World Asteroidea Database

The core of the World Asteroidea Database (WAD) is derived from the "Asteroid Names List" developed primarily by Ailsa M. Clark. However the WAD is complimented by numerous other echinoderm compendia (e.g., Clark & Downey's Starfishes of the Atlantic, Rowe & Gate's Zoological Catalogue of Australia, etc) and will eventually include all subsequent taxonomic changes and newly described taxa. Data have been contributed to the Catalogue of Life via the WoRMS, hosted by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ).

世界海星数据库（WAD）的核心源于由Ailsa M. Clark主导编纂的《小行星名称列表》。然而，WAD得以补充完善，得益于众多其他棘皮动物综合资料（例如，Clark与Downey合著的《大西洋海星》，Rowe与Gate合著的《澳大利亚动物学目录》等），并最终将涵盖所有后续的税典变更以及新描述的分类单元。数据通过由弗拉芒海洋研究所（VLIZ）托管的世界海洋资源分类系统（WoRMS）贡献至生命目录。
