what should we do when we dont know how to link something #182

Closed bradfordcondon closed 5 years ago

bradfordcondon commented 5 years ago

Need to either insert but not link, or not insert

either way, formatter needs to alert user that record will (or will not) be inserted but not linked

relevant cases: project and organism

issues

Project -> organism
Biosample ->analysis
analysis -> biosample

probably dupe with #61

project -> organism: resolved by ensuring biomaterials import organism even if its a secondary record. organism is therefore linked to project via biomaterials.

analysis/biosample: to do: link the project and biomaterial.

we now have a section in the docs that explains our philosophy: https://tripal-eutils.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ncbi_mapping.html#problematic-links

in general we should be able to link indirectly--- in the case of analysis->biosample, we can link via project instead.
