Ocean Biodiversity Information System

The Ocean Biodiversity (formerly Biogeographic) information System (OBIS) seeks to absorb, integrate, and assess isolated datasets into a larger, more comprehensive pictures of life in our oceans. The system hopes to stimulate research about our oceans to generate new hypotheses concerning evolutionary processes, species distributions, and roles of organisms in marine systems on a global scale. The abstract maps that OBIS generates are maps that contribute to the ‘big picture’ of our oceans: a comprehensive, collaborative, world-wide view of our oceans. OBIS provides a portal or gateway to many datasets containing information on where and when marine species have been recorded. The datasets are integrated so you can search them all seamlessly by species name, higher taxonomic level, geographic area, depth, and time; and then map and find environmental data related to the locations.

海洋生物多样性（原生物地理）信息系统（OBIS）旨在将分散的数据集进行收录、整合与评估，以此构建更全面的海洋生命全景图景。该系统致力于推动海洋领域研究，以期在全球尺度下催生关于演化进程、物种分布以及生物在海洋生态系统中作用的全新假说。OBIS生成的概览地图可为构建海洋全景图景提供支撑，即打造一套覆盖全球、兼具全面性与协同性的海洋认知视图。OBIS搭建了统一检索门户，可接入海量收录有海洋物种观测点位与时间信息的数据集。所有数据集均已完成整合，用户可通过物种名称、高级分类阶元、地理区域、水深与时间等维度实现无缝检索，随后可基于观测点位绘制相关地图并获取对应的环境数据。
