[Nhcoll-l] Publishing Vertebrate Paleontology data through IPT and Federal land requirements

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi all

We are in the process of publishing all KU collections data through IPT to publish to GBIF and other portals.  A question has arisen regarding the publishing of vertebrate paleontology data and an issue of publishing exact localities.  I am not a paleo person and so was wondering if anybody had any insights into this issue.  Are there any Federal regulations (in the BLM) or elsewhere that prohibit the publishing of locality data to the outside world?  What are other vert paleo collections doing when publishing data online?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Andy
