To do¶

Aaron¶

1. VegX modifications
   1. maybe conference call next Tuesday 3/20 at 1pm PDT/Wednesday 3/21 at 9am NZDT: not everyone is available, it's being rescheduled
   2. aggregateOrganismObservation should contain a measure of abundance (count, cover, etc.)
   3. tie aggregateOrganismObservation and individualOrganismObservation together by pointing to same taxonNameUsageConcept (like taxonoccurrence)
2. VegBIEN cultivated fields, etc.
   1. add boolean fields to taxonoccurrence for iscultivated, isexotic, other values in taxonclass enum
   2. move aggregateoccurrence.growthform to taxonoccurrence because it can also apply to specimens
3. tree traversal algorithm
   1. prototype Aaron's alternative algorithm (cross-linking each node to its ancestors using a many:many table)
   2. get OK from Mark, Jim on which alg to use
4. load remaining DwC inputs
5. load Canadensys data
6. implement mechanism to determine which specimenreplicates refer to the same specimen (or are the same record, from different data sources)
   • option to mark a specimenreplicate as authoritative (e.g. Canadensys)
7. count how many duplicates between Canadensys and GBIF
8. get VegBank data dictionary source code/raw format
9. convert VegBank data dictionary into VegBIEN database comments
