COL has a bottleneck by manually packing up ColDP with custom scripts for most sources. @gdower is doing most of this work, maybe he wants to comment. Many things can...

All the core information can be passed via DwC-A, so it is not essential to use ColDP. Here is a comparison: https://github.com/CatalogueOfLife/coldp#format-comparison ColDP especially improves handling of bibliographic references (they...

The abundance matrix (called community dataset in R) can be flipped with species as columns. When plots are given as columns one can often find several header rows that provide...

Setting the vocabulary when known is a great addition! I would just refrain from removing deviating values. It might be additions not yet in the vocabulary and GBIF also has...
