<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hello GRSciColl friends,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thank you for subscribing to our mailing list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I wanted to let you know that we have changed the way we link occurrences published on GBIF to GRSciColl entries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If you are unfamiliar with the idea, GBIF links occurrences published on GBIF with GRSciColl whenever possible. You can read more about it
<a href="https://data-blog.gbif.org/post/grscicoll-flags/">here</a>. We used to attempt linking any occurrence on GBIF where a collection or institution code or identifier was provided. The rationale was that an institution should also be able to showcase their
observation records.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We also wouldn’t link occurrences to GRSciColl if the institution code provided didn’t match the owner code provided.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This generated a lot of confusion and mismatches (many observations had codes that happen to match to GRSciColl entries even though they were unrelated to those).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">So, we decided to only match the occurrences that are published with one of the following bases of record: Preserved Specimen, Fossil Specimen, Living Specimen, Material Sample.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In addition to that, we now link records to GRSciColl entries even if the owner institution code differs from the institution code. This allows many records
<a href="https://www.gbif.org/dataset/e053ff53-c156-4e2e-b9b5-4462e9625424">published by Tropicos</a> to be linked to GRSciColl entries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The behavior for the matching algorithm is documented
<a href="https://github.com/gbif/registry/blob/dev/registry-service/README.md">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Don’t hesitate to send any feedback or question.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">All the best,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
