UC Santa Barbara Invertebrate Zoology Collection (UCSB-IZC) Data Archive and Biodiversity Dataset Graph hash://md5/10663911550bb52a0f5741993f82db9d hash://sha256/80c0f5fc598be1446d23c95141e87880c9e53773cb2e0b5b54cb57a8ea00b20c

<p>A biodiversity dataset graph: UCSB-IZC</p> <p>The intended use of this archive is to facilitate (meta-)analysis of the UC Santa Barbara Invertebrate Zoology Collection (UCSB-IZC). UCSB-IZC is a natural history collection of invertebrate zoology at Cheadle Center of Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration, University of California Santa Barbara.</p> <p>This dataset provides versioned snapshots of the UCSB-IZC network as tracked by Preston [2,3] between 2021-10-08 and 2021-11-04 using [preston track &quot;https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/search/?datasetKey=d6097f75-f99e-4c2a-b8a5-b0fc213ecbd0&quot;].</p> <p>This archive contains 14349 images related to 32533 occurrence/specimen records. See included sample-image.jpg and their associated meta-data sample-image.json [4].</p> <p>The images were counted using:</p> <p>$ preston cat hash://sha256/80c0f5fc598be1446d23c95141e87880c9e53773cb2e0b5b54cb57a8ea00b20c\<br> &nbsp;| grep -o -P &quot;.*depict&quot;\<br> &nbsp;| sort\<br> &nbsp;| uniq\<br> &nbsp;| wc -l</p> <p>And the occurrences were counted using:</p> <p>$ preston cat hash://sha256/80c0f5fc598be1446d23c95141e87880c9e53773cb2e0b5b54cb57a8ea00b20c\<br> &nbsp;| grep -o -P &quot;occurrence/([0-9])+&quot;\<br> &nbsp;| sort\<br> &nbsp;| uniq\<br> &nbsp;| wc -l</p> <p>The archive consists of 256 individual parts (e.g., preston-00.tar.gz, preston-01.tar.gz, ...) to allow for parallel file downloads. The archive contains three types of files: index files, provenance files and data files. Only two index and provenance files are included and have been individually included in this dataset publication. Index files provide a way to links provenance files in time to establish a versioning mechanism.</p> <p>To retrieve and verify the downloaded UCSB-IZC biodiversity dataset graph, first download preston-*.tar.gz. Then, extract the archives into a &quot;data&quot; folder. Alternatively, you can use the Preston [2,3] command-line tool to &quot;clone&quot; this dataset using:</p> <p>$ java -jar preston.jar clone --remote https://archive.org/download/preston-ucsb-izc/data.zip/,https://zenodo.org/record/5557670/files,https://zenodo.org/record/5660088/files/</p> <p>After that, verify the index of the archive by reproducing the following provenance log history:</p> <p>$ java -jar preston.jar history<br> &lt;urn:uuid:0659a54f-b713-4f86-a917-5be166a14110&gt; &lt;http://purl.org/pav/hasVersion&gt; &lt;hash://sha256/d5eb492d3e0304afadcc85f968de1e23042479ad670a5819cee00f2c2c277f36&gt; .<br> &lt;hash://sha256/80c0f5fc598be1446d23c95141e87880c9e53773cb2e0b5b54cb57a8ea00b20c&gt; &lt;http://purl.org/pav/previousVersion&gt; &lt;hash://sha256/d5eb492d3e0304afadcc85f968de1e23042479ad670a5819cee00f2c2c277f36&gt; .</p> <p>To check the integrity of the extracted archive, confirm that each line produce by the command &quot;preston verify&quot; produces lines as shown below, with each line including &quot;CONTENT_PRESENT_VALID_HASH&quot;. Depending on hardware capacity, this may take a while.</p> <p>$ java -jar preston.jar verify<br> hash://sha256/ce1dc2468dfb1706a6f972f11b5489dc635bdcf9c9fd62a942af14898c488b2c&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; file:/home/jhpoelen/ucsb-izc/data/ce/1d/ce1dc2468dfb1706a6f972f11b5489dc635bdcf9c9fd62a942af14898c488b2c&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CONTENT_PRESENT_VALID_HASH&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 66438&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; hash://sha256/ce1dc2468dfb1706a6f972f11b5489dc635bdcf9c9fd62a942af14898c488b2c<br> hash://sha256/f68d489a9275cb9d1249767244b594c09ab23fd00b82374cb5877cabaa4d0844&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; file:/home/jhpoelen/ucsb-izc/data/f6/8d/f68d489a9275cb9d1249767244b594c09ab23fd00b82374cb5877cabaa4d0844&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CONTENT_PRESENT_VALID_HASH&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4093&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; hash://sha256/f68d489a9275cb9d1249767244b594c09ab23fd00b82374cb5877cabaa4d0844<br> hash://sha256/3e70b7adc1a342e5551b598d732c20b96a0102bb1e7f42cfc2ae8a2c4227edef&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; file:/home/jhpoelen/ucsb-izc/data/3e/70/3e70b7adc1a342e5551b598d732c20b96a0102bb1e7f42cfc2ae8a2c4227edef&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CONTENT_PRESENT_VALID_HASH&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5746&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; hash://sha256/3e70b7adc1a342e5551b598d732c20b96a0102bb1e7f42cfc2ae8a2c4227edef<br> hash://sha256/995806159ae2fdffdc35eef2a7eccf362cb663522c308aa6aa52e2faca8bb25b&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; file:/home/jhpoelen/ucsb-izc/data/99/58/995806159ae2fdffdc35eef2a7eccf362cb663522c308aa6aa52e2faca8bb25b&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OK&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CONTENT_PRESENT_VALID_HASH&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6147&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; hash://sha256/995806159ae2fdffdc35eef2a7eccf362cb663522c308aa6aa52e2faca8bb25b</p> <p>Note that a copy of the java program &quot;preston&quot;, preston.jar, is included in this publication.
