Dear BID colleagues,
As many of you are starting to publish BID-related datasets, we’ve taken the opportunity to add a page to the BID grantees website and align it with the programme’s specific data quality requirements:
We encourage you to attend to the details—they’re all genuinely important for ensuring the quality of your data—but for today, we’d like to call your attention to one required field in the metadata:
projectID.
This field is intended to provide a unique identifier for any project from which a dataset is derived. By entering your BID project number (e.g. BID-AF2015-00..) as its value, you can automatically link your datasets to your
BID project page on GBIF.org.
Help us share your work—please use your BID project number in the metadata’s projectID field!
Best regards,
Kyle Copas
