Add number of occurrences to dataset info #3

Closed peterdesmet closed 11 years ago

peterdesmet commented 11 years ago

To assess the scope of some licenses used, it is useful to also have the number of occurrence records per dataset. This information is not provided in the metadata, but can be looked up using the datasetKey:

http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/occurrence/count?datasetKey=bd2feca8-ec39-4480-9dad-e353ab6a506d

It could be added to licenses.csv as numberOfOccurrences.

This could be done in a conditional way, as only datasets of the type: "OCCURRENCE" should return results.

As discussed: numberOfOccurrences can be added to datasets.csv. Shall I also add numberOfDatasets to licenses.csv?

peterdesmet commented 11 years ago

I wouldn't do this, as we want nothing to update in licenses.csv, only add.

bartaelterman commented 11 years ago

Woops, didn't see your response. I already updated licenses.csv as stated in #2 I can revert this if you prefer. Still need to add numberOfOccurrences to dataset.csv

bartaelterman commented 11 years ago

Can we close this issue?

peterdesmet commented 11 years ago

Yes.
