How will the occurence parquet files change with the move to COL taxonomy identifiers?

Data Use

Currently the simple parquet files provided a taxonKey and speciesKey column that are integers in that point to the backbone taxonomy. How will these columns change? and would someone have a link to a github issue or change announcement?

Thank you

Hi @jervenbolleman

I am not sure how the column will change, since the old backbone taxonomy keys are integers and the CoLXR identifiers aren’t, we may need additional columns.
Please keep an eye on this issue: Adopt CoLXR in parquet downloads · Issue #546 · gbif/occurrence · GitHub Thank you.
