Hi Tim,

I second Jonas. The additional terms defined with the Darwin Core extension for genebanks are required for the IPT to be useful for sharing datasets in the plant genetic resources community. As example the ongoing demonstration project for the European EURISCO genebank data portal is dependent on the Darwin Core extension for genebanks to be available to the IPT installations for the European genebanks.

We do expect further developments of the extension, but as Jonas remarks there is no better test environment than the real world :-)

Thanks Dag

As far as I can see it will serve well for production, I guess Dag Terje has some opinion about this, since he defined it. Of course there might be developments in the future but there is no better test environment than the real world :)

Hi Jonas,

That is correct. If you visit http://rs.gbif.org you can see both the sandbox and the live extensions.

Germplasm only lives in the sandbox: http://rs.gbif.org/sandbox/extension/

Do you consider the extension ready for production?

Cheers, Tim

Hi all

When doing an installation of the new IPT2 on Tomcat 7 last week at the Vavilov Institute, we found that the DarwinCore Germplasm extension was not available for installation. Is it only in the dev reg?
