Data validation

  • fix remaining issues Brad found
  • include empty fields even if not provided by the data provider
    • e.g. collectionCode
    • these may be in the source data, but not mapped
  • map VegBank strata, % cover, etc.
  • higher priority than analytical DB

Data refresh

  • higher priority than analytical DB

GBIF

  • filter out animal observations
  • import only raw_occurrence_record
  • Brad will send formula to extract list of institutions with plant data: _inputs/GBIF/_src/_README.TXT_

FIA

  • map subset of fields in the FIA filter document from Brad: issues with duplicated column names preventing joining the tables
  • fkeys are the four columns together: for join, also use UNITCD
    plotCode = STATECD,COUNTYCD,PLOT (not PLOT_CN)
    plotCensusCode = STATECD,COUNTYCD,PLOT,INVYR

MO

  • remind Peter J and Bob Magill
  • need it by mid-March to be part of the range modeling
  • can't use Tropicos Specimen Search because it provides only a small subset of fields
    • it's missing the lat/long and specimen description that we especially need

CTFS

  • Rick C would prefer us to use the CTFS data from BIEN2: BIEN2 CTFS data mapped
  • Rick C looking for new CTFS records for us to put in BIEN
  • Steve Hubble might not want CTFS data in BIEN
  • also add Chinese plots data from Fang He
    • the Chinese plots are another part of the CTFS network of researchers

New data

BRIT

TEX

  • remind Tom Wendt

Analytical DB
