A service that aims at verifying the species names (performing the taxonomy check) by using the input file SIA.csv. It represents the Step 1 of the Crustaceans Workflow within the Internal Joint Initiative.

This service aims to be a citizen science portal where users can contribute with images of Glacier Lagoons in Sierra Nevada and its surroundings.

This is a portal providing information at the species level: description, vernacular names, taxonomical rank, image galleries, literature, and DNA information. Currently, the Portal contains information for more than 151,000 species.

The size class distribution web service allows to visualize the distribution of phytoplankton in different size classes selected on the basis of logarithmic values of biovolume or carbon content. The service works on datasets structured according to the Phytoplankton Data Template that can be selected by the GUI or uploaded by the researchers. The input file is in CSV format with some mandatory fields (density, biovolume or cell carbon content). Before selecting or uploading the input file, users have to specify some parameters (e.g., the trait to be used for the ranked distribution, the logarithm base, the spatial and temporal levels for the clusterization of data). The web service provides as output a zip file containing a summary table in csv format and one or more bar plots according to the selected clusters.

worrms is a R client for the World Register of Marine Species REST webservices (http://www.marinespecies.org/rest). The aim of a World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms, including information on synonymy. While the highest priority goes to valid names, other names in use are included so that this register can serve as a guide to interpret taxonomic literature. The content of WoRMS is controlled by taxonomic and thematic experts, not by database managers. WoRMS has an editorial management system where each taxonomic group is represented by an expert who has the authority over the content, and is responsible for controlling the quality of the information. Each of these main taxonomic editors can invite several specialists of smaller groups within their area of responsibility to join them.

Following the FAIR principles and best practices, the LifeWatch ERIC Training Catalogue hosts the metadata of relevant learning resources so that these can be shared, searched, discovered, accessed and reused. The LifeWatch ERIC training catalogue’s accurate and descriptive metadata allow all users to find the most appropriate and well-suited educational resources for their needs. Metadata are based on a subset of the IEEE Standard for Learning Object Metadata (IEEE 2002). The detail page of each single metadata record includes all the descriptive information and, on the right side of the page, a button “Start the course” that allows to access the resource and hence to start the training.

This service aims at creating an OTU table with species information that can be processed by WoRMS and WRIMS (steps 7 and 8). It represents the Step 6 of the ARMS Workflow within the Internal Joint Initiative.

Portal to explore records in specific regions such as Protected Natural Areas, Provinces, National Biogeographical Regions, Special Protection Areas (SPA) and Natura 2000.

This service aims at getting the ARMS collection file from the IMIS database. Since the URL of the ARMS file changes each time the file is updated, and this update is transmitted to the IMIS metadata record, it is necessary to always access the URL of the file from the field in the json format of the IMIS metadata record rather than via a fixed URL. This service represents the Step 1 of the ARMS Workflow within the Internal Joint Initiative.

This service aims at creating a vector from the coordinates in the “Pop_troph_SIA.csv” file and convert it into a shapefile. It represents the Step 3.1 of the Crustaceans Workflow within the Internal Joint Initiative.
