==Data Requirements==
From Morphbank http://www.morphbank.net/About/Manual/imagePhilosophy.php to see how we worded "permissions" issue (revolving around images).
===Data Records===
#all specimen records need to have a GUID in each digital record: a persistent globally unique identifier
#you need to have <strike>ownership</strike> of the data in the case of your being its source, on the other hand if you are an aggregator, you need to have the owner's permission to send it to us.
#we would like it to be available to our harvester via IPT and RSS if possible, otherwise in DarwinCore format in a CSV file would work too.
#dates in ISO 8601 format, i.e., YYYY-MM-DD
#caution to preserve diacritics in people and place names.

  1. Regarding data@idigbio.org now that dp has a gator link, does this mean I can be added to the mailing list that "sees" data@idigbio.org--Dpaul
  2. Where do users send email if they have a question
    1. data@idigbio.org
    2. the feedback (or both)?--Dpaul (talk) 17:48, 9 January 2014 (EST)
  3. (At Morphbank, to keep this straightforward, all email requests for help go to morphbank@scs.fsu.edu
    1. We do not have 2 separate paths for help / issues requests.
    2. I am assuming (I think) that clicking to send "feedback" generates a Redmine ticket (efficient and transparent). But, data@idigbio.org is not transparent.--Dpaul
  4. About this Section: Registering Your Collection in Preparation for Data Ingestion
    1. I suggest a different order. See next.--Dpaul

When your data are ready for ingestion, please see the next steps.

  1. Get an iDigBio account for yourself (if you don't have one yet). https://www.idigbio.org/auth/login.php
    1. These are the only login credentials you will need.
  2. Log in with your iDigBio account username and password. https://www.idigbio.org/auth/login.php
  3. Register your collection. http://portal.idigbio.org/register OR
  4. Register your collection at GRBIO
    1. Repository: http://grbio.org/find-biorepositories OR
    2. Institutional Collections: http://grbio.org/find-institutional-collections
  5. If you are already on the portal page, the 'Register A Collection' is in the menu under your login name in the upper right of the page.
  1. About this next section:Data Requirements
  2. I would avoid the word ownership, if at all possible to help the community get around this issue (eventually). This reinforces ideas / misconceptions, and adds to confusion about data, media (and copyright, and intellectual property, etc). Something like this for number 2...
    1. You have permission to contribute this dataset to iDigBio.
  3. for number 3. do we need to explain or justify? how about
Data Format choices
DarwinCore archive format OR
CSV files mapped to Darwin Core (and other relevant standards, example Audubon Core)
Data Transfer
Darwin Core Archive files harvest via IPT and RSS
CSV files via (...)
  1. for number 4, please add UTF-8 reference. something like:
UTF-8 encoding preferred (should be required).
validate (or verify) that "special characters" (diacritics like umlauts, tilde, cedilla) are correct in your dataset.
