Data has to be organized
The World Wide Web has been also caled the Information
Highway (Bill Gates, 1997)
Example would be
Wikipedia
8 billion words in 19 million
articles in approximately
270 languages
English Wikipedia alone has over 3 804 086 articles
Data services
What kind of services can be offered?
• Download (user friendly, can offer distinct visualizations and options);
• Map services (user like maps);
• Meta data services (normally well described, easy to build);
• Web services (requires advanced users, small maintenance, easy to deploy).

assessment
Multispecies
– integrated repository
of data
– international collection of different kinds of marine related data
– integration of distinct formats previously held in disjointed data structures and systems
Historical plankton
Eggs and Larvae
Fisheries data
Environmental data
What kind of data and services ICES has?
Data is available in ICES main data portal (http://ecosystemdata.ices.dk)
1) For download
2) web services
3) In a map
ICES Data portal – All data is free access
From the ICES data portal all data is free, accessible and downloadable
Web map services
Get the regions from the spatial facility server using WMS
EcoRegions get from ICES Spacial facility server
Web services portal
http://gis.ices.dk/geoportal/catalog/main/home.page
ICES - Web services are organized and documented
Web services portal
Using the web services to download data from DATRAS
Web services
Downloading a data file or a shapefile
From the data portal users can download a text file or a shapefile
EcoRegions get from ICES Spacial facility server
Exercice 1
Please find the Dutch name and species name for the following species:
- Chicharro
- Linguado
- Torsk
Exercice 2
Could you please find the AphiaID for the following species (some of these might be invalid):
- Anabaena lemmermannii
- Anabaena spiroides
- Crangonidae
- Cribrinidae
- Polymorphina lacteal
- Pontocrates arcticus
Exercise 3
Imagine that your line-manager asked you to see check the abundance of “Chicharro” in the Atlantic. Could you download a shapefile from ICES with this species (you can use QGIS to display the shapefile).
Exercise 4
They ask you to tell from the ICES area what is the area with most measurements. Could you download the Layer of ICES Areas from ICES and display it with the measurements of “chicharro”.
Exercise 5
Now you were also approached by a company that would like to build an indicator based on the contaminants found in the liver of “Torsk”, could you check the number of measurements and range in years of Mercury, Aluminium and Cadmium in “Torsk”? (use the inventory of ICES data portal)
Exercise 6
Your line-manager wants to see how he can have access to the ICES trawl survey data. He knows these data can be a good indicator of some species. Could you list to him the web-services of datras.ices.dk?
Exercise 7
Can you download the data of “Torsk” from Eggs and Larvae?
How many lines has the file?
Exercise 8
How would you consume these web services?
Can you consume a webservice from ICES?
Exercise 9
Could you download all the data from “Torsk” from ICES?
The file with all the data is here: http://ecosystemdata.ices.dk/download/JERICO_Torsk.zip
List in an excel spreadsheet all:
-Matrices
-Datasets
-Measurements
