How to report a data/dataset issues in OBIS portal?

Hi,

I believe the following is the preferred way to report an issue of a dataset in OBIS portal:

Where does this report go? Is it the OBIS Secretariat? Does the OBIS Secretariat then follow up with the dataset’s contact or the node manager?

What other ways can user report an issue for an Occurrence record?
Thanks a lot!

This goes to the helpdesk, and we follow up with the node manager. I’ll add a bit of text on that form. This is the preferred way for now, but an annotation system would be better in my opinion (there is no public record of data issues and no way to track which issues have been solved).

I just wanted to say thank you so much @pieterprovoost!

I have written the post How to provide feedback on GBIF/OBIS data - biodiversity.aq and it is by pending review by Anton before putting it out in production.

I fully agree with you with the annotation system 1000%!

@ymgan would you mind if I repost this on GBIF.US once it’s public? It’s very helpful and nice to have it centralized for those of us who represent both networks.
