Please add to INat: FREE TO USE list with all 19386 official Dutch species names

@kueda Should be able to help

De Nederlandse namenlijst van alle in het Nederland voorkomende meercellige soorten (i.e. het Nederlands Soortenregister) is open beschikbaar via o.a. onze API en via GBIF: https://www.gbif.org/dataset/4dd32523-a3a3-43b7-84df-4cda02f15cf7. *

Die dataset op GBIF loopt echter al even achter (wordt niet real-time ververst).

Bij deze mail voeg ik een recente export (zojuist gemaakt) van alle taxa uit www.nederlandsesoorten.nl (rang regio t/m ondersoort) en de Nederlandse namen (kolom F). Ik hoop dat jullie daar iets aan hebben. Mochten er vragen over zijn, horen we dat graag.

Wij werken samen met Waarneming.nl en leveren hen ook af en toe exports van de namen (vaak van specifieke deelgroepen zoals insecten, op hun verzoek). De lijsten van Waarneming.nl en Soortenregister lopen niet 1-op-1 synchroon denk ik (dat zou idealiter wel het geval moeten zijn, maar dat terzijde).

Ik herhaal dat je die GBIF lijst dus niet moet gebruiken, die loopt achter

The Dutch names of Observado.org are, for plants at least, well maintained. I am responable for the scientific names and Dutch names.there. I think they are free to use, because downloadble.

Dutch names in observado were mass imported to iNat in August 2018.

The complete list was delivered but only the birds (after the plants the most important group on iNaturalist) was imported. Adding common names in a batch seems to be a problem since 2017 (South Africa, https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/select-language-for-common-names/5430/11, https://www.inaturalist.org/posts/25768-italy-inaturalist-world-tour remarks, https://www.inaturalist.org/posts/26012-france-inaturalist-world-tour remarks and other resources).

  1. Dutch birdnames are imported
    Dutch birdnames worldwide are imported from Observado.org
    https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/8448-Birds-of-Netherlands
    original source: https://www.inaturalist.org/sources/21491

  2. Dutch Bryoptera are imported
    and Bryoptera are imported from Verspreidingsatlas, cause these lists do not contain synoniems.
    https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/1581744-Naamlijst-van-de-Nederlandse-Mossen
    https://www.inaturalist.org/sources/15063
    The topic related to this import is hidden and contains the template ‘‘Templates for bulk imports to iNaturalist.xlsx’’: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/city-nature-challenge-2020-maastricht/10570/13 It is a pity cause it contained a template for import.

  3. Other Dutch common names
    The Charofytes I did manually and butterflies, dragonflies, herps, amifbians are also complete. The other groups are probably incomplete.
    https://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/1581737-Naamlijst-van-Nederlandse-Kranswieren---Charofytes-

  4. Vascual plants
    and I am waiting for a fix https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/checklists-download-in-random-languages-despite-no-changes-to-settings-seen-in-the-taxon-common-name-field/10980/20 to create a list of all dutch vascular plants without a Dutch name, what I miss the most…

This name list is indeed better & more up-to-date / complete. Do you know how to add the missing Dutch names to INaturalist?

Thanks for your Help.

I do not know. It can be done manually but sometimes batches are executed. I advise you to start with rating the apps for Android and iPhone with five stars.
And boutela should have a template ‘‘Templates for bulk imports to iNaturalist.xlsx’’ for it.
As told before it is in this hidden thread.
@bouteloua do you have link to ‘‘Templates for bulk imports to iNaturalist.xlsx’’?

The template looks like this:
https://www.asuswebstorage.com/navigate/a/#/s/CF34F2AC55A247A0AD56100C8F973180W

-If the taxon already has a common name in this lexon the row is skipped.
-If the scientfic name does not match a taxon in iNaturalist the row is skipped.

@streepvaren
I found a tutorial ‘‘how-to-add-a-common-name-to-a-taxon’’
https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-add-a-common-name-to-a-taxon/9792

There was a discussion about an import utility but I cannot find the template, it is not mentioned in this thread:

No, sorry

The required format and order is:
Scientific Name, Lexicon 1, Common Name

So for example
Calidris melanotos, Danish, Stribet ryle

Thanks! Probably it was Carrie who created this Excelsheet, not Bouteloua…

@streepvaren If you want to import common names the format must be equal to the second tab, ‘‘Common names’’

Unfortunately the document you sent us uses semicolons and not commas, and we need a true comma separated CSV document. Can you please send us a properly formatted CSV?

Hallo AHospers,

Waar kan ik de recente export uit nederlandsesoorten.nl vinden die u zojuist maakte? Ik zou hem graag invoeren in de template die ik een paar forumposts verder kreeg.

Bedankt alvast.

Groetjes,
Thomas

What i do not understand that yesterday about 10 species could not be found ‘’ Myrmecophilus myrmecophilus’‘’ could not be found anywhere and today they can be added in one mouse click… :thinking: :crazy_face:

Blijkbaar is GBIF ook een bron, die evt. al verouderd is?

@streepvaren Perhaps move this to the Feature Requests category?

Feature Requests are asking for a change in how iNat itself works, not about a particular use of its existing functionality, which is what I think this request is.

Gbif is volgens mij oud en verouderd en er zijn al betere bronnen rechtstreeks te verkrijgen. Ik zou de lijsten uit mijn email gebruiken, die zijn van voorjaar 2020 dacht ik, terwijl GBIF van 2017 is, en verouderd ivm nieuwe Heukels in 2020.
Ik heb niet zoveel tijd…maar wat is nu de actuele status ?
Ik dacht dat RugerB ook een visie had op Taxonomie, naamgeving icm Heukels 2020.
Ik dacht dat je je GBIF 2017 niet meer moest gebruiken, verouderd en er zijn in 2020 betere lijsten voorhanden.

  1. Separator = comma, not semicolon

“NL” is not a lexicon on iNaturalist. Can you please replace it with Dutch and re-send the files?
