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).

bugfix: inputs/XAL/Specimen/, NY/Ecatalog_all/: *JulianDay: remapped to dayOfYear instead of day (the day of the month)

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. Remapped organismNotes to be a synonym of occurrenceRemarks, since notes on an organism are more generally notes on an occurrence.

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.

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.

input.Makefile: Maps validation: %/new_terms.csv: Filter out terms that map to UNUSED, because these are not mappings that are useful as VegCore synonyms

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 -)

6255 11/16/2012 06:15 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/XAL/Specimen/map.csv: darwin:FieldNumber: Removed command to determine that field is unused, because UNUSED is a factual assertion that does not need a reason to be specified each time

6254 11/16/2012 06:11 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/XAL/Specimen/map.csv: Remapped darwin:CoordinatePrecision to UNUSED

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)

5631 10/18/2012 11:57 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

4905 09/20/2012 11:06 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/map.csv: Remapped latitude/longitude to decimalLatitude/Longitude because these fields almost always have units of decimal degrees

4857 09/19/2012 09:31 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

input.Makefile: Maps validation: %/new_terms.csv: Include the entire map spreadsheet row, so that each new term is listed together with its mapping. This facilitates adding new mappings to mappings/Veg+-VegCore.csv directly from any new_terms.csv. Note that the use of `sort -u` (in lib/mappings.Makefile) causes multiline comments to be separated, leading to spurious lines for each multiline comment line.

4856 09/19/2012 09:19 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/: Added unmapped_terms.csv, new_terms.csv which were not already under version control
