Filter records to georeference using GEOLocate

Usage

ec_flag_with_locality(
  data,
  uncertainty = "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters",
  locality = "locality",
  verbatimLocality = "verbatimLocality"
)

Arguments

data: data table with occurrence information
uncertainty: Mendatory to have coordinateUncertaintyInMeters column in the data table
locality: Mandatory to have locality column in the data table.
verbatimLocality: Mandatory to have verbatimLocality in the data table.

Value

A column with flagged records as 1, which means these records has potential to be georeferenced.

Details

Records those does not have coordinates assigned but has locality and varbatim locality information to assign coordinates by using external tools such as GEOLocate

Examples

data <- data.frame(
  coordinateUncertaintyInMeters = c(NA, "N/A", 50, "30", NA, "N/A", NA),
  locality = c("Santa Cruz", NA, "Los Angeles", "N/A", "", "San Diego", NA),
  verbatimLocality = c(NA, "CA coast", "", "N/A", "Long Beach", NA, "")
)
data$flag_check_geolocate <- ec_flag_with_locality(
data, uncertainty = "coordinateUncertaintyInMeters",
locality = "locality",
verbatimLocality = "verbatimLocality"
)
