recordedByID, identifiedByID, IPTs, and API
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
Hi David, We moved terms to DWC, but still accept old terms names as alternative names, so old names will be mapped to the new DWC term. https://github.com/gbif/dwc-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/gbif/dwc/terms... https://github.com/gbif/dwc-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/gbif/dwc/terms...

Hi David, Either the old GBIF namespace or the replacement Darwin Core namespace may be used. Example: https://www.gbif-uat.org/occurrence/3018193458 (using the old namespace in the DwC-A). Cheers, Matt On 28/01/2022 17:10, Shorthouse, David wrote:
