<div class="gmail_default">In an ideal world, yes the feedback should go to the data provider, things get fixed, then GBIF gets updated. However, data providers don’t always have the resources to fix things. I’m also interested in how many of the data issues
that come up are things that GBIF itself can detect and flag. In my experience, there are issues that the provider was unaware of, but become apparent once the data is exposed by GBIF. </div>
<div class="gmail_default"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_default">For example, here’s a case of a data set supplied to GBIF with a serious error <a href="https://github.com/ttu-vertnet/ttu-mammals/issues/12" class="">https://github.com/ttu-vertnet/ttu-mammals/issues/12</a> This was obvious in GBIF
simply by looking at the map, but apparently not to the data provider (this error has now been fixed).</div>

made some correction or comment on the occurrence. I can see that this is related with annotation initiatives, such as AnnoSys and FilteredPush. In my ideal and fantastic world, we would have an annotation feature on GBIF occurrences, where experts can interact
with the material.

<div class="">it would be interesting to have example of the kinds of problems you encounter with GBIF data, so that we can look at was to fix the problems. It would also be interesting to know whether you would be able to provide GBIF with the corrections
you make to GBIF data. It seems clear that lots of people are cleaning data in their own projects, but that doesn’t filter back to GBIF.</div>
