Free. No account. Your records are discarded after the response — we keep only
the anonymous column-shape mapping.
What we refused to interpret
Two of your columns say the same thing — which one did you mean?
Their names both point at a Darwin Core term and their values cannot
separate them, so we refused rather than guess. You can read them in a second; we cannot.
Leave one blank and it stays refused — that is a valid answer.
Your file is sent once more and discarded again. We
keep your answer as an anonymous column-shape label — never the column, never a value.
Tell us where we were wrong — and where we were right
Every question below names one of your columns and one Darwin Core
term. Answering is optional and it is never a survey.
An answer that survives our own checks takes money off this file; one that
does not costs you nothing. Saying “your refusal was right” earns
nothing on purpose — there is nothing for us to check it against, and we will not pay for
an answer we cannot adjudicate.

A .zip containing occurrence.txt,
meta.xml and eml.xml — the format GBIF ingests, unchanged.
Your file is sent once more to build the archive and is discarded again
the moment it is returned. We keep nothing between these two steps — which is why the
download re-sends the file rather than fetching one we stored.
