Exercise 4

Data publishing

For this exercise, you will take the role of the taxonomic expert collaborating with IBAN at their headquarters. Some of your previous responsibilities (writing the annual report, and producing the base distribution maps) have been handed over to the volunteers, and you have now been given a new responsibility: publishing the cleaned data online through the GBIF network. The volunteer in charge of data quality has provided a dataset to be published.
