A 'profile' is a group of filters that are pre-applied by the ALA. Using a data profile allows a query to be filtered quickly to the most relevant or quality-assured data that is fit-for-purpose. For example, the "ALA" profile is designed to exclude lower quality records, whereas other profiles apply filters specific to species distribution modelling (e.g. CDSM).
Note that only one profile can be loaded at a time; if multiple profiles are given, the first valid profile is used.
For more bespoke editing of filters within a profile, use
filter.data_request()
.
See also
show_all()
and search_all()
to look up available data profiles.
filter.data_request()
can be used for more bespoke editing of individual data
profile filters.
