Standards for information in region field #12

Open LienReyserhove opened 5 years ago

LienReyserhove commented 5 years ago

Regional information is contained in the fields re_region_country and re_region_coast, with a reference to the following standards in the fields re_system_country and re_system_coast:

I found an overview of all recommended standards on GBIF. The TDWG and IHO standards are known by GBIF, so I can use these to map the data. However:

  1. What is the meaning of the numbers in IHO? (versions 2, 3 and 4? I only found version 2 and 3)
  2. I could not find a DIHO standard
  3. I suppose the DAISIE system is not really a standard?
  4. All country information is written in full names. So I suppose I have to map them to the abbreviations myself.

  1. I can't answer. This has been lost in the mists of time
  2. this is likely to be a DAISIE modification to the IHO
  3. no
  4. we can extract the region codes. I think you asked for the full name though?

  1. Oh, I think I misinterpreted these region codes. Would it still be possible to integrate the regionid's? Sorry for that :-/
