The objective of this database is to provide information on all topics relevant to marine sciences - be it people with their expertise, institutions and their mandate, publications,... Different types of 'knowledge items' correspond to different modules in the system, each with their own entry into the database (...). Information relevant to marine sciences in the Flanders, or to the southern part of the North Sea, is actively pursued. (...) Information from further afield is also stored, and users are welcome to comment, but the VMDC will not actively go and look for this information.Different search screens defined at this moment are: Person / Institute / Publication / Journal / Conference / Project / Dataset. ...

The PLANKTON*NET data provider at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research is an open access repository for plankton-related information. It covers all types of phytoplankton and zooplankton from marine and freshwater areas. PLANKTON*NET's greatest strength is its comprehensiveness as for the different taxa image information as well as taxonomic descriptions can be archived. PLANKTON*NET also contains a glossary with accompanying images to illustrate the term definitions. PLANKTON*NET therefore presents a vital tool for the preservation of historic data sets as well as the archival of current research results. Our OAI-PMH compliant data provider represents a node within the distributed repository architecture originally planned in EU-funded project "Plankton*Net" (visit www.planktonnet.eu). This repository, together with the other other planned nodes (planktonet@roscoff and planktonnet@lisbon) are being harvested daily by a service provider specifically dedicated to the task of disseminating plankton-related records to a vast audience (visit www.planktonnet.eu/portal). In addition, we are currently working on making Plankton*Net repositories also harvestable by GBIF using the BioCASe protocol. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Baltic Sea Alien Species Database is an interactive tool, which includes the following information retrieving options: "Database Search", "Baltic Sub-regions" and "Species Directory". The information comprised in the Database comes from: a) members of the Baltic Marine Biologists Working Group on Non-indigenous Estuarine and Marine Organisms and other researchers involved in invasive biology studies; b) published papers, environmental reports, grey literature, Internet sites; c) the Database Questionnaire. The Database contains following information: Taxon - Phylum/division or class ... ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The objective of the IODE/JCOMM Ocean Data Portal (ODP) is to facilitate and to promote the exchange and dissemination of marine data and services. The ODP provides the full range of processes including data discovery, evaluation and access, and delivers a standards-based infrastructure that provides integration of marine data and information across the NODC network. The ODP V1 provides on-line access to the distributed marine data at operational and delay-mode time scales, of various processing levels (observation, climate, analysis and forecast), across oceanographic and marine meteorological disciplines, and from multiple data source formats and storage systems (database systems, data files (structured and non-structured) and web-applications). ...
