GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit v 2.0 - IPT Description: The Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) is a software platform to facilitate the efficient publishing of biodiversity data on the Internet, using the GBIF network. Abstract: The key features of the IPT are: (1) Manage and publish three types of data: taxon primary occurrence data, taxonomic checklists & resource metadata; (2) Import from any common database, delimited text files (e.g. csv), or existing DarwinCore Archives; (3) Author metadata according to the GBIF metadata profile; (4) Publish in standards-compliant DarwinCore Archives (DwC-A) and Ecological Modeling Language (EML v2.1.1); (5) Simple integration with the GBIF registry, to ease discovery and indexing of the published data; (6) Integrated DwC-A extensions that can be added to an installation as needed; (7) Control the visibility of individual data resources - keep private to local IPT users, publish to DwC-A, or publish to DwC-A and register with GBIF and (8)Java-based web-application runs in standard web servers on Windows, Linux, Unix and Apple OS X.
