Topic: Point occurrence data

The Birds (BTO+Partners) dataset on the Atlas is listed as "Point occurrence data" on the dataset search page. Is this correct? Clicking through to the records and checking the "original vs processed data" box, it shows original data supplied as a grid reference.

Re: Point occurrence data

Thank you for highlighting this. I have asked the BTO for more information about this dataset as there is no metadata at the moment. It does look like most of the records were supplied as a grid reference. I will check this in case it does include some point occurrence data, but the dataset certainly needs more metadata. I think also you noticed that DOI points to a deleted dataset on Gbif. I am waiting to hear back about that as well.

As soon as I have more information, I will write another reply,

Many thanks, Sophie
