University of Wyoming Issuers: HCV and Frozen Tissue Collection

[ewommack]

Reopening with updates after consulting and planning with Beth

UWYMV:Bird [ link ]	UWYMV Bird catalog number	http://arctos.database.museum/guid/UWYMV:Bird:
UWYMV Frozen Tissue Collection [ link ]	Tissue collection number for the University of Wyoming Museum of Vertebrates. Separate number prefixes are used for birds (B), mammals (M), herps (H), and fish (F). Arctos Agent	2,327 records
UWYMV Historia Catalog Vertebrate [ link ]	Original catalog number ("HCV" numbers) given to mostly salvaged specimens prepared by students in the University of Wyoming Museum of Vertebrates prep lab. All specimens with a HCV number are recorded in a catalog that is maintained in the museum's prep lab. Arctos Agent	31 records

Plan of Action:

• Beth to update the two profiles for Issuers above ( update the public remarks, update the profile name and add any AKAs if needed
• Create CSV for bulk loading the Identifiers --
• for now these will appear side-by-side with the original identifier type before they are removed. MK and Beth will ensure that the new issuers will be visible in the record detail page as Selected IDs (must select on the collection settings page) until we are ready to remove the old identifiter type

@dustymc can you please provide CSV's for the above two identifier types so we can proceed to upload to the Identifier IssuedBy Bulkloader tool? I updated the table with the number of records for each! thanks

[dustymc]

I can get CSV, just let me know exactly what you want. You can also eg

https://arctos.database.museum/search.cfm?oidtype=UWYMV%20Frozen%20Tissue%20Collection

then

and download some defaults, or access some pretty fancy customizers (eg that'll probably save you needing to do anything in Excel).

Click view/hide and that'll open up to something like....

feed it some values (or don't, whatever), click a button, I think you'll get what you want. You can even skip the download and go straight to the loader.

Here's the other type link since I'm already there: https://arctos.database.museum/search.cfm?oidtype=UWYMV%20Historia%20Catalog%20Vertebrate

visible in the record detail page

I'm a little lost, will you want to select preferred identifiers by type (there now, no problem) or issuer (will need small update) or some intersection or ????

I would set all of this up, but I don't have access to the collection and so I cannot get an identifier download. @ewommack can I help you with this so we can close an issue?

@ewommack Please advise/confirm your decision:
OPT 1) use the appropriate agents in Issued By (eg UWYMV Frozen Tissue Collection https://arctos.database.museum/agent/21347672 and UWYMV Historia Catalog https://arctos.database.museum/agent/21347673) so we can remove it in the identifier_type. This is the recommended option for a series of reasons including easier report coding. I thought you had opted for this in conversation but I would like to have it confirmed since I think I got mixed messages.

OPT 2) do nothing- keep as local identifier and thus keep in identifier_type where it is not globally relevant or useful.

Just let us know so we can either work to implement (opt1) or close (opt2)!
