Currently only Specify 6 has the ability to export data for use in the web portal but Specify 7 users also wish to take advantage of the web portal as the public face for their collection.
@benanhalt can this be implemented similarly to the "Export to CSV" button in Query builder?
Should it be available for all records or only for CO and dependent tables?
Are arbitrary mappings allowed, or is there specific schema that is accepted by the web portal?
Yeah it would mostly reuse the export to CSV mechanism. The portal exports also contain other information that has to be dealt with to implement this feature, though.
I think the webportal assumes it is dealing with collection object data, but otherwise it is pretty flexible about the mappings, I think.
As @benanhalt said, this should be relatively straightforward given enough time. I am happy to work with any developer looking to solve this issue.

This should be automatic for web portals hosted on Specify Cloud.
Currently, it takes a decent chunk of time and labor from us to update these instances.

Ben: since it now accepts CSV it should be quite a bit easier!!

For future reference:
Specify 6 has a remote pref webportal.PROCESS_WEBLINKS that is related to this
