Exploring DwC-DP with marine community measurements dataset

Introduction

This is an attempt to map BROKE-West Fish dataset as a marine survey dataset to DwC-DP and explore what information can be retrieve from DwC-DP.

Background

Paper that describes the dataset:

Van de Putte, Anton P., George D. Jackson, Evgeny Pakhomov, Hauke Flores, and Filip AM Volckaert. “Distribution of squid and fish in the pelagic zone of the Cosmonaut Sea and Prydz Bay region during the BROKE-West campaign.” Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography 57, no. 9-10 (2010): 956-967. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr2.2008.02.015

The dataset is originally published as a single Occurrence table at GBIF.

The DwC-DP version of this dataset, which is also the output of this mapping exercise, is available at https://dwcdp-ipt.gbif-test.org/resource?r=broke-west-fish
