History


Version 20240112: Added DOI to .K in DROS5.TEXT and SYST.QE.TEXT Version 20240926: Scheduled update of index files with new/updated pdfs. Version 20250120: Scheduled update of index files with new/updated pdfs.



Index File Details


Details based on description provided by Bächli in January 2024.

The TaxoDros Index includes 12 files. With the exception of SYST.TEXT all files are strict size-limited (72 Chars, some lines with continuations in DROS5.TEXT). The font used is Monaco, a fix-length font on Mac, which in a text editor makes the data looking (pseudo)tabellaric. The following information is important to understand the individual files.



ALLORTE.TEXT


This file includes all collection sites in alphabetical order, with geographic coordinates, first geographic longitude, then geographic latitude („-„ at the end means rather exact data) und die Swiss coordinates [This is used for Swiss Topo maps], followed by the (abbreviated) name of the country. The abbreviations are explained and expanded in KEYWORDS.TEXT and used in Taxodros online.



ASHBURN.TEXT


This text-file containes the names of the journals: *s = abbreviation of names used in DROS5.TEXT *u = full (formal) names of journals



DROS3.TEXT


This text-file includes the descriptors (keywords) used for each source. Each segment has two tags: .TEXT; and .DESC;. The tag .TEXT; includes first the source identification and may be followed by collecting localities (each beginning with =e=…). The tag .DESC; is followed by the “short name” of the taxon (always in first place) followed by the descriptors (key words), The keywords used are explained in KEYWORDS.TEXT. With the exception of the tags, all the following lines are in lower case. Addional “short names” can follow in each segment, in case that the keywords also apply. The keyword “descr” is also used in connection with the keywords fig, egg, larv, pup. Multiple segments are used for each source, when needed.

Example (copy of two segments in DROS3.TEXT:



.TEXT;	tag
acurio et al., 2013	(source identification)
=e=san jose beach	(collection site)
.DESC;	tag

DROS5.TEXT


This text-file contains segments with the bibliographic details for each source of information. Each segment begins with the tag .TEXT; strictly followed by the following tags: .A , .J , .S , .Z or .Z., .K , .P . All tags are fix length (max. 72 chars), excepting the tags .A and .S which may have consecutive lines without new tags.

The following is important:



There is only one segment for each source of information.

Excepting the source identification (in lowercase), all tags may contain text with the usual capitalization.

The lines “source identification” in DROS3.TEXT and DROS5.TEXT are in exact match, connecting the two files.


Explanation of the tags used within each segment:



.TEXT;	Segment delimiter
.A 		source identification
.J 		year of publication
.S 		title
.Z		Journal name (abbreviated), volume(issue):first 
		page-last page
		or
.Z.		for Books: editor etc.
.K 		comments: library codes, pdf quality, DOI
.P 		name of respective pdf, if available

KEYWORDS.TEXT


This text-file includes the descriptors (keywords) used in DROS3.TEXT and the (abbreviated) names of countries used in ALLORTE.TEXT and DROS5.TEXT, all used in online TAXODROS.



SPECIES-List_GE_SG


In this text-file, all taxon names (short names, epithets) are listed with their affiliation to genus and subgenus.



SPECIES-List_GR_SG


In this text-file, all taxon names (short names, epithets) are listed with their affiliation to genus, subgenus, specie-groups and specie-subgroups.

SYST.TEXT


This is a XLS-file in text/tab format. It includes all systematic relationships, including comments on synonymy and homonymy, etc., with tags for sorting. Some tags:



.KF 	“short name“, used in DROS3.TEXT (e.g., atterima) 
        So called homonyms are separated by nummers and 
        uniquely identified (e.g., attenuata 1).
.VN 	the currently accepted name (taxonomy). (e.g., aterrima)
.FU 	the original form of the name, with author(s), etc.,. (e.g., atterima Patterson and Wheeler, 1949:218)
.OR 	the original generic affiliation of the name (e.g., Drosophila)
.AU 	the original source to link with DROS5.TEXT (e.g., patterson & wheeler, 1949)

.FA 	family (e.g., Drosophilidae)
.SF     subfamily (e.g., Drosophilinae)
.TR     tribe (e.g., Drosophilini)

description: Provenance


This section details the provenance of the TaxoDros index files and associated pdf files.



for humans


The TaxoDros index files and associated pdfs where provided by Gerhard Bächlin January 2024. Following, the index files and associated pdf files were packaged, signed, and versioned using Preston (Elliott et al. 2020, Elliott et al. 2023).

The TaxoDros index files (e.g., DROS5.TEXT, DROS3.TEXT) were versioned and packaged using a workflow outlined in the bin/package.sh script.

This versioning workflow has the following steps:



list all TaxoDros index files and their pdf file associates.

track (or version) these files using Preston

translating (or transforming) TaxoDros index files to line-json using the preston stream-taxodros command.

annotating the line-json with references to their associated pdf content (see e.g., bin/translate-terms.sh)

attempt to publish the resulting annotated records using the preston zenodo command (see e.g., https://github.com/bio-guoda/preston/releases/tag/0.8.2)


With steps 1-2, a TaxoDros version is created.

Following, Preston can be used to deposit the records, and their associated pdf files, in Zenodo.

This publication workflow continues after step 2.

If a new version of TaxoDros is needed, run bin/package.sh to create a TaxoDros corpus version.

Link, stream and deposit a versioned TaxoDros corpus into Zenodo by running bin/stream.sh using:



bin/stream.sh\
 | preston zenodo --endpoint https://sandbox.zenodo.org --access-token "[add token]"


 


In the package.sh and stream.sh workflow scripts, you'll find Preston comments alike: preston track for tracking an versioned the listed content in ls -1, preston taxodros-stream translates TaxoDros index files into line-json.
