Batch merge confirmable duplicates from HOST related import #16

Open mjy opened 4 years ago

mjy commented 4 years ago

We need to come up with a checklist. If all steps in the checklist are true, then it is OK to merge the "names".

Checklist

[ ] The name is a homonym with parent name string matching another parent name string
[ ] The name has author matching target author, if present
[ ] The name has year matching target year, if present
[ ] The name has UCD specific attributes
- [ ] A HOST identifier, not a TaxonNameID identifier

... others

Merge steps

[ ] Identify the set of names to be merged
[ ] Ensure no child names exist for the target to be merged
[ ] Identify valid taxon name id, and invalid names
[ ] Rename all OTUs to the valid taxon name
[ ] Move HOST identifiers from "invalid" taxon names to valid taxon names (or, should these be moved to the OTU?!)
[ ] ...
[ ] Destroy duplicate name
