon_concept_id to matched_concept_id, because this is actually the closest-match taxonconcept in the match hierarchy (datasource concept -> parsed concept -> matched concept -> accepted concept) rather than the accepted synonym, which goes in accepted_concept_id

5399 10/10/2012 07:55 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonconcept: Renamed canon_taxonconcept_id to canon_concept_id to shorten the name, which is used often

5313 10/08/2012 09:30 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonconcept: taxonconcept_required_key: Removed family and genus because these are now cached fields only, and are not used for scoping a taxonconcept. Instead, *taxonomicname and taxonname+parent_id are used for this purpose. This removes several leaf taxonconcepts with insufficient scoping information to create a taxonconcept separate from the main tree. With the upcoming population of creationdate, some of these taxonconcepts will reappear due to the date's additional distinguishing information.

5306 10/08/2012 08:38 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: taxonconcept: Moved infraspecific taxonconcept to its own level, rather than combining it with the level that contains the full taxonomic name and author (as well as any morphospecies), for consistency with the storage of other ranked taxonomic name components, which each get their own taxonconcept. The infraspecific taxon concept is general to all parties making idenfitications (within a datasource), while the concatenated name and author and any morphospecies are specific to the person who defined the taxonconcept used by a taxondetermination.

5294 10/08/2012 04:35 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: taxonconcepts: Also create the taxonconcept tree if datasource provided separated components of the taxonomic name and/or its own tree of life with higher classifications. This enables storing the datasource's own tree of life to supplement any official tree (TROPICOS, USDA, etc.).

5264 10/05/2012 07:30 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Also map *taxonRank to taxonconcept.rank, so that if it's in the taxonrank enum, it will automatically populate this field

5263 10/05/2012 07:14 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Remapped *infraspecificEpithet to new taxonconcept.taxonname rather than placing it in subspecies prefixed with the taxonRank, because it isn't necessarily the subspecies and because taxonname is defined to contain the lowest-rank portion of the taxonomic name. Note that when both morphospecies and infraspecificEpithet are provided, infraspecificEpithet takes priority for the taxonname field, because if TNRS leaves unmatched terms (which are tentatively mapped to morphospecies) but also matches an infraspecificEpithet, then the unmatched terms can't be for a morphospecies (because an infraspecificEpithet and therefore also a specificEpithet was matched, so the species is definite and formally named).

5252 10/04/2012 11:19 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped *taxonRank to new taxonconcept.verbatimrank

5242 10/04/2012 08:26 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Renamed datasource_id to creator_id so it can apply generally to any entity (such as a person), not just an aggregated datasource. This also enables taxonconcept.datasource_id to merge with creator_id, which now serves the same purpose.

5237 10/04/2012 06:51 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Fixed bug where needed to set datasource_id=0 on the TNRS party (which concatenated names/TNRS inputs are owned by) in order to make it a datasource (a root party)

5225 10/04/2012 04:23 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Renamed taxonpath -> taxonconcept as part of taxonomic schema refactoring at <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/2012-10-03_conference_call#Taxonomic-schema-refactoring>

5176 10/02/2012 11:37 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: taxonoccurrence.authortaxoncode: Only populate if needed to distinguish the taxonoccurrence within a plot

5138 10/01/2012 04:38 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: non-TNRS taxonpaths: Store the concatenated identifyingtaxonomicname in a separate taxonpath owned by the TNRS datasource, so that it will match up with (and create a link to) the corresponding submitted TNRS name's taxonpath. This in turn is linked to the TNRS-determined accepted name, thus creating a three-level hierarchy of datasource name -> concatenated name -> accepted name.

5137 10/01/2012 03:59 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: taxonomic terms: Remapped the concatenated taxonomic name to new identifyingtaxonomicname to use it directly to match up with the TNRS submitted name. Continue to map scientificNameWithAuthorship to taxonomicnamewithauthor.

5109 09/28/2012 11:21 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Don't combine taxonRank with infraspecificEpithet if there is no infraspecificEpithet, because the taxonRank is only the infraspecificEpithet's prefix when there is an actual infraspecificEpithet. Often, taxonRank contains values like "genus" or "species" which cannot be used for this purpose.

5072 09/27/2012 10:37 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: taxonomic terms: Changed _first to _alt because some datasources have NULL values in scientificNameWithAuthorship or scientificName, so it can't just be used in place of the joined-together taxonomic ranks

5014 09/26/2012 08:30 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Use new, more general _join_words() instead of _name()

5012 09/26/2012 08:19 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Taxonomic terms: Also join terms together in taxonomicnamewithauthor if scientificNameWithAuthorship is not provided, for use by TNRS

4965 09/24/2012 05:48 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Replaced "scientific name" with "taxonomic name" for schema-wide consistency and for consistency with the taxon/taxonomic name vocabulary

4949 09/24/2012 02:45 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Only use institutionCode+collectionCode+catalogNumber as the authorlocationcode (location-scoping ID) if there is actually a catalogNumber. Otherwise, the mapping process would attempt to create one location for each collection in the datasource, when there should be one location for each specimen.

4944 09/24/2012 01:28 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: taxonpath: Renamed scientificnameauthor to author so the column name doesn't have "scientificname" in it, which made the term look confusingly like scientificname itself. Added descriptive comment that this is the author of the scientific name.

4834 09/19/2012 04:47 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Forward occurrenceID to taxonoccurrence.sourceaccessioncode when there is no other taxonoccurrence.sourceaccessioncode, to ensure that taxonoccurrence is uniquely identified so that there is one taxonoccurrence per organism

4833 09/19/2012 04:16 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: taxonoccurrence.authortaxoncode alternatives: Use _first instead of _alt because when one of these fields is present, it can be used directly even if it's sometimes NULL, without needing to spend a lot of time _alting together fields that won't be used. Datasources where the authortaxoncode is sometimes NULL usually have a separate sourceaccessioncode for the taxonoccurrence. (In the rare case that they don't, they should map a non-NULL field to recordNumber or tag to ensure that taxonoccurrences can be uniquely identified.)

4727 09/17/2012 09:00 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Added placepath (analogous to taxonpath), and point locationplace to it instead of directly to namedplace

4726 09/17/2012 08:11 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Split locationdetermination into locationcoords and locationplace, so that coordinate determinations can be made separately from place determinations

4718 09/14/2012 11:18 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

schemas/vegbien.sql: Renamed plantconcept to taxonpath for consistency with DwC's Taxon category and to emphasize that the table stores taxonomic paths

4703 09/14/2012 09:47 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Taxonomic names: Remapped to new denormalized fields in plantconcept

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)

4622 09/12/2012 08:04 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Removed no longer needed /_simplifyPath:[next=parent_id]/path expressions in specific paths because parent_id forwarding is now set globally for all paths in the map root

4621 09/12/2012 07:56 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Added /_simplifyPath:[next=parent_id]/path to root so the returned subplot location will be its parent location if there is no subplot name or ID (indicating that that particular plot did not have subplots). Note that this also causes the parent_id forwarding effect to occur for all other tables containing parent_id, which will help prevent similar issues with subplot events, etc. This will hopefully fix the SALVIAS.plotObservations bug where some organisms did not have a subplot #, causing the subplot location to become NULL and causing the corresponding locationevent rows not to match the locationevent_unique_within_location index filter condition (which requires a parent_id), which caused multiple output table pkeys to be returned for those rows, violating the locationevent_pkeys temp table's primary key.

4620 09/12/2012 07:25 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: namedplace elements: _simplifyPath() calls: Removed no longer needed `require` arg, and removed no longer needed table suffix from `next` arg

4566 09/11/2012 01:45 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/: Moved year/month/dayCollected mappings from Veg+-VegCore.csv to VegCore-VegBIEN.csv so that Veg+-VegCore.csv contains only renamings, not business logic. Note that this allows the year/month/dayCollected values to bypass the additional _dateRangeStart filter that is applied to text dates. The priority of the plain dateCollected field is now higher than the year/month/dayCollected fields when both are specified, because the dateCollected field presumably contains verbatim text while the year/month/dayCollected fields contain parsed date parts.

4562 09/11/2012 01:09 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Don't map dateCollected to locationevent.obsstartdate/obsenddate because this is the date the specimen was collected, not the date (range) of the entire collection event. This distinction may not be meaningful for specimens data, but VegBIEN should reflect what the data provider designated. This also reduces the number of dateCollected-related mappings needed for any dateCollected-related field, such as year/month/dayCollected.

4558 09/11/2012 12:28 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/UNCC/Specimen/map.csv, inputs/NCU-NCSC/Specimen/map.csv: Remapped cultivated fields directly via new cultivated term, rather than via establishmentMeans

4386 08/30/2012 12:45 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/: Renamed subfolders to VegCSV names, using the steps at <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV_subfolders#Rename-subfolders-to-VegCSV-names>

4336 08/29/2012 08:08 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: location.authorlocationcode mappings: Use _first to remove specimens-related alternatives for this field from consideration when plots-related alternatives exist. This avoids unintentionally using specimens-related columns for this field in plots data.

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: _simplifyPath() calls: Removed no longer needed `require` arg, and removed no longer needed table suffix from `next` arg

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Primary taxondetermination: Removed [role=identifier] because the role of the entity making the determination is unknown. Added [!isoriginal] filter to those mappings to ensure that primary taxondetermination XPaths map to a different taxondetermination than the [isoriginal=true] determination when both are present.

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped taxonRank analogously to computer.taxonRank

4189 08/23/2012 02:57 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: taxonomic terms: Removed ":[isoriginal=true]" because there may be multiple determinations for an organism (either in separate rows or, for SALVIAS, in separate columns), and not all will be the original determination

schemas/vegbien.sql: Moved collectionnumber from specimenreplicate to plantobservation to replace authorplantcode, since these terms are used analogously in plots and specimens data. This code is really the DwC recordNumber (VegBIEN collectionnumber), which "serves as a link between field notes and an Occurrence record, such as a specimen [or plots data] collector's number" (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/#recordNumber). Also, this prevents a specimenreplicate from incorrectly being created when plots data provides an authorplantcode.
