<br>
ABSTRACT. This webinar introduces the GBIF IPT, the most widely
used tool to publish and share biodiversity data through the GBIF
network. Demonstrating how to publish a species occurrence
dataset, special emphasis will be given to how to properly map
fields to <em>DwC terms</em> while complying with vocabularies
and making sure to satisfy GBIF’s required and recommended terms.
It will end with a brief look at the tool’s roadmap, with some
essential information all IPT administrators need to be made aware
of.<br>
<br>
