GBIF clusters for iNat records

General
1

Those who are familiar with GBIF could check an experimental feature which highlights possible duplicate and/or related occurrences.

At the moment, 174,688 iNat observations are clustered with other GBIF-mediated records. That’s really awesome to see herbarium vouchers for the iNat records automatically and unmistakenly selected by GBIF.

Wow! That’s really amazing!

Just for interest I checked one of my several thousand records that occur in both iNat and a national fungarium collection data-set, and they don’t get linked. In fact I can’t find any that are linked.
e.g. this …
Occurrence 2802601372 (gbif.org)
and this …
Occurrence 1944425399 (gbif.org)

So what is it that stops those being flagged as likely the same?

These two records are clustered: https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1944425399/cluster

ok - got it - I wasn’t clicking on the cluster tab.
