Multiple numeric identifiers for same concept

[shash42]

In the sqlite database that is obtained after the CLICS install, what seems to be the same concept (parameter) is represented multiple times with different numeric identifiers. For example, consider the types for Friday:
478_friday
993_friday
218_friday
350_friday

Is there a reason that such a distinction is made? What leads to the classification? Or is it safe to collapse these multiple parameters into a single concept? Some documentation would really help this in regard, especially to weed out potential mistakes in future research using CLICS3.

This is not unexpected, since CLICS3 is based on different datasets coded in CLDF, with their own internal IDs. What unifies them is the column "Concepticon_ID" and "Concepticon_Gloss":

sqlite> select ID, Name, Concepticon_ID, Concepticon_Gloss from ParameterTable where ID like "%_friday";
350_friday|Friday|1692|FRIDAY
478_friday|Friday|1692|FRIDAY
993_friday|Friday|1692|FRIDAY
218_friday||1692|FRIDAY

The network approach in CLICS makes use of the Concepticon_ID where present, so there is no error.

As to documentation: this is handled in our documentation for the CLDF format in general, and you find documentation and additional information at the CLDF website at https://cldf.clld.org, with further links, and we also regularly discuss certain aspects of CLDF in our blog at https://calc.hypotheses.org.

@xrotwang, as I consider this an issue that is sufficiently discussed in all CLDF-accompanying resources, I'd suggest to close this issue?

Thank you so much for the prompt response and detailed resources!

Thanks for explaining this, @LinguList. @shash42 feel free to ask more questions if you need additional help/guidance.
