Abstract: This document provides an overview of biodiversity data publishing through the GBIF
network. The word, “publish”, in this sense, refers to making biodiversity datasets
publicly accessible, in a standardised form, via an access point, typically a web address (a
URL). This access point is recorded in the GBIF Registry, which serves to make the dataset
locations globally discoverable. This document presents the overall scope of data types published through the network and serves as a map to a complete suite of publication-related documents.

out of 5 stars A very good basis for our own training schema by Bruno Danis
We're using this very good document as a basis for our own training schema. We're re-mixing it a bit and adapting it to the Antarctic community. Saved us plenty of time!
