Review current data sets and load new ones from the AADC. Review capabilty for automated harvest and use of API

[sadeghim]

Contacted with AADC to get updated info regarding the new data interface

[sadeghim]

The past interface of the data expose was DiGIR and still is in place with a changed URL. It doesn't function correctly as it shows only metadata about the resources with many PHP errors and warnings.

I asked them about a new interface or a CSV export of the occurrences.

The request been redirected to the developers.

The migration to IPT is started and the data sets will be gradually transferred to the new server. I will update the data resources entries in the Collectory accordingly.
