Exactly!  The portal provides an index of the data (what, where, when, who style information) but for retrieving the original records you would need to talk to the providers directly.

Attached is a simple Java class which logs all the registered endpoints in the GBIF registry.  I guess you would want only the TAPIR ones?

That class will require the UDDI4J library and commons logging (plus Log4J I presume you would use?)

May I please ask - what are you intending to do?  You can probably guess that code exists for scheduling the harvesting of TAPIR endpoint data for example - this may be useful to you... 

Cheers,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I ooked at the link you mentioned.

If I understand correctly, the protocol that can be used to retrieve data from all providers registered on gbif is the REST interface (http://data.gbif.org/ws/rest/occurrence) ?

But the data accessible with REST, is only a subset of the data made available by the provider (I mean the search terms do not include all Darwin Core elements)? To access the complete data, you would have to use Tapir or whatever protocol the provider implements?

Thanks very much.

Thomas,

GBIF indexes all kinds of providers, DiGIR, BioCASE and TAPIR with different schemas even.

We have a UDDI registry of services you can search for TAPIT providers:

http://registry.gbif.net/uddi

go to find binding and search for tModels called "TAPIR"

Hi,

Is there any list or data portal of Tapir providers?

I mean, for instance the gbif data portal (www.gbif.org) uses a different protocol; the providers on the gbif portal wouldn't know how to deal with a Tapir request, or am I wrong?

Same applies to the OBIS network (www.iobis.org).

 

Thanks.
