Resolution for legacy backbone taxonomy IDs #1307

Open djtfmartin opened 6 months ago

djtfmartin commented 6 months ago

We need to support the resolution of legacy backbone taxonomy IDs for a yet to be determined amount of time (and perhaps indefinitely).

Hence this will enable resolution of URLs that have made it into external documentation

e.g. https://dwc.tdwg.org/terms/

we need to differ between portal URLs (www) and API resources. For the later it would make things simple if we can keep the current species API running on frozen content.

If we do index occurrences to both the backbone with the old integer ids and the new COL list I think the GBIF portal does need to show species pages with current content (maps, metrics, redlist, occ counts) for both, so we will keep resolving those pages. Something to discuss with @MortenHofft and @danielvdm2000 whether they want to adapt the old portal or got for the new one and in which repo we should discuss this best.
