<div>Bastiaan, you should definitely check out EOL, but just to be clear: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your question about name validation stemmed from the thought that the new gallery view of the GBIF occurrence search (i.e.
<a href="https://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=6920">https://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/gallery?taxon_key=6920</a>) was somehow harvesting unverified Flickr images, correct? That is not the case.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In fact, you can identify the source of all the datasets that contribute to the search result by filtering for Media type = images and viewing the dataset tab (<a href="https://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/datasets?media_type=StillImage&taxon_key=6920">https://demo.gbif.org/occurrence/datasets?media_type=StillImage&taxon_key=6920</a>),
.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I suggest you look into the EOL API, as there should be a way to filter for only images have confirmed identifications. Not sure how much there is for Syrphidae, but there might be a way to combine info from GBIF and EOL to achieve your goals.

Hi Bastiaan,<br>
there is no flickr connection in the new portal, at least not directly. All images are explicitly provided links by the occurrence publishers.<br>
They might point to flickr if they happen to host the images there, but the vast majority does not.<br>

diptera.org</a> the original source zoobank is using and as I understood gbif is using via zoobank (?). Yes I can imagine it would provide great complications assembling all different sources into one db :)<br>
><br>
> I really like the flickr connection in the new portal but how do you check the validity of names given to the media in flickr? I can imagine there could be a lot of mistakes, does gbif offer any correction back to the flickr media made by 'authorized persons/professionals/<wbr>taxonomists'?
How would the correction flow go? Via the source you used or could this be done via gbif?<br>
