Add "native" status to species pages

[nickdos]

There are a few possible sources for this data:

• establishment_means flag in biocache (see service)
• Flora of Australia, VicFLora, FloraBase, et al.
• AFD and APNI might have data as well (?)
• IRMNG

Functionality should include:

• being able to both search and facet on "native" flag
• Display native status on species pages

Flora of Australia contains a field "Biostatus" that contains data about native status.
VicFlora shows EstablishmentMeans
FloraBase (WA) shows Naturalised Status
So they're inconsistent with the terminology of the field but it seems that the data go into Floras. APC / APNI doesn't seem to have the native status information - just the floras.

The biocache-store uses an IRMNG DwCA located at https://archives.ala.org.au/archives/nameindexes/irmng/ to decide this.

In simple syllables can you explain? What's IRMNG actually doing at an individual record level in the Biocache? The herbarium folk provide the DwC field EstablishmentMeans at a per-record basis. This is not done by the Museum folk, and presumably not even thought about by most other data providers. So I don't understand what role IRMNG is playing in determining native status at a per record level?
And is IRMNG used to show native status in the BIE at all? I can't find any examples.

I've only just discovered this while updating the new name index, because the DwCA the biocache-store expected to download wasn't there.

This isn't from the BIE but in the biocache. The biocache maintains a table of native status and conservation status, which it then uses to process individual occurrence records. The native status is derived from the profile extension of the IRMNG DwCA.

I was pointing it out as existing source of native status currently in use.

[elywallis]

Yep, got that it's an existing source of native status data that we could potentially extract from to add to BIE pages if that data can be considered authoritative.
My other question still stands though - what function is having the native status tag actually performing on biocache records? Is it being used in one of the validation checks for example? It's not added as visible data to the Biocache record so I just wonder what the purpose is of having those tables for native status and conservation status in processing?

[nickdos]

Is it this field @charvolant ?

[charvolant]

Still working out what the biocache actually does with it.
