Hannu, I am afraid the current version doesnt allow to map multiple sources files to "the core". The darwin core archive format allows for this, but we havent implemented that in the IPT yet. It is a missing feature that has been reported to me before, so I have added a feature request to the code site: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/issues/detail?id=249
anyone supporting this request please star the issue or comment on it!

Hi Markus,
Would you be able to answer Hannu's first question, regarding multiple source files? I am not sure I completely understand the scenario, but I could imagine (as he is a user of the old "GBIF portal toolkit") that he is trying to upload one dataset from multiple source files. In the toolkit, those could just be glued together after upload. Is there provision for this in the IPT, or should the whole resource be coming as one file?
Many thanks! Andrea

Hello
We have just successfully published our first dataset from IPT!
However, there are two Source Files, and only the first one was exported to the cache. There seems to be no way to add mapping for the other to Darwin Core, only to extensions. Both files can be seen in the pulldown menu Add New Mapping. What to do?
Furthermore, why did I get 5 emails like below, all at the same minute. Why?
Hannu
