Requirement 3: Compliance with GBIF informatics

Compliant with the GBIF Informatics Infrastructure / Architecture. To ensure the interoperability of the NPT with other GBIF tools such as HIT and IPT, NPT should be developed in a manner that is compliant with GBIF Informatics Infrastructure and Architecture. The interoperability of the NPT with other GBIF informatics tools should be aiming at optimizing current development, and ensuring the same standards are adopted and that resulting data flows are kept simple and consistent (i.e. not affecting the data quality of the data system as a whole).  When other informatics tools impose constraints on NPT functionality, NPT developers should communicate those constraints and work in concert with GBIF informatics staff.
