An audit of some processing effects in aggregated occurrence records

<p>These files include original and processed data from a study of data filtering by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The study has been submitted for publication on 2018-03-04 as the paper &quot;An audit of some filtering effects in aggregated occurrence records&quot; and details of data sources and processing are in that manuscript. ALA and GBIF sourced occurrence records from the Australian Museum (AM) [Malacology], Museums Victoria (MV) [Entomology] and the New Zealand Arthropod Collection (NZAC). The unprocessed ALA and GBIF data are in the zipped files AM-ALA_download.zip, MV-ALA_download.zip, AM-GBIF_verbatim.download.zip, AM-GBIF_occurrence.download.zip, MV-GBIF_verbatim.download.zip, MV-GBIF_occurrence.download.zip, NZAC-GBIF_verbatim.download.zip and NZAC-GBIF_occurrence.download.zip. The processed data are in a single zip file name_change_tables_and_data_notes_ver_.zip. The processed data are my own work and are here made available under a CCA 4.0 licence.
