Here is a file to edit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BMSJ5-hd0b8MXx-p-rQe9CIbQEa9dZHC/view?usp=sharing

It contains:

the list of existing concepts
a list of the values already mapped to the concepts (they are all in the Hidden sheet/tab for now)
the GBIF verbatim values for this field that appear more than 10,000 times or in 5 or more datasets

Pease check instructions here: https://github.com/gbif/vocabulary/issues/70

I think I have finished this vocabulary. @timrobertson100 and perhaps @MattBlissett, could you take a look and let me know if this seems ok to you?

MattBlissett commented 3 years ago

This looks like a vocabulary for GBIF Region (a classification for GBIF's use in organizing activities) rather than continent (seven-continent geographical definition, including several countries like RU, KZ, TR with land on two continents).

The concept label_en for EUROPE and SOUTH AMERICA should be Europe and South America.

Central America and the Caribbean are part of the North American continent by all definitions I'm aware of.

@Matthew Blissett @.***> Are you sure you don't mean that Central America and the Caribbean are part of North America? I have never seen the grouping you suggest.

Central America and the Caribbean are part of the South American continent.

Yes, thanks, I mean Central America and the Caribbean are part of North America. (Comment above edited.)

The vocabulary spreadsheet as it is at the moment has them as part of "South America / Latin America and the Caribbean".

ManonGros commented 3 years ago

Thanks for checking! you are right, I used the GBIF regions because I didn't think. I will correct that.

ManonGros commented 3 years ago

Ok I updated the names and the mapping. Could I ask you to check again? Thanks!

MattBlissett commented 3 years ago

NA could be North America, but could also be "Not applicable" (or Namibia), is that why you excluded that one?

It seems fine now, thanks.

ManonGros commented 3 years ago

yes it is why I excluded it. I thought it was too ambiguous.

tucotuco commented 3 years ago

Good choice.

I've changed:

Label_en of Antarctica was misspelt.
Removed South & Central America, Central America is part of the North American continent
Removed the oceans and seas which aren't part of the continents.

It's now ready to import.

CecSve commented 1 year ago

Thank you! I will import it to the server.
