Folks,
I note this new change:
**************** 3) The terms Recorded By ID, Identified By ID and Subgenus are now part of Darwin Core, and move from a GBIF namespace to the TDWG namespace. (The change is visible in meta.xml files of Darwin Core Archive downloads, and on verbatim occurrence records.) ****************
What happens if a data provider has either not updated the core/extensions in their IPT or are producing a DwC-A on their own? If their meta.xml continues to use the GBIF namespace for what will soon be a DwC namespace for their mapped recordedByID or identifiedByID terms, will the content in these be silently ignored when processed at GBIF's end? If this is the case, does GBIF have a mechanism to fan out communications to all affected data providers such that they can immediately update their IPTs &/or adjust how their meta.xml files are produced & then republish their datasets?
Thanks,
David Shorthouse
