The above changes have been made in pending CTDL and noted in the history tracking. I'm about 90% sure I got everything (this update is enormous when you expand it all out into the individual changes to be made), so getting other sets of eyes on it is going to be really important.

jeannekitchens commented 9 months ago

@siuc-nate excellent. We'll need to do a walk through in pending to be sure all of the updates were made. Thanks for getting this done!

philbarker commented 9 months ago

First pass through just the classes found mostly trivial errors and the ISCED Level changes (assuming these are agreed).

siuc-nate commented 9 months ago

There is a character encoding problem near end of defintion of ceterms:PostMasterCertificate : "... master�s degree ... doctor�s degree"

Smart quotes/fancy apostrophes/etc strike again.

Good catches Phil, thanks for going through all of that. I'll remove the UNESCO stuff once that's finalized.

It also looks like some of the dct:descriptions might not have made it into the history tracking - I'm looking into it.

siuc-nate commented 9 months ago

Looks like there was a bug in the script I used to help generate the change tracking data for this release that swapped vann:usageNote and dct:description around. I have corrected it in the history tracking. The schema data is tracked separately, so it wouldn't've been affected.
