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

• One of the collection for this institution SINU was listed as a separate institution collection under the National University of Singapore https://github.com/gbif/collection-mobilization/issues/1370
• Therefore, the institutions were merged in GRSciColl and the collections now are listed under LKCNHM
• After merging now both the collection botanical and zoological are represented in GRSciColl.

• The institution is a registered GBIF publisher https://www.gbif.org/publisher/14c4c7da-fb56-44f7-9589-76bd670bf8a7
• There are 6 datasets with 12702 occurrences published by the institution
• @ManonGros The occurrences from these datasets https://www.gbif.org/dataset/search?publishing_org=14c4c7da-fb56-44f7-9589-76bd670bf8a7 published by the institution needs to be linked to GRSciColl.

I linked the occurrences to the institution, they use the collection code ENT. Should there be an entomology collection? Or should we just add ENT as an alternative code to ZRC?

There is no separate collection as such. Should I add ENT as an alternative code to ZRC?

Yes please @lilee-sh thanks!

• Made a first contact with the institution before to inquire about their collection information to update in GRSciColl. Made the changes according to their reply.
• Sent a second email to check about their interest in more publishing.
