Download and parsing request #8099

When you have a minute could you provide an identifier parsed file of these data? Minimally need AMNH catalog number, collection, preparator, and NK number columns. (https://arctos.database.museum/search.cfm?guid_prefix=MSB%3AMamm&customoidoper=LIST&country=Bolivia)

Thanks, Jon

Hi Jon, took a closer look at this request-- it's confusing since most do not have AMNH identifiers, many have more than one preparator number and few have issuedby agent to filter on. The NK as a local identifier is not a problem but not sure what you want to do when there is more than one too. Some have the AMNH number as a "same individiual as" and not an identifier. (For example: https://arctos.database.museum/guid/MSB:Mamm:210451 has AMNH numbers scattered around)

Which should be ignored or used or ? I realize you may have immediate needs for this data so some input would be helpful so a SQL can be developed, but I think a strategy meeting to cleanup and develop a collection protocol for your data might be worthwhile for future requests. Let me know what you think of the latter (can be over email instead of here)
