Clean Biological Occurrence Records
Clean using the following use cases (checkmarks indicate fxns exist - not necessarily complete):
- Impossible lat/long values: e.g., latitude 75
- Incomplete cases: one or the other of lat/long missing
- Unlikely lat/long values: e.g., points at 0,0
- Deduplication: try to identify duplicates, esp. when pulling data from multiple sources, e.g., can try to use occurrence IDs, if provided
- Date based cleaning
- Outside political boundary: User input to check for points in the wrong country, or points outside of a known country
- Taxonomic name based cleaning: via
taxize
(one method so far) - Political centroids: unlikely that occurrences fall exactly on these points, more likely a default position (Draft function started, but not exported, and commented out). see issue #6
- Herbaria/Museums: many specimens may have location of the collection they are housed in, see issue #20
- Habitat type filtering: e.g., fish should not be on land; marine fish should not be in fresh water
- Check for contextually wrong values: That is, if 99 out of 100 lat/long coordinates are within the continental US, but 1 is in China, then perhaps something is wrong with that one point
- Collector/recorder names: see issue #19
- ...
A note about examples: We think that using a piping workflow with %>%
makes code easier to
build up, and easier to understand. However, in some examples we provide examples without the pipe
to demonstrate traditional usage.
