Namespaces (SF IMPORT DUPLICATE) cases #21

Closed mabecabrera closed 10 months ago

mabecabrera commented 1 year ago

As some of the Namespaces where already in Taxon Works from another projects, when the migration occured those that matched with the ones in TW where marked with a (SF IMPORT DUPLICATE) legend.

These are just 29 cases and can be filtered by this legend also part of the name.

So the task will be to go to each one and check if it is correct to merge it with the one that is previously in TW.

After confiming that, @LocoDelAssembly could merge them all with a script.

The list of duplicates can be seen here.

There is an extra column to paste the URL of the existing valid namespace to use as substitution. When filling that out, it must be carefully checked that the substitution truly represents the original imported namespace, just checking acronym isn't enough.

Forgot to mention: This never happened with Sandcastle because imports where made on top of "empty" databases, this time collisions where expected and the script solved them by creating these duplicates.

For OSU fix is discussed in https://github.com/sfg-taxonpages/orthoptera/issues/26

What do we do when the short name is the same as one already in TW, but is a different collection and institution?

Examples (the correct in OSF) UAIC (Centre ORSTOM, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire) ... but in OSF there is no short name associated. OSU (K. C. Emerson Museum, Oklahoma State University) US (Entomological Collection, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa)

Create a second namespace. The Short name has to be different (it is used to select from a list), the verbatim name is duplicate.

Single repositories can have many namespaces. Namespaces are not the same thing as repositories, though their short names often overlap, and some consider them 1:1 (we do not).

I'm frequently coming across species that have (SF IMPORT DUPLICATE) with the type data. Doesn't look very professional. Could this perhaps finally be fixed?
