Reconciling OMIA and VBO dog breed names

[katiermullen]

While building the dog breed branch of VBO, several breeds were noted to have OMIA has the sole source of breed name. @franknic has reviewed those concepts.

He has made comments on which concepts should be merged and which terms are candidates for obsoletion due to "domain entity does not exist."

See google sheet for detailed descriptions.

Further information on Kelpie-related breeds from @franknic is here:

Kelpie breeds in VBO (Based on information obtained from Professor Claire Wade)

In essence, there are two breeds, both of which are recognised in more than one country:

1. Australian Kelpie

2. Working Kelpie

Australian Kelpie	https://dogsaustralia.org.au/members/breeds/breed-standards/Australian-Kelpie	Dogs Australia is the new name for Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC)

Working Kelpie	http://www.wkc.org.au/	This is a distinct breed, based on performance rather than show type. On its website, the Working Kelpie Council of Australia (WKC) describes itself as the “Breed Society for the Australian Working Kelpie”. So, a definite synonym is Australian Working Kelpie.

The reality is that the word “Kelpie” is used in practice as a synonym for both of the above breeds. We are aware that it may not be possible to have the same synonym for more than one breed in VBO.

How to translate the existing five VBO Kelpie entries to reflect the above reality?

		Synonyms
Australian Kelpie (Dog)VBO:0200090	Retain	Kelpie
Working Kelpie (Dog)VBO:0201434	Retain	Kelpie|Australian Working Kelpie
Kelpie (Dog)VBO:0200760	Obsolete
Australian Working Kelpie (Dog)VBO:0200099	Obsolete
Kelpie, Australia (Dog)VBO:0007998	Change to “Australian Kelpie, Australia”OR Obsolete, because to be consistent, we would have to add other breed-country entries for Australian Kelpie (Dog)VBO:0200090 and for Working Kelpie (Dog)VBO:0201434

@franknic Thank you for the Kelpie information.

One question - for the DAD-IS national breed:

Kelpie, Australia (Dog), VBO:0007998, a synonym listed on DAD-IS is Australian Working Kelpie.

Does this mean that the national breed should actually be called "Working Kelpie, Australia (Dog)", VBO:0007998? (i.e. does the DAD-IS breed refer to the working kelpie?)

[franknic]

Thank you very much, Katie, for uploading all this information. As you can see, it is not straightforward! The DADIS entry, in effect, says that there is just one population of Kelpies in Australia, with most-common-name = Kelpie and Other-name/synonym = Australian Working Kelpie. Unfortunately, this does not correspond to reality. There are actually two populations of Kelpies in Australia, the official names (recognised internationally) being Australian Kelpie (VBO:0200090) and Working Kelpie (VBO:0201434). The word "Kelpie" is used as a synonym for both of these populations; the words "Australian Working Kelpie" are used as a synonym for the second of these two populations, i.e. as a synonym for Working Kelpie (VBO:0201434). If we wish to have Kelpie dogs represented at the national level for Australia, we need to create two Australian national entries, namely Australian Kelpie, Australia AND Working Kelpie, Australia. The sources for these two entries would be the Australian websites mentioned above. If feasible, the existing VBO national entry Kelpie, Australia (Dog)VBO:0007998 could be changed to one of the two options immediately above. If this is not possible, this entry should be obsoleted. I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions, I shall do my best to answer them.

For the moment, we will leave the DADIS-origin breed as is.

@franknic and @ImkeTammen will confer with experts regarding the decision of whether or not the DADIS breed should be split into "Australian Kelpie, Australia" and "Working Kelpie, Australia".

@franknic Please use this updated dog breed spreadsheet to reconcile OMIA and VBO IDs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t23p7TKd-fmL7mmnwVlPncnG4xiqysABRcBsjoaNA84/edit#gid=0

You will find the OMIA ID's in column "CN".

Please let me know if you have questions or comments!

Thank you very much, Katie It's all now done.
