Scientific Terms

To synchronize the entries with the module ScientificTerms choose Administration -> Database -> Maintenance from the menu. A window will open as shown below. On the tab page Synchonizing, you can synchronize the content in DiversityCollection with the linked resources or search for new links via text.

To synchonize the content for linked data select the database, the project, the table and the target for which the entries should be synchronized. There are 2 targets for the synchronization: The term itself and the hierarchy. There are 3 tables which may contain links to DiversityScientificTerms:  Vernacular terms, Site properties and Part descriptions).

To synchronize linked data start the query click on the Search for differences button. Terms with differing content will be listed as shown below.

To include the hierarchy in the comparision, check the Compare hierarchy option as well if the hierarchy derived from DiversityScientificTerms should be from the option Top-> Detail or Detail -> Top . As shown below 2 more columns will be included, containing the hierarchies in DiversityCollection and DiversityScientificTerms. 

To establish new connections for terms corresponding to terms in DiversityScientificTerms (see below) click on the Search for identical terms button. All matching terms will be listed.

As with the query for linked data, you may include the hierarchy. In addition there are two options to restrict the search: Restrict to terms like … and Restrict to max. results … . The option Include accession number will split the data according to the specimen as shown below. With this option set, you can inspect the content of single specimen in the list using the button (see below).

In the result list you can select the data that should be included in the update in the first column (OK ) by de/selection of single lines or with the buttons Select all resp. Select none. To update the database click on the Start update button.
