[TTU Mammals 84773] Artibeus obscurus - Higher geography field has semicolons #10

Closed rdmpage closed 9 years ago

The HigherGeography field has semicolons, I'm guessing semicolons are the field delimited in the database used to generate the file ingested by VertNet, and they aren't properly removed when creating the data export.

The VertNet migrator (https://github.com/VertNet/toolkit) for the TTU data set was updated to version 2015-01-27. This version constructs the higherGeography field with the ' | ' separator following the change in recommendations for Darwin Core Decision-2014-10-30_16 (http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/history/decisions/index.htm).
