Introduction
GBIF is currently supporting the publication of annotated checklists and nomenclatural data via the GBIF GNA data exchange format. We refer to this target format as a DarwinCore Archive. The data publishing uses cases for GBIF, therefore, all are scenarios where the resultant output is a DarwinCore Archive file.
