Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Catalogue of Life Data Package (COLDP) format was developed to overcome limitations existing in currently used formats for sharing taxonomic information, namely Darwin Core Archives (DwC-A) and the Catalogue of Life (CoL) submission format also known as the Annual Checklist Exchange Format (ACEF). The tabular text based format, strongly influenced by DwC-A and ACEF, was designed to work with the Frictionless Data Package specification, but includes support for other well established formats like BibTeX and CSL-JSON for literature citations. It is the recommended exchange format for data published to, and downloaded from, the CoL Clearinghouse.
