# Date Author Comment
12030 02/02/2014 11:18 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

added inputs/XAL/Specimen/_no_import, since this is a demo-only datasource and there isn't a staging table for it

12018 02/02/2014 12:49 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/input.Makefile: add!: verify/: also svn:ignore *.tsv, *.txt

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).

11788 11/26/2013 11:11 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

**/new_terms.csv, unmapped_terms.csv updated (using `make missing_mappings`)

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

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

10423 07/25/2013 06:27 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

10260 07/11/2013 12:53 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/ which do not contain any explicit collisions (wiki.vegpath.org/2013-06-27_conference_call#To-do-for-Aaron > #3.2 > the following datasources ...): switched to new-style import, which adds the staging table column renaming

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

10242 07/10/2013 10:07 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/Source/VegBIEN.csv: regenerated for new-style import, which uses a symlink to mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv instead of a custom mapping using the original column names

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

10199 07/09/2013 04:44 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: inputs/*/Source/map.csv: 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. the staging table column renaming is now used by all Source tables.

10192 07/09/2013 01:04 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: inputs/*/Source/: added missing ./run, which creates the new-style staging tables with the metadata fields as part of the table. this is needed now that these subdirs use installed staging tables instead of metadata-only map.csvs.

10179 07/06/2013 05:39 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/: added table.run for use by the table subdirs in new-style import. datasources without table subdirs do not need this.

10177 07/06/2013 05:17 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/: added top-level Makefile which includes inputs/input.Makefile, so that make can be run directly on the datasrc dir without needing to specify `--makefile=../input.Makefile` (see input.Makefile $(selfMake))

10170 07/06/2013 02:26 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

bugfix: inputs/*/Source/: use installed staging table (with blank-line data.csv) in order to also work with new-style import. this also fixes a benign diff between the by-row and by-col test outputs, where row-based import would not import the Source/ entries because there was not at least one row in the input. note that in order to ensure that all datasources are properly run, you need to check `svn st|sort` against the datasource schema names to see if any are missing.

10109 06/28/2013 04:54 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

empty inputs/*/import_order.txt: added subdirs in the order they are used by inputs/input.Makefile, by running make on the inputs to auto-populate import_order.txt. import_order.txt is needed by the runscripts to run the right set of subdirs in the right order.

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.

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.

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

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).

7581 02/19/2013 08:45 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

Added inputs/XAL/_src/digir.xml.gz.md5

7547 02/14/2013 08:58 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/*/VegBIEN.csv: Regenerated from mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv

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

7225 01/14/2013 05:13 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

7216 01/14/2013 01:53 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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

7201 01/11/2013 09:44 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

*/new_terms.csv, */unmapped_terms.csv: Regenerated using `make missing_mappings`

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

6855 12/14/2012 09:29 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/Source/map.csv without mappings: Added referenceType, etc. mappings. This also ensures that the source table entry for the datasource will be created before the herbaria list is imported, causing all top-level datasources to sort at the top of the source table.

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 -)

6805 12/12/2012 06:07 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

input.Makefile: SVN: add: verify: Also ignore *.xlsx

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)

6649 12/06/2012 05:23 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/input.Makefile: SVN: add: verify/: Added *.xls to svn:ignore

6591 12/04/2012 09:33 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

input.Makefile: SVN: add: Add a Source table to store datasource metadata. This adds a Source table to all herbaria which are listed in .herbaria, and therefore didn't previously need a Source table to indicate their referenceType and sampleType.

6580 12/04/2012 07:57 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/verify/: Updated svn:ignore

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

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

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

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

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

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

6177 11/14/2012 06:16 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)

5922 11/01/2012 05:34 AM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

inputs/*/: Placed all logs/ subdirs and import_order.txt under version control, using `make inputs/.../add`

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

5644 10/18/2012 01:21 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

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.

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

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

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

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

5601 10/17/2012 01:15 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Mapped accordingTo to taxonconcept.creator_id, and have it take the place of identifiedBy when both are present

5600 10/17/2012 01:12 PM Aaron Marcuse-Kubitza

mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv: Remapped people's names split apart into name components in party to new party.fullname, which does not require splitting or make assumptions about the number of people who may be listed in a particular name field and which components of their name(s) are present
