Monitoring of invasive alien species by the Province East Flanders, Belgium dataset is an occurrence dataset published by the Province East Flanders (Belgium). The dataset is created by ad-hoc in-field spotting of invasive species. Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each occurrence record an occurrenceID, date, location, quantification where available and scientific name. Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/riparias/pov-ias-plants-occurrences/issues.

Sampling Description
Study Extent
Province East Flanders and small parts around.Sampling
Ad-hoc inventorisation when working on the field or performing general inventarisations.Quality Control
All inventarisations are performed or controlled by people with sufficient biological knowledge.Method steps
- The source data for this standardized occurrence dataset is retrieved from a web feature service (WFS)
- This data file was uploaded to a github repository (https://github.com/riparias/pov-ias-plants-occurrences/blob/main/data/raw/invasieve_uitheemse_soorten.csv
- We developed a RMarkdown (https://github.com/riparias/pov-ias-plants-occurrences/blob/main/src/dwc_mapping.Rmd) and SQL (https://github.com/riparias/pov-ias-plants-occurrences/tree/main/sql) script to document and perform the transformation of the data to Darwin Core, which includes transforming the data to an occurrence core (https://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_occurrence_2022-02-02.xml)
- The resulting Darwin Core data files are uploaded to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
- The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
