Introduction to Darwin Core
  • Darwin Core isn’t difficult to apply, it just takes a little bit of time.

  • Using Darwin Core allows datasets from across projects, organizations, and countries to be integrated together.

  • Applying certain general principles to the data will make it easier to map to Darwin Core.

  • Implementing Darwin Core makes data FAIR-er and means becoming part of a community of people working together to understand species no matter where they work or are based.

Data Cleaning for Darwin Core
  • When doing conversions it’s best to break out your data into it’s component pieces.

  • Dates are messy to deal with. Some packages have easy solutions, otherwise use regular expressions to align date strings to ISO 8601.

  • Latitude and longitudes are like dates, they can be messy to deal with. Take a similar approach.

GBIF community forum & helpdesk
  • You are not alone in this world

Darwin Core+Extensions archive
  • Darwin Core star schema with core and extensions to model the multitude of biological observation data.

  • Identifiers fields are important keys in your data and we recommend building them from the information in your data.

  • Minimum Data fields Requirements for each class.

  • Linking Core entities with the extensions.

Metadata
  • The IPT is a well-documented and flexible system for publishing data to GBIF (and OBIS)

  • Some Darwin Core and Ecological Metadata Language fields are required for publishing to GBIF (and OBIS).

  • Strive to write more than the minimal metadata

Data Validation & GBIF Validator
  • Use at least the GBIF data validator before you publish data on the network
