Choose which mapping-file columns are compared with GEOME and GBIF

Source: R/specimen_reconcile.R
set_metadata_columns.Rd

MitoPilot compares specimen details (coordinates, collection date, country, locality, voucher, collector, sex, and life stage) between your mapping file, GEOME, and GBIF, and flags disagreements. It finds the mapping-file columns by name; use this function when a column has a name it does not recognize, or to stop comparing one. The Taxon column is always compared.

Usage

set_metadata_columns(path = ".", ...)

Arguments

path

Path to the project directory (default = current working directory)

...

Named `concept = column` pairs. Concepts: `coordinates`, `collection_date`, `country`, `locality`, `voucher`, `collector`, `sex`, `dev_stage`. `coordinates` takes one combined column or two columns (latitude, then longitude). `NA` returns a concept to automatic detection; `""` stops comparing it.

Value

Invisibly, a data frame of each concept and the column(s) now used (`NA` when none).
