Search specimens/OTUs based on characterinstances #90

Closed aazaff closed 1 year ago

aazaff commented 1 year ago
  1. We need a new route in the query list (?) or maybe just goes under existing Specimen/OTU
  2. Need to be able to select a schema, which will then give options for valid characters and states
  3. Need to perform a SELECT on OTUs and/or Specimens that have characterInstances of selected characters and states from step 2.

As described, the user will be able to search for Specimens/OTUs by State (there would be a Character select, but it really only serves to get the right States for the State select. Once the user selects a State, we can run with just that pbotID).

Do we also want them to be able to search by Character alone?

NoisyFlowers commented 1 year ago

For now, I'm implementing a solution that allows the user to search by Schema, or Character, or State.

NoisyFlowers commented 1 year ago

OTUs do not have their own Descriptions. We can grab either the Description of the holotype Specimen, or a merged Description of all example Specimens.

We have to decide whether we want to limit the search to one or the other internally or present the option to the user (via radio button or checkbox).

We are going to clarify the Specimens section of the OTU form with three new types of specimens

  1. Identified Specimens: Literally any specimen that someone claims to be this OTU
  2. Type Specimens: The set of specimens used to DEFINE the OTU (a subset of identified specimens)
  3. Holotype Specimen: The singular BEST specimen (a subset of Type specimens)

When it comes time to search for OTUs, we will define that search based on the merged description of all specimens in the TYPE SPECIMENS category.

OTU search is on the merged description of the old Example Specimens.

Reconfiguration of Specimens in OTUs into Identified/Type/Holotype has not yet been implemented. When it is, OTU search will use the merged Type Specimens description.

The change to Identified/Type/Holotype Specimens is in:
