EUNIS datasource outdated (updated exactly 10 years ago)

[abubelinha]

Regarding the example in #80, the mentioned EUNIS datasource results are very outdated.

In the example provided, verifier shows both "currentRecordid" & "recordId="144750512", which does not match the taxon id 316085 shown in the EUNIS url ... where Isoetes longissimum is reported as a synonym of I. longissima

Is it possible to update that datasource? I think there is a pretty recent version in COL CheckListBank (already contains the above example reported as a synonym, and shows the same id as EUNIS).

This datasource is pretty interesting for European regional checklists.

Thanks a lot in advance !!

Looks like they do have a dump, at least in RDF from 2020, so I can use it to update EUNIS. I do have to deal with other things for a few months though. Usually I reserve time in December/January, May/June for data updates

It's a shame I didn't realize before #62
I'll put it in my wishlist for May ;)

Do they have DwCA file at GBIF? if yes, I can stick it in fast

[abubelinha]

Actually they do, but it might be the same old version:
https://www.gbif.org/dataset/1bd42c2b-b58a-4a01-816b-bec8c8977927
Publication date January 1, 2010

Perhaps you get it from there too, 2 years later?
It doesn't seem to have synonyms links between taxon ids.

I actually discovered it here at gnames, and then searched for it at COL to pass you the links.
Why don't you use the download options at COL? (I think one of them is DwCA)

[dimus]

ah ok, yes, with all probability it is the same file that I used. OK, i'll add EUNIS it to the queue for May

[abubelinha]

It's up to you. But I am curious about the reason to not using COL EUNIS-DwCA download file.

Looks like it contains the aforementioned synonyms (extract of Taxon.tsv core data file):

acceptedNameUsageID	scientificNameID	taxonomicStatus	taxonRank	scientificName
	194389	accepted	species	Isoetes longissima Bory
194389	316085	synonym	species	Isoetes longissimum Bory

Is this COL-DwCA format not gnames-suitable for any particular reason, compared to the one in GBIF? (missing important dwca-extension or whatever).
If so I would like to know ... as I might end up needing to use COL dwca downloads myself for matching gnames resolver taxon ids (#85)

EDIT: maybe with "if yes, I can stick it in fast" you meant you can use COL file, but fast=May (I assumed fast=before May)

[abubelinha]

ah ok, yes, with all probability it is the same file that I used. OK, i'll add EUNIS it to the queue for May

Just wondering ... was this forgotten, or is there any problem with the DwCA file?
Thanks

Thanks for reminding about this one @abubelinha, I did forget about it. I will get back to it sometime in the second half of September.
