This is major/minor release of the AusTraits database.

- austraits-4.1.0.zip: contains the compiled dataset and detailed of
structure
- austraits-4.1.0.rds: contains a version of the dataset for direct
loading in R
- source code v4.1.0.zip: contains the source materials used to build
the compiled dataset

For details on access, structure and usage please visit
<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3568417>

This release was generated from source materials available at
<https://github.com/traitecoevo/austraits.build/releases/tag/v4.1.0> A
full set of changes in the source can be viewed at:
<https://github.com/traitecoevo/austraits.build/compare/v4.0.0>…v4.1.0

Compared to the last version, this release contains substantial
additions of new data and improvement of old data.

| 4.1.0 | 296 | 34017 | 2697 | 464 | 1253250 |

This release contains:

- Align units with UCUM standards
- Correct small mistakes in plant woodiness and life history in datasets extracted from national and state floras (ABS_2022; WAH_2022_1; WAH_2022_2; NHNSW_2022; RBGV_2022; SAH_2022; NTH_2022)
- Remove a small number of duplicate taxa from taxon.csv
- Fix mistake in process.R script that was duplicating methods for some dataset by trait combinations
- Further standardise trait names

| version | dataset_id | taxa | locations | traits | records |
|:--------|-----------:|------:|----------:|-------:|--------:|
| 3.0.2 | 283 | 28640 | 4721 | 448 | 997808 |
| 4.0.0 | 296 | 34028 | 2697 | 470 | 1257443 |

Changes for this release include:

* Established code as a standalone package
* Align variables (column names) with Darwin Core, Dublin Core, and the Ecological Trait-data Standard
* Allowing more metadata to be associated with individual trait measurements instead of traits or the dataset (e.g. life stage, replicates, entity type)
* Rework context, so that multiple context properties can be read in
* Reworked identifiers, including 5 separate context property identifiers and location id
* Add source_id, such that individual rows of data can be attributed to a specific source
* Merge different date fields into `collection_date`
* Work from two separate vocabulary workshops merged in (`Seed Traits` & `Whole Plant and Leaf Vegetative Traits`). Also some work realigning traits related to fire response.
* Rename other traits to have more consistent naming
* Added entity_type, reflecting the entity being measured
* Added scraped data from online floras for 7 traits related to plant growth form. For `plant_growth_form` and `woodiness` manually gap-filled from the taxonomic literature to have complete data coverage
* Reworked how taxonomic names are processed, such that submitted taxon names are now aligning to the most specific taxon name possible, with separate columns for `family`; `genus`; `binomial`; `trinomial`, filled in as appropriate.
* New taxonomic updates added, based on updated algorithms that do a much better job of capturing phrase names and submitted taxon names that include notes. In addition, algorithms automatically identify names that can only be aligned to genus.
* Removed taxon matching code from austraits.build (to become part of a separate package)
* Add database metadata into the build process
