The topic is an introduction to the ongoing work for developing a new publishing format, the Darwin Core Data Package DwC-DP DwC-DP Quick Referencing Guide, which will allow publishers to share more complex and detailed information than what is currently possible in a Darwin Core Archive.
The Data Products team gives an overview of the main components of the publishing model and how the GBIF Secretariat expects the new format may affect the work of the GBIF nodes when providing publisher support.
Please note that the publishing model will also be part of a three-month TDWG ratification process starting from September 1st, 2025. To learn more, see: https://github.com/gbif/dwc-dp and for examples of mapping data to the new format: https://github.com/gbif/dwc-dp-examples.
We will be happy to answer any questions related to or not related to the topic. Please feel free to post questions in advance on discourse forum or write helpdesk@gbif.org.
