@HillBbug Can you provide further details of what you would like to see to help us pursue this topic? Does it relate to the deeply capable model of Arctos with...

Hi Carlos, In VertNet we do prepublication data migration to try to standardize geography. The principles upon which the standardization are based can be found at https://github.com/VertNet/DwCVocabs while the actual...
