'''IMPORTANT:''' ''Before'' you submit data to us: please ensure your data are [http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/ Darwin Core] (DwC) compliant. GBIF provides two useful data tools that can check data for DwC compliance. | |||
'''Data Validator''': https://www.gbif.org/tools/data-validator This is an in-depth tool that checks for syntactical correctness of a provided dataset as well as checking the validity of the content contained within the dataset. This tool is free to use, and '''requires logging in with a free GBIF account'''. (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED) | |||
'''Darwin Core Archive Validator''': https://tools.gbif.org/dwca-validator/ This is a simple tool that will check the structure of a provided Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A). This tool is less in-depth than the above Data Validator, but is also free to use, and '''does not require a login'''. (Acceptable) | |||
The above tools can be used on '''any dataset''', regardless if they are to be published on GBIF. | |||
