Dear Tim,<br>
<br>
Thank you for the background information and the clear instruction.
I will add the three options as well the slightly edited background
information to the Authors Guidelines.<br>
<br>
The correct address of our installation is: <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ipt.pensoft.net/ipt/">http://ipt.pensoft.net/ipt/</a>
(sorry for the incomplete URL in my email),<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Lyubo<br>

<div>Dear Lyubo,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll provide a little background before answering your
question.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The IPT is an installable software tool that allows users to
author metadata, map databases or uploaded text files to the
Darwin Core standard, install extensions and vocabularies to
allow for richer content and ultimately register datasets for
publication and sharing through GBIF. </div>
<div>At the GBIF secretariat we run a demonstration installation <b>for
evaluation purposes only</b>, and no content ever goes onto
the GBIF network through that installation. Periodically all
content is deleted. IPT operators undertake the responsibility
of running an internet server which should be maintained - e.g.
it should remain online and be addressable. We have added, and
with Pensoft are in the process of testing, the rich text format
(RTF) output format to the IPT so that any dataset descriptive
data (e.g. metadata) can be downloaded from any IPT (version
2.0.2+) and then go through the journal peer review process. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Therefore users have the following options, and I hope this
answers your question:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>a) Install and run an IPT, registering it with GBIF</div>
<div>b) Use an account on the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://ipt.pensoft.net">http://ipt.pensoft.net</a>
installation (seems offline now though?)</div>
<div>c) Approach an existing IPT operator and seek to host data
through them</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Users will not use the GBIF installation other than for
demonstration purposes as we do not host content at the
secretariat.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This of course is following the 2.0.2 release, which is still
being tested.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this helps. Best wishes,</div>
<div>Tim</div>

<div> Dear Tim,<br>
<br>
In our Data Publishing Guidelines we intend to point out <br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ipt.pensoft.net">http://ipt.pensoft.net</a>
as a venue for our authors to upload their <br>
datasets. Will there be a possibility to register/login in
each locally <br>
installed IPT individually? Or, the user should
register/login to the <br>
GBIF IPT and then use that account?<br>
<br>
The background of my question is: what kind of instruction
in this <br>
respect should we address to our authors who want to
publish data <br>
through IPT?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Lyubo<br>
