Description

This publication contains an archive of versioned metadata and data associated the TaxoDros source data for Taxodros: The database on Taxonomy of Drosophilidae as provided by Gerhard Bächli, the database maintainer, in January 2025. [1].

The data archive "data.zip" was created using Preston [2,3] and includes both pdfs of works published before and after 2000-01-01. 

Due to copyright restrictions, the data can only be accessed on request.

To use, first download and unpack data, then use preston (or similar) to easily access data.

If preston is not available, or prefer not to use it, the associated TaxoDros data can be discovered found via

 data/01/85/0185b51272f3cd5ca6af34ee406564c3366211bed461650e28273cc7f27f6210

and their dependencies.

Technical info

filenames.tsv and filenames.csv were derived from the included archive using Preston, a biodiversity data tracker via

# get data archive and unzip to data/ folder
unzip data.zip

# use preston to list all name -> content associations
preston alias\
 -l tsv\
 --anchor hash://sha256/0185b51272f3cd5ca6af34ee406564c3366211bed461650e28273cc7f27f6210\
 | cut -f1,3\
 | tee filenames.tsv\
 | mlr --itsvlite --ocsv cat\
 > filenames.csv

The content associated with a specific name is located in data/[characters 0-1 of content id]/[characters 2-3 of content id]/[content id].

So, for instance, content associated with -

filename content id
file:///var/cache/taxodros/pdf/R/Riedel,%201919b.pdf hash://sha256/f493ad1de56055d631ada9ab0db6f9da2ff0d096336aa4174b1515336b9581b4

can be found in
