Conversion tools to create ColDP archives from various online sources not readily available otherwise. The conversion is fully automated so it can run in a scheduler.
To build the jar (once) and then generate a WCVP archive with it:
mvn package -pl coldp-generator -am
java -jar coldp-generator/target/coldp-generator-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -s wcvp
Currently the project supports ColDP generators for the following sources:
- AntCat: An Online Catalog of the Ants of the World
- Birdlife: Handbook of the Birds of the World and BirdLife International Digital Checklist of the Birds of the World
- ICTV: ICTV Master Species List (MSL)
- IPNI: The International Plant Names Index (IPNI)
