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). ...

GeoCASe (Geosciences Collection Access Service) is an extended version of BioCASE (Biological Collection Access Service), which is a transnational network of biological collections of all kinds, using an XML-based ABCD ("Access to Biological Collection Database") schema. For our purpose the ABCD schema was extended to ABCDEFG ("ABCD Extended for Geosciences"). Making geosciences collection data openly and universally available to foster scientific research development internationally and to support the public use of these data are the goals and principles of GeoCASe. ...

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 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 Biocean database was designed to collate the extremely large volume of data collected from different deep-sea ecosystem studies conducted by Ifremer’s department of ‘Environnement Profond’ (Deep-Sea Environment). Biocean was designed to facilitate ecosystem studies in the deep sea. It represents an important new resource for deep-sea ecologists and will have wide applications in biogeography and biodiversity studies at Ifremer, but also for the international community, as faunal data are linked to the Census of Marine Life information system OBIS (Ocean Biogeographic Information System). ...

The long term (ten year) objectives for data management within the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) are to: a) Transform collections of Australian research data into a cohesive network of research repositories, b) assist Australian research data managers to become experts in creating, managing and sharing research data under well formed and maintained data management policies, c) increase the amount of research data that is routinely deposited into stable, accessible and sustainable data management and preservation environments, d) Provide opportunities for people to develop expertise in data management across research communities and institutions, e) enable researchers to find and access any relevant data in the Australian 'data commons', f) enable Australian researchers to discover, exchange, reuse and combine data from other researchers and other domains within their own research in new ways and g) facilitate the sharing of Australian data to support international and nationally distributed multidisciplinary research teams. ...
