Genesys updated with current EURISCO data
Almost 2,000,000 accession records in Genesys were updated over the past couple of days with the current data from EURISCO. Some 14,000 new records were added. For most institutes the PDCI improved, indicating improved data coverage.
About 35K accessions from INRA (France) and CGN (Netherlands) were updated with their Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
Every WIEWS INSTCODE for which we have data in Genesys is now linked to a Data Provider -- this is a concept we introduced in the Genesys Catalog in 2018. Genesys now displays the source of data for every accession, for example https://beta.genesys-pgr.org/10.18730/8TZFW shows ICARDA as data provider.
Through this process of linking institute codes to data providers we identified a few collections that no longer appear in EURISCO (a few from Poland and Romania) and that data was removed from Genesys.
About 120,000 records that were already marked as historical entries from VIR (RUS001) were deleted from the database because they were duplicates of current records (~200K).
For some reason we had data registered to USA200 (University of California) that in fact had to be USA129 (NPGS Repository for Citrus & Dates). Some 14K records were removed.
