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.
  • Check whether it is an independent entry. If duplicated merge with the selected and entry and close this issue.
• [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 link http://www.biol.uoa.gr/zoolmuseum was under construction. Changed with a working but it has many other websites: http://en.biol.uoa.gr/museums-gardens/museum-of-zoology.html. Added logo and coordinates.
• Added a new contact to the GRSciColl from the publisher's page.
• Added one collection from a Google scholar search using (key words: ZMUA+collection):
  • TheThe Avian Collection of the Zoological Museum of the University of Athens (ZMUA). Interestingly it has been already published as DwC by LifeWatchGreece in the BDJ journal but the endpoints are not working. Contacted the helpdesk to discuss options for publishing to GBIF.

1. The following occurence seem to be correctly linked: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4510798321 and it seems to be from an insect collection

   • [ ] Link manually to the collection!

2. The second occurrence: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4426899380 should be matched to the Zoological Museum of the University of Amsterdam (ZMA), and these collections are now integrated in Naturalis Biodiversity Centre (Naturalis). However, they used the code of the current institution (ZMUA). Authors contacted on 8. Oct.

   • [ ] I proposed the author to send a correction note and replace ZMUA with ZMA. Check with the authors whether they agree to send a correction note

• [x] Write to the insitution to offer to publish the avian collection on their behalf.
• [ ] Write to separately to introduce GRSciColl
