This has been extensively discussed and revised, the summary issue has been quiescent for more than two weeks, work will begin on 2022-06-01. Minor adjustments requested in the Arctos repository may be accommodated until then. (Please see also https://github.com/ArctosDB/internal/issues/258 - comments should NOT be left here, but rather in the source Issue(s).)
All other development work will be paused until this is completed. Anything that must be addressed before ~August should be immediately brought to the attention of the Arctos Working Group.
https://github.com/ArctosDB/arctos/issues/6171: bulkloader will be completely rebuilt with all new column names. I will provide old-form CSV and migrate anything that's left in the bulkloader using some formula that I'll specify once some things have solidified.
Near everything in the bulkloader will change, the UI will match. Identification UI will accommodate new structure. Catalog record UI will begin to anticipate more-complex identifications. Locality attributes will become more-central.
Data Structure Changes
Identification, locality, and bulkloader will change as above.
