Topic: GBIF IPT (Integrated Publishing Toolkit) and Darwin Core templates
Has anyone used the IPT?
Info here: www.gbif.org/ipt
There are also very useful templates for using Darwin Core attributes here: http://www.gbif.org/newsroom/news/new-darwin-core-spreadsheet-templates
I will use their templates with our next lot of Atlas exports, but I'm interested in the whole IPT thing, esp. the use of Ecological Metadata Language.
As a LERC manager I'm quite keen to use a common international format standard, esp. as we sometimes need to prove compliance with GEMINI. I'd be interested to hear anything about the relationship of all this to the NBN Atlas, which doesn't go into as much detail about Darwin Core, metadata standards etc. on the site.
