Data Cleaner - Identification Difficulty Module¶
This module replicates the functionality of the NBN Record Cleaner IdentificationDifficulty rule type. This rule type flags species that are not trivial to identify with a rating from 1 to 5 and the rule also identifies the message for each of those ratings. For some taxonomic groups, for example, a level’s might suggest that a specimen is required but this may not be appropriate for other groups. A single rule can configure the identification difficulty for a list of taxa. For correct configuration in the warehouse, create a new verification rule with the following settings:
Title and Description set as required.
Test Type = IdentificationDifficulty
Error Message = …
Other Data =
[Data] list of external keys (e.g. taxon version keys), one per line. Each key is followed by an = then the message ID (a number from one to five) [Taxa] list of preferred taxon names as an alternative to the Data section. Each key is followed by an = then the message ID (a number from one to five) [Ini] 1=*message for difficulty rating 1* 2=*message for difficulty rating 2* 3=*message for difficulty rating 3* 4=*message for difficulty rating 4* 5=*message for difficulty rating 5*
So, a rule’s Other Data section will contain a Data section and an Ini section, or a Taxa section and an Ini section, depending on whether the taxa are being listed by external key or preferred name.
