Meta information on Marine Biodiversity data sets
BIOMARE has collected meta information on 221 datasets in Europe. This information is now consolidated into a relational database of MarBEF's data system. The meta data are now linked to MarBEF's geographical system, the European Marine Gazetteer and to MarBEF's register of resources, which links these metadata to people, institutes, publication references and projects.
To submit information on existing Marine Biodiversity datasets, please use the submission form on MarBEF.
- Microsoft Access 2000 mdb file - download
- Use the Save Target As... option and type in the name
data2000.mdb
As part of the project a inventory of existing long term or
large scale biodiversity monitoring datasets will be made. In
addition a list of regional species inventories will be collated.
The information that will be gathered will not include
actual data but meta-information about the location, sampling
strategy, parameters of the programmes or datasets, where the
information is held and who the person to contact is to access it.
Likewise information of species inventories will be collected
identifying the range of information available, the region covered
and where it can be accessed.
