Hi again, may be it's best if we put together the available infrastructure of the project.

Currently my main questions are: Do we have access to a server from where I can access the processed geo data? And also processed taxonomic data?

Can we store profile information on a server? Or only query GBIF API for an existing profile?

Do we upload data directly to GBIF or via one of our servers?

The GBIF servers provide APIs which give access to the data.

I don't have access to any servers for the project.

What do you mean by profiles? There are no user profiles on GBIF as far as I am aware.

We would not want to upload data to GBIF directly I think, instead we would want to sent it to a local (national) organisation for verification. In the UK this could be the national recording schemes or societies, or iRecord?
