A template for ChecklistBank dataset repositories using the combined ColDP format.
The template uses the combined NameUsage file and BibTex for references.
Not all ColDP entities have been included in the template, just the frequently used ones.
BibTex content can be retrieved from CrossRef for most DOIs when known. For example by using curl on the terminal like this:
curl --location --silent --header "Accept: application/x-bibtex" https://doi.org/10.1080/11035890601282097 @article{Eriksson_2006, doi = {10.1080/11035890601282097}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1080%2F11035890601282097}, year = 2006, month = {jun}, publisher = {Informa {UK} Limited}, volume = {128}, number = {2}, pages = {97--101}, author = {Mats E. Eriksson}, title = {Polychaete jaw apparatuses and scolecodonts from the Silurian Ireviken Event interval of Gotland, Sweden}, journal = {{GFF}} }
There are also online editors, e.g. https://truben.no/latex/bibtex/#
Information about the dataset as a whole and how to cite it is kept in metadata.yaml.
Once the dataset is created in ChecklistBank (CLB), Github webhooks can be used to automatically update the copy in ChecklistBank whenever a commit to the repository happens. Configure:
a) the dataset access URL in CLB to point to the github repo zip archive, e.g. https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/data-vespoidea/archive/refs/heads/master.zip b) the github repo webhook in settings to point to http://api.checklistbank.org/importer/{DATASET_KEY}/github c) configure github to use a secret that the CLB admin hands over to you confidently. Please contact mdoering@gbif.org for this!
You can configure a git ore commit hook to automatically update the issued date of your metadata.yaml.
For this to work simply place the pre-commit.hook file into your .git/hooks folder.
