hubercolumbian's Issues

orthography profile needs improvement

there are many errors or inconsistencies. Can be ignored for time being, but definitely something that needs to be addressed int eh future!

Updated to new pylexibank

Here: 4649f52

In terms of pylexibank 2.0 compatibility not much needed to be done. But we still want the other potential refactorings here, I think?

• concept mapping & concept ids
• language mapping (maybe? circumventing the wl._meta construct?)
• anything else?

Fix concept mapping issues

See TODOs in code. Depends on concepticon/concepticon-data#664.

'etc' in raw data & output

There are three instances of the string 'etc' as value/form in the raw data and in the output:

• Guahibo-145_termite-2
• Guahibo-329_cut-4
• Koreguaje-146_ant-3

Are these artifacts?

Rebuild with updated code and Concepticon

Check updated concept list

And the usage of the LEXIBANK_GLOSS column, see:

concepticon/concepticon-data#1006

Missing sources.bib

@SimonGreenhill do you maybe have an uncommitted sources.bib somewhere?

render language names more properly, with capitals starting

currently, we render language names strangely, in lower case. This is not useful for clics etc.
