Open

Description

@oruebel

Validation tests currently show the below warning

1  BEST_PRACTICE_VIOLATION
==========================

1.1  nwb_files/createElectricalSeries.nwb and 1 other file: check_electrodes_location_allen_ccf - 'NWBFile' object at location '/'
       Message: Electrode location 'unknown' is not a term in the Allen Mouse Brain CCF ontology. Please use either the full name or abbreviation from the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas (e.g., 'Primary visual area' or 'VISp'). This check can be ignored if Allen CCF terms do not meet your needs.

Note, #320 added --ignore=check_electrodes_location_allen_ccf on the nwb-inspector to avoid the above test failure.
