The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) is the world's most comprehensive online, open-access database of marine species distributions. OBIS grows with millions new observations every year. Contributions come from a network hundreds institutions, projects and individuals common goals: to build scientific knowledge base that open public for discovery exploration detect trends changes inform society as essential elements in conservation management sustainable development. Until now,...
The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) began in 2000 as the repository for data from Census of Marine Life. Since that time, OBIS has expanded its goals beyond simply hosting to supporting more aspects marine conservation (Pooter et al. 2017). In order accomplish those goals, secretariat partnership with European node (EurOBIS) hosted at Flanders Institute (VLIZ, Belgium), and Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) Committee on International Data Exchange (IODE, 23rd...
Data providers in the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) network are not just recording species occurrences, they also sampling methodology details and measuring environmental biotic variables. In order to make OBIS an effective data sharing platform, it needs be able store exchange these such a way that can easily interpreted by end users, as well tools which will created search, analyze visualize integrated data. makes use of Darwin Core Archives (DwC-A) for exchanging between...
The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) aims to integrate smaller, isolated datasets into a larger, more comprehensive picture of life in our oceans. Therefore, OBIS provides gateway many containing information on where and when marine species have been observed. within are contributed by network hundreds institutes, projects individuals, all with the common goal gain scientific knowledge make these data easily available public. Until recently, had solely focused biogeographic...
The Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) is responsible for the set-up of LifeWatch Taxonomic Backbone (LW-TaxBB), as a central part European Infrastructure. LW-TaxBB aims to (virtually) bring together different component databases and data systems, all them related taxonomy, biogeography, ecology, genetics literature. By doing so, standardises species integrates biodiversity from repositories operating facilities driving force behind information services Belgian LifeWatch.be e-Lab Virtual...
