Open StephRorke opened 2 years ago
The hierarchy is now alphabetical.
@StephRorke we need to think a bit about the exact requirements here.
@DavidRoy it would be good to have your input here, my feeling at present is that all the above related to group informal names is probably more time than we would want to spend at this point. Now there is an option to export to csv this will make the input task of checking easier and these filtering options would be aimed more at the end user and could probably wait until later in the project. I think it would be useful to allow ourselves the flexibility to add this feature in the future, @johnvanbreda I can't access the taxonomy page linked above, would the informal group need to be supplied once per taxon entry in an overall hierarchy or is it on a per species basis, thinking in terms of whether it needs to be added to the input template or not. I also think it would be worth adding fields to hold environment categories and populate these as we go so we have the flexibility further down the line as it wouldn't be an onerous task at this stage whilst gathering data.
@johnvanbreda I'm not sure I understand point 5 - tool v. browser - I think the download option as it is at the moment is fine, but imagine that we would want to add a download feature to the browser aimed at the end user later in the project.
@StephRorke I've given you rights to view the taxonomy pages for the Catalogue of Life hierarchy so you can see what I mean - the informal names just need to be applied to the "node" in the hierarchy, e.g. Segmented Worms only needs to be specified once for the Annelid term and the taxa within that branch should be able to pick up the name.
Point 5 was meant as you seem to have worked out - the question being about whether the species browser needs it's own separate tool for downloads.
I'll leave this for now then.
