Crawling paused and new taxonomic backbone
Dear GBIF API users,
We are pleased to announce that we are preparing to move a new taxonomic backbone into production.
This is the first revision of the backbone for quite some years, which will bring the GBIF backbone up to date with latest data sources, such as the Catalogue of Life 2016 (January edition) along with fixes for the many issues you have reported since 2013. You can read more about the backbone taxonomy rewriting on http://gbif.blogspot.com/2016/04/updating-gbif-backbone.html
This requires some significant processing within the GBIF.org system as we'll be rerunning all quality control routines on all data - this means other improvements may also take effect across older data. While GBIF.org will remain operational to users during this time, crawling will be paused. We expect to start this process today, and during next week the changes will be visible in production, after which crawling will resume.
Thank you all for your patience, and providing the data, feedback and submitting the issues that have allowed this.
We'll report here as changes come into effect.
More soon, The GBIF dev team
Brilliant Tim! Thanks!

Dear all,
I am happy to let you know that the new backbone taxonomy has just gone live.
Real time indexing will be off until Wednesday morning CPH time (36hrs from now) to allow us to roll back should any unforeseen issues spring up.
GBIF now have a mechanism in place to bring in changes to the backbone taxonomy within weeks, as opposed to years. We anticipate the next deployment of the backbone taxonomy to be in around 12 weeks from now.
Congratulations to all involved with this work.
All the best, Tim

Hi Jörg,
I have created a new backbone export as a DwC-A with vernacular names, multimedia, distributions, references and descriptions: http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/backbone-2016-04-13.dwca.gz
The EML is not fully up to date yet and Im still refining the archive to also have “constituent” metadata, i.e. for each primary source we used for assembling the backbone we will add also an EML file - just as we do for the Catalogue of Life.
The new export feature can soon also be used to retrieve other datasets in a normalised format.

Dear all,
I am pleased to let you know that we have just deployed a new backbone taxonomy, which includes reorganising all occurrence data to the backbone. Most importantly this has fixed many incorrect synonymized species, especially in large plant families. Additionally, there are several bug fixes in interpretation, and a lot of improvements to the date handling which have been included in this reprocess.
We have summarised all major changes and new metrics in a blog post: http://gbif.blogspot.com/2016/08/gbif-backbone-august-2016-update.html
Crawling will remain off until tomorrow, as we verify everything is as we expect.
With regards, Markus
Great Job! It's nice to see the time investment you put into re-working the backbone infrastructure paying off. Any ETA on updating the DwC-A version at http://rs.gbif.org/datasets/backbone/backbone-current.zip ?
