Country-cell-table to be completed to prevent unjustified coordinate error reports #42

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
As the country-cell table does currently not cover islands, consistency
checks of country name vs. coordinates result in often unjustified error
messages in the resource's log messages. As a further consequence, the
concerned records are not included in the cell-density generation and
therefore are not visible on maps. This is most conspicuous in cases where
the dataset as a whole concerns an island or group of islands

(e.g. http://data.gbif.org/datasets/provider/17/).

To fix, the following is required:
- extend the country cell table; extend the script that generates the table;
- enforce full re-extraction of the resources concerned
- remove faulty error messages from the event logs
- re-generate cell densities for map layers (dataset, provider, country,
all taxa and higher taxa)
