Dear COL users,
we are happy to announce that we have finally started again to publish monthly releases of the Catalogue of Life. The latest early April 2021 edition is not public on the main portal and available in the API. As this is the first time we have reissued our new identifiers, we have also taken some time to write a small post about stable identifiers in COL which I hope is informative and worth a read:
https://www.catalogueoflife.org/2021/04/14/stable-ids
Best wishes,
Markus & the entire COL team

Dear all,
We would like to notify you that the Catalogue of Life has published two
calls for proposals to prepare documentation on 1) the COL API, and 2) the
COLDP format. We have some funding available for people who are familiar
with the API and/or COLDP to write up documentation focused on examples and
user guidelines. We anticipate that these will be relatively short
projects, which should be completed within the next 6 months.
For more information about the calls and how to submit a proposal, please
