Description: The validator online at tools.gbif.org validates the taxon id terms for a matching coreid which is correct for checklist archives. But it also does this for occurrences which is just wrong. Pensoft is having trouble with that and they use the validator via its API programmatically, stopping them to publish these datasets.
