No definition for columns `speciesMatched` & `studyName`

baad has two species columns: species
and speciesMatched
, however there is only a definition for species
e.g.
> subset(dat$dictionary, variable =='species')
variable units group type has_methods essential label minValue maxValue allowableValues description
9 species <NA> species character FALSE TRUE species NA NA <NA> latin name of species (genus species)
> subset(dat$dictionary, variable =='speciesMatched')
[1] variable units group type has_methods essential label minValue maxValue allowableValues description
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
I'm guessing speciesMatched is the a column that has been checked against some species name database?
Also although self explanatory there is no dictionary definition for studyName
either.
For consistency I think the dictionary should match the structure of the data.
This can happen by adding definitions for the two variables I mention above.
# of columns
> length(names(baad$data))
[1] 62
# of column definitions
> length(baad$dictionary$variable)
[1] 60
