GBR Coastal Management (Land use, management, economic, planning, biodiversity) metadata catalogue (NERP TE 9.4, JCU)

This dataset corresponds to a database of datasets that are relevant for the development of coastal development scenarios and impact assessments GBR. It corresponds to a list of all the datasets that were sourced as part of project 9.4. It contains basic information about each dataset along with the license that each dataset was obtained under and where the data can be sourced. This database is an excellent starting point for any others looking at obtaining data relevant for coastal management.\r\n\r\n\r\nMethods:\r\n\r\nDatasets were sourced from a large and various. They are presented in the database in their raw condition as downloaded or obtained. The database includes all metadata that was associated with them. The database is currently hosted on a server at the Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University as is backed up weekly.\r\n\r\n\r\nFormat:\r\n\r\nCoastal_zone_GIS_database.xlsx\r\nThis is an excel file containing name and full description of all datasets. Each row corresponds to a different GIS file (either shapefile or raster). When dataset can be downloaded from a website with or without an open access licence, the link is included. For others, the best contact point is included.

本数据集为一套数据集数据库，相关数据服务于大堡礁（Great Barrier Reef，GBR）的沿海开发情景构建与影响评估工作。该数据库收录了项目9.4所获取的全部数据集清单，包含各数据集的基础信息、获取时所遵循的许可协议，以及数据的获取渠道。对于任何需要获取沿海管理相关数据的研究者而言，该数据库都是极佳的入门资源。

方法：
数据集采自广泛且多样的渠道，数据库中所有数据均保留下载或获取时的原始状态，并收录各数据集关联的全部元数据。该数据库目前部署于詹姆斯·库克大学（James Cook University）珊瑚礁研究卓越中心的服务器，并每周进行备份。

格式：
Coastal_zone_GIS_database.xlsx
该Excel文件收录了所有数据集的名称与完整说明，文件中每一行对应一个独立的GIS文件（shapefile或raster格式）。若数据集可通过网站下载（无论是否带有开放获取许可），文件中将包含对应的下载链接；对于无法通过公开链接获取的数据集，文件中将提供最佳对接联络方式。
