Institution/Collection drop down #594

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The institution and collection drop down does not use generic collectory 
associations to group them together.  It relies on a naming relationship 
between the collection and institution. 

For example
"Museum Victoria Entomology Collection" is associated with the Museum Victoria 
institution based on a prefix. 

I am assuming that the custom code was written with OZCAM in mind.

I am not sure that we have all the WS's that we need from the collectory to 
support this.   The collections listing does not supply the corresponding 
institution:
http://collections.ala.org.au/ws/collection.json

Neither does the complete institution listing:
http://collections.ala.org.au/ws/institution.json

But it is available in the individual institution lookup:
http://collections.ala.org.au/ws/institution/in6
