International Conference on Marine Biodiversity Data Management
Document Actions
We know very little about the biodiversity in the world’s oceans. But one thing is sure: the diversity of the type of data and information that is stored in data systems around the world is increasing dramatically. While well-managed databases with global coverage used to be restricted to geophysical sciences, this is no longer true. In two important meetings, the first in Hamburg in 1996, the second in Brussels in 2002, biologists have discussed how to take an example from the physical oceanographers, and to formulate plans on how to work together to integrate individual databases. In the workshop held in Hamburg in 1996, discussions were held on how to improve the quantity and quality of chemical and biological data available to the scientific community. The specific purpose of the workshop was to provide recommendations to guide management of chemical and biological oceanographic data by the Programme on International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC).
