<div>Hi folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am very happy to let you know that a new release of GBIF.org went online at lunchtime today with the following enhancements:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><b>Occurrence search (http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search):</b></div>
<ul>
<li>New locality based filters:
<ul>
<li>locality, province/state and water body</li><li>These are not interpreted terms, but allow search based on what publishers state</li><li><a href="http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?STATE_PROVINCE=California">http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?STATE_PROVINCE=California</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?WATER_BODY=AMAZONAS+BASIN%2C+RIO+JURUA">http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?WATER_BODY=AMAZONAS+BASIN%2C+RIO+JURUA</a></li></ul>
</li><li>A new organismID filter
<ul>
<li>http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?ORGANISM_ID=100 </li></ul>
</li><li>Publishing protocol filter
<ul>
<li>http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?PROTOCOL=TAPIR </li></ul>
</li><li>License filter and facet:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?license=CC_BY_4_0">http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?license=CC_BY_4_0</a></li></ul>
</li><li>The occurrence API supports all the filters mentioned above with the addition of also allowing search by publishing organisation</li></ul>
<div><b>Occurrence downloads</b>: </div>
<ul>
<li>The rights.txt file: has been changed to list all the licenses of datasets included in that download.</li><li>DwC-A based downloads and the Datacite metada (DOIs) use the most restrictive license of the datasets included in the download defaulting to CC-BY.</li><li>The CSV downloads contain a new column ‘<i>License</i>’.</li></ul>
<div>The <b>Dataset search page</b> now supports faceted navigation by license: http://www.gbif.org/dataset/search?license=CC_BY_4_0 </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the release, we have temporarily broken the “<i>repatriation</i>” filter which is being re-enabled now, and will be online again tomorrow. Sorry about this partial outage of that search term.</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks,</div>
<div>Tim</div>
