Target audience: Data managers and biologists publishing data through GBIF
Abstract: Darwin Core Archives can be created without installing any dedicated software. This
document targets data managers who are familiar with the dataset to be published and
are comfortable working with their data management system. It assumes that your data
are already in, or can easily generate, a CSV/Tab text file, or are in one of the supported
relational database management systems (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server,
Oracle, Sybase). It assumes you do have access to a web server and that you don’t wish to
host an IPT instance.
