Additionally, the release contains improvements to the trait dictionary:
- Revised trait definitions related to fire response, following trait definitions workshop
- Trait definitions file synchronised to the first release of the AusTraits Plant Dictionary. Most importantly, uri's added to each trait definition; these are the resolvable w3id.org/APD identifiers
Fixes to taxonomic_updates and taxon_list:
- Ensure (once again) that as many taxon names as possible align to an APC-known or APC-accepted name
- Continue working to remove duplicate entries that creep into taxon_list.csv
Minor work on the R workflow:
- Update syntax to dplyr 1.10
- Update tests to pass testthat 3.1.8
- Edit metadata_create_template to add proper fields for data_collectors
- Make it possible to add
entity_typeandvalue_typefrom columns by disallowing values from schema
