Workflow to format and submit data to GBIF using ecocomDP as a flexible intermediate data format. All data packages stored in the EDI data repository are assigned digital object identifiers (DOIs), version controlled, and accessible through the EDI data portal. Investigators can (a) submit biodiversity datasets to the EDI repository for publication, which can then be (b) converted to the ecocomDP format using functions in the ecocomDP R library. NEON biodiversity data products can be (c) converted to the ecocomDP format using mappings available in the ecocomDP R library, and we are developing a process to submit the converted data to the EDI data repository. The ecocomDP data packages can then be (d) converted to Darwin Core Archives (DwC-A) that are stored in the EDI repository, which are then (e) submitted to GBIF as sampling event datasets.
