Coordinate validation with CoordinateCleaner, taxonomic name resolution — including Dyntaxa vs the GBIF backbone for Swedish material — date parsing, duplicate detection and encoding issues.
Sessions 5 and 6 share one extended, optional hands-on workshop: clean your data, then check it is fit for use. The date is announced with the session invitations.
Data Fika sessions are free, online and open to everyone — 20–30 minutes of presentation followed by about 15 minutes of hands-on work and Q&A. Email gbif@nrm.se to be added to the invitation list, and see the full programme on the Data Fika page.
