Inconsistency between data in GOLD and data from bioregistry

[sujaypatil96]

A cursory evaluation of a biosample record from GOLD and the same biosample record from bioregistry:

Case 1: GOLD

See that for biosampleGoldId="Gb0239939", we have sampleCollectionTemperature set to NULL.

Case 2: bioregistry

Follow this link to find the corresponding bioregistry record: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biosamples/samples/SAMEA7724289

You'll see that there is temperature is set to 32 degree celsius.

What is the reason for this inconsistency between the same records in the two places? Is GOLD not up to date?
