Burke, you dont have to register,but you can if you like to try the
registry integration.
The registry connected is a test one until the real release, so you
dont harm anyone, just go ahead and register anything you want. The
functionality of the registry is still being updated, not all email
notifications for example might work right now, in particular the
resend password link (which you need to use an existing organisation
without knowing its password).
Once you have selected an existing or registered a new organisation,
publishing a resource also registers it with GBIF and updates its
metadata in the registry (not fully working in the current registry
version). A resource therefore has 3 states:
- private/draft: this is the default for new resources. Its neither
registered nor should it be visible in the public portal part of the IPT
- public/modified: the resource is intended to be public, its present
in the IPT portal and if all goes well and your settings allow to, its
also registered with GBIF. The resource metadata is modified though
and differes from a) GBIFs registry metadata or b) the versioned EML
document which is generated each time you press publish (actually also
the geoserver WFS/WMS services have their own metadata which is out of
date then too)
- public/clean: same as above, but the metadata in the registry/
EML&geoserver should reflect your latest state
Does this clarify the registry integration?
