Achievements highlight certain aspects of a dataset that score particularly well, in of itself or compared to other datasets. They are typically based on the dataset metrics we calculate and are provided as gold and silver achievements. It allows the user and data publisher to discover the strenghts of a dataset and encourages the data publisher to strive for good data quality.
This achievement compares the number of occurrences of a dataset with other GBIF-mediated datasets for which we have calculated metrics.
- Colossal dataset: More occurrences than 99% of the datasets on GBIF.
- Huge dataset: More occurrences than 95% of the datasets on GBIF.
Note that until we have calculated metrics for all datasets, this achievement will be granted "too soon".
This achievement is based on the coordinate quality metric.
- Georeferencing perfection: 100% valid coordinates.
- Georeferencing excellence: More than 95% valid coordinates.
This achievement is based on the multimedia metric.
- Multimedia treasure: More than 90% related multimedia (with a valid URL).
- Multimedia gem: More than 80% related multimedia (with a valid URL).
- Achievement based on the completeness of the metadata.
- Achievement based on the license under which the dataset has been published.
- Achievement based on any other metric we implement.
- Breakdown of achievements across certain axes: e.g. biggest herbarium dataset, most taxonomically diverse mammal dataset, etc.
