Hi folks,

I am very happy to let you know that a new release of GBIF.org went online at lunchtime today with the following enhancements:

Occurrence search (http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search):

• New locality based filters: 
  • locality, province/state and water body
  • These are not interpreted terms, but allow search based on what publishers state
  • http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?STATE_PROVINCE=California  
  • http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?WATER_BODY=AMAZONAS+BASIN%2C+RIO+JURUA
• A new organismID filter
  • http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?ORGANISM_ID=100 
• Publishing protocol filter
  • http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?PROTOCOL=TAPIR 
• License filter and facet: 
  • http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?license=CC_BY_4_0
• The occurrence API supports all the filters mentioned above with the addition of also allowing search by publishing organisation

Occurrence downloads: 

• The rights.txt file: has been changed to list all the licenses of datasets included in that download.
• 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.
• The CSV downloads contain a new column ‘License’.

The Dataset search page now supports faceted navigation by license: http://www.gbif.org/dataset/search?license=CC_BY_4_0 

In the release, we have temporarily broken the “repatriation” filter which is being re-enabled now, and will be online again tomorrow.  Sorry about this partial outage of that search term.

Many thanks,

Tim
