Dear Eli,

I don't know why it is this way, according to our API the term publishingOrgKey is "not exposed in user downloads": http://gbif.github.io/dwc-api/apidocs/org/gbif/dwc/terms/GbifInternalTerm.html

Given a datasetKey (which is in the DwCA format), you can query for the publishingOrganizationKey with a query like http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/2814930a-3b93-48d6-b887-00979481ac9e, for example using "curl" and "jq":

curl -Ss http://api.gbif.org/v1/dataset/2814930a-3b93-48d6-b887-00979481ac9e | jq .publishingOrganizationKey

There are 20,000 datasets in a complete download, so making these queries and caching the result will probably be faster than using both download formats.

Best regards,

Matt Blissett

Dear GBIF,

Is there a reason why the Asynchronous download DwCA format doesn't have publishingOrgKey while the CSV format has it.

We want to use the DwCA format because of the multimedia addition but realized the publishingOrgKey was missing.

Hopefully publishingOrgKey will be included in the DwCA format so we don't need to download both formats.

Thanks,

Eli
