This study integrated diverse Greek biodiversity data, making it discoverable and queryable. The LifeWatch Greece portal now connects previously isolated information for broader scientific use.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Biodiversity Informatics
  • Data Integration

Background:

  • Biodiversity data is inherently cross-disciplinary, featuring diverse data types, structures, and semantic concepts.
  • Information on Greek biodiversity is fragmented across numerous heterogeneous sources, hindering accessibility and connectivity.
  • Existing data repositories lack integration, presenting challenges for comprehensive biodiversity research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the fragmentation and heterogeneity of Greek biodiversity data.
  • To develop a unified platform for accessing and analyzing biodiversity information.
  • To enhance the discoverability and query capabilities of biodiversity datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Cataloguing and publishing metadata for the Greek biodiversity domain.
