Troubleshooting

Testing Occurrences

There will be a maximum of 3 errors that you can get when creating your DwCA using galaxias. The troubleshooting guide for each is linked next to it:

• Your column names do not comply with the DwC standard.

  This means that some (or all) of your column names do not match terms that are in the Darwin Core standard. To learn how to rename columns so they are Darwin Core-compliant, look at Renaming Columns.

• The values in some of your columns do not comply with the DwC standard.

  Write this later. <LINK HERE>

• You need to add unique identifiers into your occurrences.

  You need to add unique identifiers to each occurrence so they are distinct from other, similar occurrences. To add unique occurrences, go to Adding Unique IDs.
