decisions

plots aggregating validations

  • won't denormalize SALVIAS because already have input queries for it (Brad)
  • validate FIA last because it's a special case (Brad)

specimens aggregating validations

  • OK to run NY validations when writing specimens output queries instead of at the end with the other specimens datasources (Brad)
  • when writing specimens output queries based on NY input queries, treat query name as authoritative rather than query implementation (Brad)
  • use taxonoccurrence as the main specimen table
  • use concatenated taxon name instead of concatenating the ranks, since not all specimens datasources provide the ranks
    • do not use TNRS to parse apart the input names in order to use the ranks for an output query, that does not make sense for the validations (Brad)

new-style import

  • needs to include the denormalization of normalized datasources

NY

  • use artificial key as pkey instead of removing rows that are missing an accessionNumber (Brad)

to do for Aaron

aggregating validations

  1. finish specimens output queries
    • use concatenated taxon name instead of concatenating the ranks
    • in #1, use taxonoccurrence instead of location as the main specimen table
  2. run specimens output queries on NY to test them
  3. denormalize normalized plots datasources: TEAM, Madidi
  4. write denormalized plots input queries
  5. finish fixing plots output queries
  6. validate plots datasources: SALVIAS, VegBank, CVS, TEAM, Madidi, CTFS, FIA
  7. validate specimens datasources

new-style import

NY

FIA
