A question from one of the most enthusiastic users of IPT (files are attached):

At last I am writing you to say that I have sent the data for the Brueelia paper in IPT. Herewith I am sending the files generated after my submission, the zip file (dwca) with the xml and txt files, and one rtf with a summary of our project.
The only concern about the this is that two of our columns were not recognized during the Darwin Core mapping, look the message:
"No mapped columns
The following columns of the source are not assigned to the properties of this mapping:
occurrenceID, verbatimLabel."

I double checked throughout the "Darwin Core Terms: A quick reference guide" and was unable to find these headings over there. Anyways, I think that our data base is small but still pretty complete and useful. If you have some idea for how to inlude these columns, it will be great.

The quick class and information provide by Torsten Dikow was fundamental for this stuff be done and published in IPT. He was pretty nice and very patient with us while teaching how to handle these IPT tools.
