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
