The Monitoring of invasive alien plants in the LIFE RIPARIAS areas in Flanders, Belgium is a sampling event dataset generated by Landmax (https://landmax.be) and published by the Agency for nature and forests (ANB) (Flanders, Belgium). The data are collected in the context of targeted monitoring on watercourses and ponds within the river basins of the Dijle, Zenne and Mark, during the summer of 2022. Only invasive alien species are presented in this dataset. The data are published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each sampling event record an event ID, location, date and time (in the event core), supplemented with information about the occurrence of a species and its abundance (in the occurrence extension) and any measurements associated with the occurrence (in the measurements or facts extension).Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/riparias/anb-plants-occurrences/issues

Targeted monitoringQuality Control
All inventarisations are performed and controlled by people with sufficient biological knowledge.Method steps
- The source data for this standardized sampling event dataset is an Excel spreadsheet managed by the Agency for Nature and Forests.
- This data file was uploaded to a github repository (https://github.com/riparias/anb-plants-occurrences/tree/main/data/raw).
- We developed an RMarkdown (https://github.com/riparias/anb-plants-occurrences/blob/main/src/dwc_mapping.Rmd) and SQL (https://github.com/riparias/anb-plants-occurrences/tree/main/sql) script to document and perform the transformation of the data to Darwin Core, which includes transforming the data to an event core (https://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_event_2022-02-02.xml), an occurrence extension (https://rs.gbif.org/core/dwc_occurrence_2022-02-02.xml) and a measurements or facts extension (https://rs.gbif.org/extension/dwc/measurements_or_facts_2022-02-02.xml).
- The resulting Darwin Core data files are uploaded to the INBO IPT and documented with metadata.
- The dataset is published and registered with GBIF.
