Absence records should be displayed more clearly #1208

Closed MattBlissett closed 4 years ago

"Elanus caeruleus (Desfontaines, 1789) observed in Norway"

| individual count  | 0      |
| occurrence status | absent |

Perhaps the subtitle needs rewording to "absence recorded" or similar.

I believe the plan still is to remove it from the index completely. And if I understood correctly to do so very soon

MortenHofft commented 6 years ago

Should be better now - but of course we could do much more throughout the site. But there are other issues for that https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1657415136

There can be conflicting information on the record. e.g.

| individual count  | 0      |
| occurrence status | present |
| individual count  | 10      |
| occurrence status | absent |

what should we do in those situations? It is a data issue and a question of how many cases there is like that. I'm labelling it for data product

MattBlissett commented 6 years ago

That's probably something that should be intepreted, and be given an issue.

This will now be handled in https://github.com/gbif/pipelines/issues/268
