Fetching records from NBN Atlas, validating data quality,

This may take several moments depending on the number of records.

Record Cleaner Reporting for NBN Atlas Data

About this tool

This tool validates and checks plausibility of species occurrence records from the NBN Atlas using the BRC Record Cleaner Service.

What it does:

  • Validation: Checks record format, dates, spatial references, and taxon names
  • Rules based checking: Tests records against biological rules (distribution, phenology, period)
  • Export: Generates a CSV with original data plus validation/rules check results

Note: This is a demo and as such, we limit the numbers of records sent to the BRC Record Cleaner Service to 100.

What's next:

  • Add ability to select the BRC rules to apply.
  • Any requests? Contact me!

What gets checked
Validation
  • Species name recognition
  • Date format and validity
  • Spatial reference accuracy
  • Coordinate system validity
Rules based checking
  • Distribution (is species known in this area?)
  • Phenology (is date within flight/active period?)
  • Period rules (extinction/first recording dates)
  • Identification difficulty scoring
  • All Record Cleaner rules are applied.
Tips
  • Currently limited to 200 records for demo purposes
  • Only records that pass validation will be rules checked
