Having not investigated other than to check logs:
{code}
Finished validating DwC-A for dataset [5221e970-757c-43cb-bdd4-2f085bf36ae4], valid? is [false]. Full report [DwcaValidationReport{datasetKey=5221e970-757c-43cb-bdd4-2f085bf36ae4, invalidationReason=null, occurrenceReport=OccurrenceValidationReport{checkedRecords=1965, uniqueTriplets=0, recordsWithInvalidTriplets=1965, uniqueOccurrenceIds=0, recordsMissingOccurrenceId=1965, allRecordsChecked=true, invalidationReason=Archive invalid because [100% invalid triplets is > than threshold of 25%; 1965 records without an occurrence id (should be 0)], valid=false}, genericReport=null}]

Comment: OK, so the data fails to parse because the occurrences lack unique identifiers. How does the user know this? How does the data provider know that their archive has a problem? As far as BioFresh are concerned it's job done, they've uploaded data to GBIF. Any thoughts on adding flags to datasets like this so people can see the problem and fix it? Would be great if we had a staging area (like GitHub) where we could sort these issues out. Won&it it be nice to have little badges on the GBIF repositories flagging data issues (just like we have for software issues). There's lots of interesting data that GBIF is not making the most of :(
