1. Find out if the information is complete and up to date:

• [x] Check the homepage if available or google the institution name in the country. Check if all collections for that institution are represented in GRSciColl.
• [x] Add missing collections/information to the institution on GRSciColl directly in the registry. If some collections are digitized, put the information in the GRSciColl Notes field.

2. Check if the data is also in GBIF:

• [x] If there are GBIF occurrence records linked, check from which dataset/publisher they come. Is the institution a registered publisher? Or do the records come from a third party publisher? Are all the collections in GRSciColl also in GBIF? (add comments to the issue)
• [x] If no record is linked to GRSciColl, look for the institution name on the GBIF list of publishers. Is there any corresponding publisher? Have they published any data? (add comments to the issue)
• [x] If data has been published on GBIF but isn’t linked to GRSciColl, notify Marie (tag ManonGros), she can link the data.
• [x] Translate outcome of your checks into labels. See guidelines here: https://github.com/gbif/collection-mobilization#readme

• The missing collection from Natural History Museum is added to GRSciColl under the institution Tribhuvan University as 'Museum Collection'.
• There are two data publishers from Tribhuvan University: Central Department of Botany and Natural History Museum and they both have published data in GBIF.
• The occurrence records published by the Natural History Museum needs to be linked with the institution. Here is the link to the occurrences from the institution: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?publishing_org=8134c12f-82b7-4b34-8667-62de220ef290 @ManonGros
• All collections from both data publishers are not yet published in GBIF. Only a part of botanical specimens from both and none of the zoological specimens from the museum are published.
• There is a separate zoological collection under the Central Department of Zoology, Tribhuvan University, which is not yet published to GBIF. I have added the collection under the same institution.

Thanks Lily for tagging me! I prepared what is needed to link occurrence records to GRSciColl but we will need to wait until the end of the week for the GRSciColl cache to are refreshed.

Unfortunately, I forgot to add something when linking the occurrences to the institution So the linking won't happen right away. I will co-assign myself on the issue until the linking is working.

The occurrences are linked to the institution

• The institutions under Tribhuvan University are separated in the institutional level since they work as an individual entity and it would be easy and convenient to track their collection mobilization status.
• TUCH is a registered publisher in GBIF and they have published some data. Link to their occurrences: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?publishing_org=378aeef6-0f33-441e-ac27-e94d4de734e4
