to do for Brad¶
aggregating validations¶
send out the SALVIAS side of the plots queries (the original e-mail with the queries included only the VegBIEN side)see bien3_validations_salvias_db_original.sql .
BIEN2 traits validation¶
spot-check these directlywrite aggregating queries for traits datasee BIEN2 traits queries .
decisions¶
beta release¶
- we will be doing an "internal milestone" instead of a public release (Martha)
BIEN3 milestone¶
the following needs to be done for this (Martha):
- spot-checking
- project and plot contributors
- for the milestone, just fix the top-priority issues (Brad)
- aggregating validations
aggregating validations¶
- aggregating validations are a higher priority than validation fixes (Martha)
- however, the attribution-related fixes in Brad's "High priority tasks" e-mail are a higher priority than aggregating validations
- OK to do this by diffing the text outputs of running the queries (Brad)
BIEN2 traits validation¶
- Brad will spot-check these directly
to do for Aaron¶
high-priority validation fixes¶
SALVIAS attribution¶
map plot contributors- there should not be any changes in the SALVIAS schema other than the new tables (Brad)
- see the 2013-12-19 conference call and Brad's "High priority tasks" e-mail
BIEN2 traits validation¶
- add data providers and locality information to extract
aggregating validations¶
- fix VegBIEN SALVIAS queries #15, 12, 13
- send to Brad so he can learn how the VegBIEN schema works
- integrate the SALVIAS aggregating validations into BIEN
- each query should be a view, so that the field names are automatically kept up-to-date with the schema
- integrate the NYBG aggregating validations into BIEN
- generalize the NYBG aggregating validations for all specimens datasources
- for each datasource, exclude queries that use columns that aren't present in that datasource
long-term¶
- add all tables to the VegBIEN ERD
