Description: Our data are in GBIF through VertNet and Arctos. We noticed with the new portal that there is no link back to the original record in Arctos, nor to associated media. VertNet provides a link back through the individualID, but that is not one of the fields that is displayed in the new GBIF portal. Likewise, media are linked back through AssociatedMedia in VertNet, but there are no media links in GBIF. The Arctos community consists of 60+ collections and over 1.8M records, and there is a strong feeling that records in GBIF and other external sites should link back to the original record in Arctos. We would like to push for the addition of these two fields (individualID, AssociatedMedia) that GBIF is getting from VertNet data so that the links are displayed in the GBIF record. Thanks. Carla Cicero (VertNet PI and Chair of the Arctos Advisory Committee).
