WSC (id 1029): test report

[yroskov]

2022-04-08 Hi Yuri, I will provide a new export around June 15 when we typically compile the WSC archive version. Thanks, Daniel

Attention!

Daniel, 2019-01-16

Just to give you a heads-up: the Genysa decorsei (Simon, 1902) homonymy case (IDs: 13379 and 13380) is still unresolved. I've marked one of the names with the "provisionally accepted name" Sp2000 name status.

Frequency of updates

Theo, 2024-04-19:

I think the best would be to make the updates twice a year, after the archive versions were created, see https://urldefense.com/v3/https://wsc.nmbe.ch/archive/;!!DZ3fjg!8Qnl672rdHlYhBTL_J0hy5z7e8LM8p3nw3mqk335y0WcnQeDFrvFTL3NTn9_f8ymRHD1hkiduDMMIteJ5cqZhpE$ - next after July 15.

Best wishes and thanks again Theo

@yroskov there is an API derived version which I create every week: https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/56185/imports

If suitable it would be great to include that every month as WSC is really active.

[yroskov]

@mdoering, have you contacted WSC? Have they tested your WSC view in CLB?

[mdoering]

no, I don't usually do that

[yroskov]

OK, lets talk tomorrow about WSC

[mdoering]

https://www.checklistbank.org/tools/dataset-comparison?dataset=1029&dataset2=56185&root=xB&root2=araneae

In addition families now have authorship

WSC statistics: https://wsc.nmbe.ch/statistics/

@yroskov the CLB WSC copy does contain slightly more accepted genera & species, but they are (mostly?) marked as provisionally accepted names. E.g. Archaeidae is listed with 93 accepted species, but the ColDP version has 93+1: https://www.checklistbank.org/dataset/56185/names?TAXON_ID=urn%3Alsid%3Anmbe.ch%3Aspiderfam%3A0020&facet=rank&facet=issue&facet=status&facet=nomStatus&facet=nomCode&facet=nameType&facet=field&facet=authorship&facet=authorshipYear&facet=extinct&facet=environment&facet=origin&facet=sectorMode&facet=secondarySourceGroup&facet=sectorDatasetKey&facet=group&limit=50&offset=0&rank=species&status=accepted&status=provisionally%20accepted

Austrarchaea hickmani (Butler, 1929) is prov. accepted with nom status = doubtful.

It is listed as nomen dubium in WSC.

We could make all such names "bare" names if that is better?
