The discoverability of types in JSTOR Plants is easier than in GBIF, so a portal might help people find the equivalent records in GBIF more easily. It’s also still worrying that there are records in JSTOR Plants that are only available there.The discoverability of types in JSTOR Plants is easier than in GBIF, so a portal might help people find the equivalent records in GBIF more easily.

GBIF portals won’t work because, as far as I know, they require the data to be in GBIF and queryable using their API. I don’t want to add data to GBIF, so much as add an annotation (the JSTOR barcode identifier).GBIF portals won’t work because, as far as I know, they require the data to be in GBIF and queryable using their API.
