Review Country Names #86

Open cjhendrix opened 9 years ago

cjhendrix commented 9 years ago

There are some odd country names that came from the m49 list which don't follow the convention of being all caps. I have noticed this with

We manually cleaned these up when we populated the country listin CKAN, but now that we are pulling information from the CPS API, we need to straighten it out in CPS. I'd suggest the following:

  1. make sure the country name indicator is not being imported from the baseline zip. It was at one time, but since we consider this an attribute, it doesn't need to be. I also think the indicator values for country name do not affect the CPS country entities, but I just want to be sure that the import doesn't undo the next step below. Note: Godfrey and I have checked this and it is ok. Ready for the next step
  2. review all the country entities, correcting everything to all caps (easiest) or, if you prefer, proper case (harder).

If you need support on the dev side for any of this (maybe a database patch to load an edited list of country entities), let's discuss.

When this is done, please assign an issue to Dan to refresh the CPS and CKAN caches (otherwise the changes won't appear) for a day.

Made country entities ALL CAPS.

Thanks Godfrey. I have confirmed that the caches will be invalidated when we deploy, so the all caps country names should be visible. I will test this as soon as the deployment is complete and then close this issue.
