GrSciColl mapping: Palaeontological collection, NHM, Oslo (O) UiO

[MortenHofft]

Dataset:Palaeontological collection, NHM, Oslo (O) UiO
Published by: University of Oslo (country: NO)
Records without a match: 202.056

Example record:

{
  "key": 3778304908,
  "datasetKey": "b2522b78-18ec-4ba6-ba16-9c9e215ce9e6",
  "datasetTitle": "Palaeontological collection, NHM, Oslo (O) UiO",
  "catalogNumber": "41493",
  "collectionCode": null,
  "collectionID": null,
  "institutionID": null,
  "datasetID": [],
  "institutionCode": null,
  "occurrenceID": "NHMO:PMO:41493"
}

Example lookup

GrSciColl

The institution look like it should be
institution : O
University of Oslo
That also fits with the occurrenceID prefix NHMO which is the alternative code.

I do not see any candidates for the collection which I assume have code PMO and there are no Palaeontological collections that I can find in grscicoll for norway oslo

@rukayaj would it be possible to add some institution and collection codes and identifiers to this dataset? https://www.gbif.org/dataset/b2522b78-18ec-4ba6-ba16-9c9e215ce9e6, this way it could be linked to its corresponding GRSciColl entry(ies).

Looking at UiO records for specimens more broadly I see this flags

Institution match none
1,691

Collection match none
194,404

Institution match fuzzy
418,960

Collection match fuzzy
595,185

Institution collection mismatch
1,467,610

Thanks for picking this up! I'll have a look when I'm back from Tajikistan, the week after next.

[dagendresen]

The "O" is the code for only the herbarium at the University of Oslo -- and should be **deleted** as the institution code for UiO in GRSciColl!! The "code" for the institution University of Oslo would rather more appropriate be "UiO".

For historical reasons, I suggest maybe including as alternative codes (?) the code O for the herbarium/Botanical Museum in Oslo, the code ZMO for the Zoological Museum in Oslo, and the code PMO for the Paleontological Museum in Oslo <-- since long ago rather a part of the Geological Museum in Oslo.

Hi @dagendresen you can delete the institution code (or put is as alternative code) but in order to do so, you must first disconnect the entry from Index Herbariorum. Go to the "Master source" tab of the institution page in the registry and delete the master source:

[rukayaj]

So perhaps we should delete https://www.gbif.org/grscicoll/institution/390f06b3-a81e-41b9-972e-e790e0edfe04 and keep https://www.gbif.org/grscicoll/institution/a9ab29d6-f380-4193-967f-15a64abc09e7 . Thoughts @dagendresen ?

[ManonGros]

@rukayaj @dagendresen or merge them?

[rukayaj]

@ManonGros ah yes i'd forgotten about that. I've merged them now 👍

I removed the master source first because I suppose that's going to just re-create it otherwise. It was this, for the records:
Index Herbariorum
IH_IRN : 124083

[rukayaj]

In addition to the institutionID that Dag added, we now have collectionCode, collectionID and institutionCode as well - see e.g. https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/3778286403

[ManonGros]

Thanks @rukayaj, when the GRSciColl cache is refreshed (in a few days), we will reinterpret the data and this should tidy the linking.

[ManonGros]

@rukayaj @dagendresen it looks like the collectionID, institutionCode and collectionCode were only added for the first 100,000 occurrences (that's how it looks like in the archive).
It looks like it might not be intentional. Could you take a look? Thanks!

In addition to that, it would be great if you could use 5c058644-6da2-47ea-ba73-7544ad8b05aa as collectionID instead of https://www.gbif.org/grscicoll/collection/5c058644-6da2-47ea-ba73-7544ad8b05aa.

[rukayaj]

Oh!!! I know why, I'll fix it now.
