Create suggestions with lat+lon based on geocoding #528
Comments
Regarding suggestion https://registry.gbif.org/institution/adef94b3-a220-439d-b9c4-e0aa6cb191ad?suggestionId=999 I have edited the record to update with the correct address and coordinates. |
Thank you Dag for reporting this issue and for updating the record! I am not sure what happened, I can see that the suggestion was discarded. |
I've applied a few suggestions(update) created for Japanese institutions. Seems working. |
@MortenHofft, to avoid this type of issues (#530) maybe we shouldn't have the auto suggestions for entry that have external master sources? |
As discussed I thing that is a good idea and it was removed last week when I remembered that external sources weren't just Index Herbariorum (which was the only check I did at the time) |
Thanks! sounds good |
I just reviewed the Australian Antarctic Division suggestion in the registry |
Thanks @elywallis - the suggestions is based on Googles geocoder, but how the address is formatted matters quite a lot for the result you get back. Sometimes searching for the title of the institution gives better results than searching for the address. Other times the reverse. Sometimes a combination is best. Other times, you need title and country. |
We have a lot of institutions without coordinates, but with an address.
using a geocoding service we can suggest latitude longitude automatically.
@ManonGros and I have agreed to give it a try on a small sample to see how well it works - both the results and the workflow of using suggestions to do this.
