Workflow employed for the review and annotation of selected marine invertebrate records in BOLD. A subset of targeted invertebrate taxa was created from the initial list downloaded from WoRMS. This list was cross-referenced with the available taxonomic list from BOLD. Subsequently, only public BOLD records assigned to a BIN were integrated in datasets and screened with two analytical tools (BIN discordance report and neighbour-joining (NJ) tree). Records deemed to be uncertain were annotated with four pre-established tags: MIS-ID (misidentification, mislabeling or contamination), AMBIG (ambiguous record), COMPLEX (species complex), SHARE (barcode sharing between species). Records suspected to be misidentified or contaminated were annotated and subsequently removed by the BOLD team from the BOLD identification engine (BOLD IDS). Records deemed reliable were not annotated.
