Dear GBIF API users, We are changing the API to access and edit collection and institution entries in the Global Registry of Scientific Collections<https://scientific-collections.gbif.org/> (GRSciColl) (see the current documentation here<https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/v1/registry#/Collections>). These changes will affect scripts and website that use the GRSciColl part of the API, you will need to adapt them.
Here are the changes: * The following fields will be discarded: indexHerbariorum, institution geographicDescription, institution taxonomicDescription, citesPermitNumber (https://github.com/gbif/registry/issues/545) * The following fields are lists: types, institutionalGovernances, catalogueUrls, apiUrls (https://github.com/gbif/registry/issues/550) * The following fields will be using vocabularies<https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/v1/vocabulary> instead of enumerations<https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/#enumerations>: types, institutionalGovernances, discipline, contentType, preservationType, accessionStatus (https://github.com/gbif/registry/issues/549) * The collection “geography” field is renamed “geographicCoverage” (https://github.com/gbif/registry/issues/551) * New fields are added: collection temporalCovergage, featuredImageUrl, featuredImageLicense (https://github.com/gbif/registry/issues/552) These changes are part of the implementation of the GRSciColl road map 2023/2024<https://scientific-collections.gbif.org/road-map>. You can learn more about the GRSciColl developments by watching our latest community call here<https://vimeo.com/936568304>. We will deploy those changes on the 20th of May 2024. Please let us know if you have any question.
