Exercise 4

Note
 In this exercise, you will publish an occurrence dataset using the IPT.

Read USE CASE I (if you haven’t already).

Data publishing

After cleaning the data in the Poales dataset, the team considers that publishing the data online through the GBIF network could be a good way to make this effort visible. You have been requested to lead that publishing work, based on the dataset.

  1. At this point, you need an account on one of the course IPTs. If you have not already been provided a login, please contact training@gbif.org and you will be provided with a login and password on one of the course IPTs.

  2. Download UC1-4-poales-publishing.csv. (233.5 KB)

  3. Use the assigned IPT installation and publish this file.

  4. Use the previously downloaded exercise sheet to provide your answers.
