     Notes
     -----
-     The local_dataset_group_id and gbif_dataset_uuid values have a one-to-one
-     relationship because this allows a dataset series (i.e. multiple versions
-     of a dataset) to be registered with GBIF as a single dataset and displayed
-     from a single URL endpoint on the GBIF system.
-
-     The rgstrs dataframe is used to check if a gbif_dataset_uuid value already
-     exists for a local_dataset_group_id. If a gbif_dataset_uuid value already
-     exists for a local_dataset_group_id, then the existing gbif_dataset_uuid
-     value is returned. If a gbif_dataset_uuid value does not already exist
-     for a local_dataset_group_id, then a new gbif_dataset_uuid value is
-     created and returned.
