Hi Natasha,
This is great!!!
We gonna start the tests as soon as possible. If I have any question I will
ask.
But, for me, this will suit our needs perfectly.
Thank you very much for helping and congrats for the quickly and good work.

> We have finished writing a DWCA Names index generator. It requires a
> single DwCA that contains all the scientific names that you wish to add
> (including synonyms).
>
> There is an example Catalogue of Life DwcA that can be downloaded here:
> http://biocache.ala.org.au/archives/dwca-col.zip You will need to modify
> the col_dwc.txt file to include any additional species.
>
> The name matching index can also support common name. Here are the
> Catalogue of Life common names that can be loaded in conjunction to the
> Darwin Core Archive:
> http://biocache.ala.org.au/archives/col_vernacular.txt.zip
>
> The name matching supports homonym detection. Homonym detection is
> supported through the using of IRMNG. You can download the IRMNG DwCA for
> homonyms from the following URL:
> www.cmar.csiro.au/datacentre/downloads/IRMNG_DWC_HOMONYMS.zip
>
> Here is the code for the DwcaNameIndexer :
> http://code.google.com/p/ala-portal/source/browse/trunk/ala-name-matching/src/main/java/au/org/ala/checklist/lucene/DwcaNameIndexer.java
>
> An assembly jar file for this can be downloaded from our maven
> repository :
> http://maven.ala.org.au/repository/au/org/ala/ala-name-matching/1.3-SNAPSHOT/ala-name-matching-1.3-SNAPSHOT-assembly.jar
>
> To generate the name using the assembly jar:
> 1) Rename the jar :
> mv ala-name-matching-1.3-SNAPSHOT-assembly.jar names.jar
>
> 2) Extract the lib directory:
> jar -xf names.jar lib
>
> 3) Generate the names index - here is the command that I used.
> java -cp .:names.jar au.org.ala.checklist.lucene.DwcaNameIndexer --all
> --dwca /data/bie-staging/names-lists/dwca-col --target
> /data/lucene/testdwc-namematching --irmng
> /data/bie-staging/irmng/IRMNG_DWC_HOMONYMS --common
> /data/bie-staging/ala-names/col_vernacular.txt
>
> Please be aware that the names indexing could take over an hour to
> complete.
>
> Let me know if you have any questions.
