Expert review of iNaturalist identifications of Australian millipedes in GBIF

<p>This tab-separated file (&quot;millipede_review.txt&quot;) is derived from the &quot;verbatim.txt&quot; file in a Darwin Core archive downloaded 2023-03-24 from GBIF (DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.jtpncb">https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.jtpncb</a>). The 2029 records in the download are &quot;Research Grade&quot; <em>iNaturalist</em> observations of millipedes observed in Australia. Encoding is UTF-8.</p> <p>The dataset has the following Darwin Core fields from &quot;verbatim.txt&quot; and my added fields (fieldnames in capitals):</p> <p>gbifID = GBIF occurrence record code; record accessible as https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/[gbifID]</p> <p>catalogNumber = <em>iNaturalist</em> observation number; record accessible as https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/[catalogNumber]</p> <p>scientificName = the taxon identification made on the <em>iNaturalist</em> platform and accepted by GBIF</p> <p>IDCHECK = my assessment of the identification (see below)</p> <p>COMMENT = my explanation for doubting an identification (see below)</p> <p>recordedBy = the name used for copyright assignment by the original observer on <em>iNaturalist</em></p> <p>USERNAME = the<em> iNaturalist</em> username of the original observer</p> <p>RGID1 = the <em>iNaturalist</em> username of the first person to suggest the final, accepted identification</p> <p>RGID2 = the<em> iNaturalist</em> username of the second person to suggest the final, accepted identification</p> <p>RGID3 = the <em>iNaturalist</em> username of the third person to suggest the final, accepted identification</p> <p>RGID4 = the <em>iNaturalist</em> username of the fourth person to suggest the final, accepted identification</p> <p>RGID5 = the<em> iNaturalist</em> username of the fifth person to suggest the final, accepted identification</p> <p>I reviewed the images and image sets on <em>iNaturalist</em> that are referred to in these records between 2023-03-24 and 2023-04-02. I classed the <em>iNaturalist</em> identifications in the IDCHECK field as follows:</p> <p>correct - The image clearly shows the diagnostic characters of the taxon</p> <p>likely - &nbsp;The ID is probably correct, but I can&#39;t be sure because diagnostic characters aren&#39;t clearly visible in the image</p> <p>possible - &nbsp;The ID might be correct, but the image isn&#39;t good enough to distinguish the identified taxon from another, similar taxon</p> <p>unlikely - &nbsp;The ID is probably incorrect because the image appears to show a different taxon, although diagnostic characters aren&#39;t clearly visible</p> <p>incorrect - &nbsp;The image clearly shows the diagnostic characters of a different taxon</p>
