Generally, the guide is a bit dismissive of the checklists. I think that a lot of the information that is encouraged to be shared (for example the habitat for a given species/life stage) is actually something that could be shared in checklists rather than occurrences. In fact, I would argue that a lot of what we are missing is species information. Having a good comprehensive checklist of freshwater species would help make freshwater data more accessible to users. As mentioned above, the checklist extensions can be used to share a lot of species information.

This statement is not technically correct and should instead be phrased like this:
Please also refer to the appropriate extension for checklist core datasets, such as the distribution extension and the species profile extension (look for keyword = dwc:Taxon for extensions that can be used with taxon core datasets).
