It creates a key to identify the physical and digital duplicates of a given collection event. It combines the last name of primary collector with the collector number and the botanical family (family + recordByStandardized + recordNumber_Standard) that groups the duplicates of the same unique collection event. It also identifies new collectors to be added to the collector dictionary and that can be reused in the future.
Include recordedByStandardized field with verified last name of the primary collector.
Include recordNumber_Standard field with only numbers from recordNumber.
Create the collection event key to group duplicates in the key_family_recordedBy_recordNumber field
following the fields:
family + recordedByStandardized + recordNumber_Standard.
Value
A list with duration and 3 data.table: "occ_collectorsDictionary" for update result fields only, "summary" for summary and "CollectorsDictionary_add" for new collectors that can be added to the collector dictionary that can be reused in the future.
Details
Fields created for each incident record:
nameRecordedBy_Standard
recordNumber_Standard
key_family_recordedBy_recordNumber
key_year_recordedBy_recordNumber
#' A critical step in parsing duplicate records involves generating a robust key for each unique collecting event (i.e., gathering) to facilitate duplicate recognition. To achieve this, a string is created by concatenating the taxon family, the last name of the primary collector, and the collection number.
