Aggregated Data: Environmental Monitoring and Observations Effort

Aggregated metadata on environmental monitoring and observing activities from three Australian national research infrastructures (NRIs): biodiversity survey events from the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/), marine observations collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and site-based monitoring and survey efforts by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/). This dataset provides a summary breakdown of these efforts by survey topic, region and time period from 2010 to the present.\r\n\r\nSurvey topics are mapped to an EcoAssets Earth Science Features vocabulary based on the Earth Science keywords from the Global Change Master Directory (GCMD, https://gcmd.earthdata.nasa.gov/KeywordViewer/) vocabulary, modified to use taxonomic concept URIs from the Australian National Species List (ANSL, https://biodiversity.org.au/nsl/) in place of the GCMD Earth Science > Biological Classification vocabulary. ANSL categories map more readily to biodiversity survey categories, since GCMD depends on a top-level division between vertebrates and invertebrates rather than offering an animal category. The EcoAssets Earth Science Features vocabulary, including alternative keywords used in ALA, IMOS or TERN datasets, can be downloaded from https://doi.org/10.26197/w2a2-6s86.\r\n\r\nTo find out more about this dataset visit: https://ecoassets.org.au/data/aggregated-data-environmental-monitoring-and-observations-effort/\r\n

本数据集整合了来自澳大利亚三大国家研究基础设施（National Research Infrastructures，NRIs）的环境监测与观测活动聚合元数据：分别为澳大利亚生物多样性地图集（Atlas of Living Australia, ALA，https://ala.org.au/）收录的生物多样性调查事件、综合海洋观测系统（Integrated Marine Observing System, IMOS，https://imos.org.au/）采集的海洋观测数据，以及陆地生态系统研究网络（Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, TERN，https://tern.org.au/）开展的站点式监测与调查工作。本数据集按调查主题、区域及2010年至今的时间跨度，对上述工作进行了汇总分类。

调查主题基于全球变化主目录（Global Change Master Directory, GCMD，https://gcmd.earthdata.nasa.gov/KeywordViewer/）词汇表中的地球科学关键词，映射至EcoAssets地球科学特征词汇表；并将原GCMD「地球科学>生物分类」子词汇替换为澳大利亚国家物种名录（Australian National Species List, ANSL，https://biodiversity.org.au/nsl/）提供的分类概念统一资源标识符（Uniform Resource Identifier, URI）。相较于GCMD仅以脊椎动物与无脊椎动物作为顶级分类维度，ANSL的分类体系更适配生物多样性调查的分类需求。包含ALA、IMOS及TERN数据集所用替代关键词的EcoAssets地球科学特征词汇表，可从https://doi.org/10.26197/w2a2-6s86下载获取。
