Create value choice menus for each term in register #58

Closed timadriaens closed 8 years ago

timadriaens commented 8 years ago

we need to provide all potential values for the terms in light of future updates, and describe those here

timadriaens commented 8 years ago

Habitats:

marine estuarine terrestrial freshwater

hope you guys can assist in doing this in a non-manual fashion...

stijnvanhoey commented 8 years ago

@timadriaens, I'm assuming that the sequence is not important, so marine | estuarine is the same as estuarine | marine?

So I would end up with these combination:

marine estuarine terrestrial freshwater marine | estuarine marine | terrestrial marine | freshwater estuarine | terrestrial estuarine | freshwater terrestrial | freshwater marine | estuarine | terrestrial marine | estuarine | freshwater marine | terrestrial | freshwater estuarine | terrestrial | freshwater marine | estuarine | terrestrial | freshwater

would that be as requested?

I'll make a new folder with a small script to do this and add for each requested set of values (combinations) a file in the same folder.

Where would these values lists be used?

I would argue we need to normalize the data first (e.g. splitting habitat information in several rows). This is also done in a Darwin Core Archive. We can then just use the controlled vocabulary, rather than providing every permutation of combinations.
