Downloading Annotations

[pisum]

OK, I’m trying to download plant phenology data for mimulus ringens.

do you really need the observation-level detail? if not (for example, if you’re just going to aggregate the data), there may be other ways to get what you need.

What are the term_ID codes for “no evidence”, “flower budding”, “flowering”, and “fruiting”?

Search for Annotations

&term_id= - the annotation group

• 1 =Life Stage, 9 =Sex, 12 =Plant Phenology, 17 =Alive or Dead

&term_value_id= - the value within the group

• Life Stage: 2 =Adult, 3 =Teneral, 4 =Pupa, 5 =Nymph, 6 =Larva, 7 =Egg, 8 =Juvenile, 16 =Subimago
• Sex: 10 =Female, 11 =Male
• Plant Phenology: 13 =Flowering, 14 =Fruiting, 15 =Flower Budding, 21 =No Evidence of Flowering
• Alive or Dead: 18 =Alive, 19 =Dead, 20 =Cannot Be Determined

Both the group parameter and value parameter should be included in the URL. And term_value_id should be able to accept a comma-separated list of more than one value.

@matthias55

I assume if I entered the term ID code for “flowering” then the exported data would be limited to the observations that have been annotated “flowering.”
Am I understanding this correctly?
