incorrect repository (Museum für Naturkunde: BHUPM instead of MfN)

[klausriede]

vs

MfN according to http://orthoptera.speciesfile.org/Common/specimen/ShowSpecimen.aspx?SpecimenID=42654

[typophyllum]

This is indeed incorrect, BHUPM is the Herbarium Code of the MfN.

The correct one would be ZMB, but this acronym is obsolete and has been replaced by MfN.

Can the data is the species files be corrected accordingly?

[klausriede]

Note that there are more incorrect ones see O humilicrus plus there is a DORSA pic for this species, albeit missing in old OSF too https://www.europeana.eu/de/item/11622/ORTHOPTERAXDORSAXMFNXGERMANYXZMBXORTHXBAORTHUMS01

[typophyllum]

All 3749 specimens in the MfN have the incorrect herbarium acronym (below numbers according to old OSF).

@LocoDelAssembly Would it be possible to run a script that replaces Museum für Naturkunde (BHUPM) by Museum für Naturkunde (MfN) for all of them?

[LocoDelAssembly]

Yes, we can do that.

[klausriede]

Why is there a herbarium in the OSF list of depositaries?

[LocoDelAssembly]

@klausriede Repositories are shared across all projects inside a TW instance (there is no project_id attribute). https://docs.taxonworks.org/develop/Data/tables.html#repositories

[klausriede]

suggestion: inlcude a project_id attribute and run some commonsense checkup queries

In repositories table? Why?

[klausriede]

to avoid that herbaria acronyms appear in zoology speciesfiles...

[LocoDelAssembly]

Repositories table is supposed to be a registry of collection institutions like https://www.gbif.org/grscicoll, and it is not meant to be project-specific. Correct action is to move all BHUPM specimens to MfN and not use incorrect repository on future data entry.

[LocoDelAssembly]

BHUPM changed to MfN for all COs in OSF.

Thanks. I just replaced u by ü at Museum für Naturkunde.
