Right now the dodginess is only detected for records where we interpret the Country name as a particular country and also have coordinates and the coordinates do not intersect the country. In many cases we actually also determine that the latitude is negated, the longitude is negated and/or the latitude and longitude are transposed.

Hi
Great stuff that we can now exclude dodgy / non existant occurrences - we could probably make th e second (coordinate issues) option user settable (or at the least a setting in our global config file).

Great,
I will then uncomment the code :)
Javier.

Great Donald,
We have now some comments to remove on the report about the GBIF REST service ;)
Still I have an issue when using the &coordinateissues=false parameter
This URL returns 195 records: http://data.gbif.org/ws/rest/occurrence/list? format=brief&scientificname=Puma+concolor
This one none: http://data.gbif.org/ws/rest/occurrence/list? format=brief&coordinateissues=false&scientificname=Puma+concolor
And I suppose not all coordinates are wrong no?
Cheers.

Dear Javier,
The structures are now stable. Sorry not to have copied you on my emails on what was changing. Adding "&coordinatestatus=true" should limit responses to those with coordinates. You can also use "&coordinateissues=false" to exclude records where we have detected that the coordinates do not match the supplied country name.
