e-Atlas

The eAtlas is a website, mapping system and set of data visualisation tools for presenting research data in an accessible form that promotes greater use of this information. The eAtlas will serve as the primary data and knowledge repository for all NERP Tropical Ecosystems Hub projects, which focus on the on the Great Barrier Reef, Wet Tropics rainforest and Torres Strait. The eAtlas will capture and record research outcomes and make them available to research-users in a timely, readily accessible manner. It will host meta-data records and provide an enduring repository for raw data. It will also develop and host web visualisations to view information using a simple and intuitive interface. This will assist scientists with data discovery and allow environmental managers to access and investigate research data.

eAtlas乃一综合性网站、地图系统和数据可视化工具集，旨在以易于获取的形式展示研究数据，从而促进该信息的更广泛使用。eAtlas将作为NERP热带生态系统中心所有项目的主要数据与知识库，这些项目聚焦于大堡礁、湿热带雨林以及托雷斯海峡。eAtlas将捕捉并记录研究成果，并以及时、便捷的方式向研究用户开放。它将承载元数据记录，并为原始数据提供一个持久的存储库。此外，eAtlas还将开发并托管网络可视化，以简单直观的界面浏览信息。这将有助于科学家进行数据发现，并允许环境管理者访问和研究研究数据。
