Filtering out Herbaria/Museum locations about scrubr HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for the pointers. Really useful.

I do actually know of a really comprehensive source of lat/longs for botanical gardens (although not musuems). If you source view (Ctrl-U) the HTML map given by BGCI, all the lat longs appear to be publicly visible: https://www.bgci.org/map.php

Right, not implemented yet.

Correct, not easy to solve (reason it's not been done yet)

Thanks for the example. I think that's a good strategy - to look for tightly clustered records that all have the same lat/long data.

I started to collect herbaria lat/long's here https://github.com/ropensci/scrubr/tree/master/inst/extdata - Needs to be much more exhaustive though. Do you know of lat/long data for other herbaria/meseums?

Seems if metadata is available too we can see if the herbarium/meseum is mentioned, and match on that as well.

Erika Edwards 'cleanGbifCoords.1.0.py' script might be worth looking into for this too:
https://github.com/ejedwards/reanalysis_zanne2014

cleanGbifCoords.1.0.py : This is a general-use version of a portion of the script that we developed to clean the Zanne et al. climate data. Specifially, this script will remove political centroids and locations of major herbaria from a collection of latitudes/longitudes.

Sorry for slow reply on the BGCI site, I did actually play with scraping that but it was a pain so dropped down the to do list.

Will have a look at that python script.
