Description
- What is language(s) for used in the example?
- Python (I think)
- Is it focused on a particular module/software or an IOOS data service?
- No (maybe it could be built into a package?)
- Can you provide a minimum example of the expected code and results in a notebook?
- See this gist
Please provide a detailed description of the suggested example below:
- A requirement for OBIS is that all scientific names match to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and a scientificNameID is included. A scientificNameID looks like this urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:275730 with the last digits after the colon being the WoRMS aphia ID. In some cases, data providers need to go out to WoRMS to grab this information (or verify its correctness).In other cases a user might want to capture an
lsidfrom another service, like ITIS. In the example linked above, it takes a data file and matches a column of taxanomic names to data sources using the Global Names Resolver. http://resolver.globalnames.org/api
