Code Table Request - Add ectoparasite: Acari to Examined_Detected Code Table

[campmlc]

Initial Request

Goal:

Add ectoparasite: Acari to the Examined_Detected code table:

Proposed Values:

ectoparasite: Acari

ectoparasite: mite or tick

Proposed Definitions:

ectoparasite: Acari : "Legacy Arachnid subclass of mites and ticks, unspecified. Use a more specific value (mite or tick) if known."

Unable to determine if the detected item is a mite or tick. Use a more specific value (mite or tick) if known.

Context:

These values are being added the Examined_Detected code table to capture existing data in Arctos, to accommodate ongoing research which will be populating these attributes going forward, and for TPT digitization and host linkage. The current attributes "ectoparasite examination" and "ectoparasite detected" will be migrated to these new attributes. Splitting from https://github.com/ArctosDB/arctos/issues/6260 .

Table:

https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctattribute_code_tables https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctexamined_detected

Priority:

High. Needed for TPT Arctos and MSB funding, and for upcoming presentation at American Society of Parasitology meetings July 13-15, 2023.

Available for Public View:

Yes

Project:

Add the issue to the Code Table Management Project.

Discussion:

Approval

All of the following must be checked before this may proceed.

The How-To Document should be followed. Pay particular attention to terminology (with emphasis on consistency) and documentation (with emphasis on functionality).

• [x] Code Table Administrator[1] - check and initial, comment, or thumbs-up to indicate that the request complies with the how-to documentation and has your approval
• [x] Code Table Administrator[2] - check and initial, comment, or thumbs-up to indicate that the request complies with the how-to documentation and has your approval
• [x] DBA - The request is functionally acceptable. The term is not a functional duplicate, and is compatible with existing data and code.
• [x] DBA - Appropriate code or handlers are in place as necessary. (ID_References, Media Relationships, Encumbrances, etc. require particular attention) Rejection If you believe this request should not proceed, explain why here. Suggest any changes that would make the change acceptable, alternate (usually existing) paths to the same goals, etc.

Can a suitable solution be found here? If not, proceed to (2) Can a suitable solution be found by Code Table Committee discussion? If not, proceed to (3) Take the discussion to a monthly Arctos Working Group meeting for final resolution. Implementation Once all of the Approval Checklist is appropriately checked and there are no Rejection comments, or in special circumstances by decree of the Arctos Working Group, the change may be made.

Review everything one last time. Ensure the How-To has been followed. Ensure all checks have been made by appropriate personnel.

Make changes as described above. Ensure the URL of this Issue is included in the definition.

Close this Issue.

DO NOT modify Arctos Authorities in any way before all points in this Issue have been fully addressed; data loss may result.

Special Exemptions In very specific cases and by prior approval of The Committee, the approval process may be skipped, and implementation requirements may be slightly altered. Please note here if you are proceeding under one of these use cases.

Adding an existing term to additional collection types may proceed immediately and without discussion, but doing so may also subject users to future cleanup efforts. If time allows, please review the term and definition as part of this step. The Committee may grant special access on particular tables to particular users. This should be exercised with great caution only after several smooth test cases, and generally limited to "taxonomy-like" data such as International Commission on Stratigraphy terminology.

[Jegelewicz]

Changed the code table to https://arctos.database.museum/info/ctDocumentation.cfm?table=ctexamined_detected

[Nicole-Ridgwell-NMMNHS]

Looks fine. Checked.

[Jegelewicz]

I was writing an update to the definition

Acari is an historical Arachnid subclass that includes mites and ticks. Use a more specific value (mite or tick) if known.

Do we actually need this? I mean does someone have data or are mite and tick enough? I'm unchecking until I feel like this option is required....

[campmlc]

Yes, we have data. It is very difficult for anyone not a trained specialist to tell larval ticks and adult mites apart. Most of the mite/ticks being cataloged right now are getting named as Acari, even though it is legacy in the sense that there are multiple groups that cannot be given a more phylogenetically correct name based on current taxonomy. Any you know what the state of current mite taxonomy is. This option is required: please proceed with this so I can finalize this version of the TPT project.

[campmlc]

Acari is used in identifications. Please coordinate fundamental changes with all users.

I'm with @Jegelewicz on this, I'd like to see data that's ready to use this, not anything theoretical or mired in some inappropriate place.

I will suggest that "mite or tick" is an appropriate way to say "mite or tick." Acari (as a taxon name) clearly implies some constantly-evolving circumscription, this (I thought) was meant to be something else, now I'm not sure.

[campmlc]

Here are data that have already been cataloged: https://arctos.database.museum/search.cfm?guid_prefix=MSB%3APara&customoidoper=LIST&taxon_name=acari But there are many more hidden in various collection object and part remarks fields.

If you want to replace "Acari" with "ectoparasite: mites or tick" or "mites/ticks" - that could work.
