Description: The RB - Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden Herbarium Collection dataset http://www.gbif.org/dataset/4300f8d5-1ae5-49e5-a101-63894b005868 has some fairly horrible duplication, probably due to changing identifier schemes.

For example, http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1209009797 is specimen urn:catalog:JBRJ:RB:1035747 of _Tovomita iaspidis_ L.Marinho & Amorim. But there is also http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1325550277 RB01035747 of "Clusiaceae". Looking at the verbatim record this latter occurrence is also _Tovomita iaspidis_ (but GBIF hasn't parsed the name) and looks to be the same record (RB 1035747). Note also that the second record has multimedia which is not shown, perhaps because the URL doesn't start with http[s].

I'm guessing that this problem is widespread in the dataset...?
