<div dir="auto">While it would be great to have versioned datasets I generally create a snapshot of the data used in a paper and archive this in Zenodo. This gives complete reproducibility without putting extra demands on the data providers.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In terms of citation, we use a DOI to identify the concept of a dataset, not the specific version. E.g.
<a href="https://doi.org/10.15468/cup0nk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://doi.org/10.15468/cup0nk</a> <u></u>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you start deleting copies of data (e.g. a background housekeeping task) what will break are links to the downloads in the IPT pages.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am finishing an upgrade to the Harvard University Herbaria IPT instance and have configured our feeds for daily auto-publish. The HUH has invested in a mass digitization workflow and we are currently creating
~20,000 new vascular records per month (with minimal data), so we do have new records on a daily basis. However, our DwC archives are fairly large (100MB+), so we can’t keep the daily archive history. I am looking for guidance on how it will work with GBIF
dataset citation if we do not preserve each daily archive. It seems problematic if a version of our dataset is used and cited but cannot be reconstructed.
