Hi Tim,
I believe that the IPT feature I've requested long ago could be helpful for
David: https://github.com/gbif/ipt/issues/1165
Consumers and also the data providers don't have a DwC-A viewer, and they
need to join the separate csv files for having one table in a worksheet.
Web applications like the one at OBIS website do let end users download one
big table.
Best regards,
Menashè

Hi David
(CC’ing the IPT list as this might be an IPT specific thread -
http://lists.gbif.org/mailman/listinfo/ipt)
For clarification - is your question specific to the DwC-A standard which
is possible as Alex says or is it specific to the IPT tool please?
Do you imagine a scenario where you’d effectively map the same extension 2
times - once to interpreted and once to verbatim - or do you envisage a
different data schema for each?
Thanks,
Tim

David,
It's certainly possible, within the context of a Darwin Core Archive, to
include other files within the ZIP file that lie outside the schema of the
archive. Both GBIF and iDigBio do this when generating downloads for
various reasons (RIGHTS & LICENSE files, additional EML metadata, etc).
However, I do not believe it is possible to do this within IPT. You might
submit an issue on the IPT issue tracker (
https://github.com/gbif/ipt/issues) for potential inclusion of this
feature in a future version of IPT.
There are workarounds you can use to include additional data in Darwin
Core archives, but none of them will exactly match your old format. For
instance, including an additional Occurrence file with the values as JSON
in dynamicProperties or in some other verbatim format in the
occurrenceRemarks field. Both of those would at least give some method of
single-row access (vs joining multiple measurementOrFacts to a single event
id) if that is the primary concern, even if they would require additional
parsing steps to be useful.

Dear colleagues,
Here on SiBBr we're using the new eventCore and measurementOrFacts and
after the process of standardization to DwC and publishing we think some
users/researchers will want the "original" table format because of multiple
reasons.
Is possible to have a vertabimTable or some place where we can store the
original table/column format?
