Topic: ALA/GBIF data processing.
I came across this paper the other day, it may have implications ofr the NBN at some point.
"In an effort to improve the quality of biodiversity records, the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) use automated data processing to check individual data items. The records are provided to the ALA and GBIF by museums, herbaria and other biodiversity data sources.
However, an independent analysis of such records reports that ALA and GBIF data processing also leads to data loss and unjustified changes in scientific names"
