Official manual for the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT), the free, open-source Java application used to publish biodiversity datasets to the GBIF network. Covers complete workflow: installation and configuration, creating resources, uploading source data (CSV, database connections), mapping data fields to Darwin Core terms, entering dataset metadata using EML, validation, publishing, and DOI assignment. Includes guidance on Event Core for sampling-event data (recommended for freshwater monitoring), checklist resources, occurrence datasets, and material entity data. The IPT produces Darwin Core Archives (DwC-A) and registers datasets with GBIF.org. Essential tool for SABIF-affiliated publishers in South Africa and for FBIS data integration with the global GBIF network.
