To do¶

Martha¶

• Martha will remind Bob to review revised schemas (VegBIEN, DwC, VegX) and sign off on them.
• All: The Friday, April 6 call has been rescheduled at 1 PM PDT Mon April 9 to accommodate Aaron’s schedule. This is a one-time change. Mark your calendars.
• Aaron will update VegX schema to reflect the changes that have been discussed:
  • First class fields
  • Nesting of tables
  • Aaron: For VegX:
    • Organize the review of the VegX changes needed. (Brad, Mark, Bob, Aaron will participate).
    • Once can make the case for those changes, Aaron will contact Nick.
• Aaron: Reverse the DwC mapping so validations can be done

Brad¶

• Move ahead on loading specimen data.
  • There is raw data source for specimens and there are scripts that load those data into staging table.
  • Don’t try loading FIA. It’s problematic, missing crucial meta data.
  • Don’t reload TEAM, they’ll be sending new data.
