How can I be sure that all my BCD data will get into Biotics?
A. One of the most important things you can do is to run the QC programs accessible at http://www.natureserve.org/prodServices/biotics/biotics-learn-more.jsp#impl prior to conversion. The automated batch QC will find data that will not get either (1) out of BCD into XML, or (2) from XML into the Biotics database. In addition, there are several checks not included in the batch QC that should be donesee the Data QC home page at http://www.natureserve.org/prodServices/biotics/biotics-prep-checklist.jsp for a list of manual processes (such as the check to make sure all records have valid keys) as well as other fields that should be examined.
