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

Changed the title to "Taiwan Forestry Research Institute" to includes other type of collections, not only the insects

@ManonGros Here is only a part of the collection dataset on GBIF : https://www.gbif.org/dataset/51b39c28-ce6f-4c7f-ba01-261748411e31 Should it be linked to GrSciColl?

And here is another one published by a third party: https://www.gbif.org/dataset/79ae93e0-a2b8-11de-9f79-b8a03c50a862

The collections have been published by a third party before (TELDAP) and the institution registered as a publisher few years after.

@melissa0520 yes let's link the specimen-occurrences to GRSciColl! The dataset Flower visiting insects of Melastoma in Taiwan is mostly human observations so I don't think it would fit GRSciColl (physical collections).

I see the institutionCode used in the Taiwan Forestry Research Institute dataset is FACT (see this example: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1572144448). I added it as an alternative identifier to the institution. On Friday, I will reinterpret the dataset and that should be enough to link the occurrences to the GRSciColl entry.

Unrelated, but I noticed that two institutions had now the same name: https://registry.gbif.org/institution/search?name=Taiwan%20Forestry%20Research%20Institute

@ManonGros Thanks for checking! I think I was confused on the property of dataset Flower visiting insects of Melastoma in Taiwan , now I am more clearer about what would fit GRSciColl.

About the same name of the two institutions, @ckotwn and I discussed before and he will change the title for the Herbarium one (https://github.com/gbif/collection-mobilization/issues/1407)
