In 2019, development started for the eurobis R package, to serve as an easy to use interface to download EurOBIS data in R. Currently, the main functions and documentation are being developed and are working, but need some further testing and user feedback before it can be officially released.

GeoServer publishes data from any major spatial data source using open standards. GeoServer implements several Open Geospatial Consortium protocols including Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS), Web Coverage Service (WCS) and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS). Additional extensions are available for Catalogue Service (CSW) and Web Processing Service (WPS). The VLIZ GeoServer is used to publish the EurOBIS database through EMODnet-Biology, in addition to data products. EurOBIS http://www.eurobis.org/ The European Ocean Biodiversity Information System – EurOBIS – is an online marine biogeographic database EurOBIS compiles data on all living marine creatures. The principle aims of EurOBIS are to centralize the largely scattered biogeographic data on marine species collected by European institutions and to make these data freely available and easily accessible. All data go through a number of quality control procedures before they are made available online, assuring a minimum level of quality necessary to put the data to good use. data access The maintenance and further development of the eurobis R package relies on financial contributions, the time contributed by its editorial board, and support of its host institution: VLIZ. The eurobis R package is currently funded through the LifeWatch Belgium project. https://github.com/lifewatch/eurobis/issues https://github.com/lifewatch/eurobis WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link eurobis Github https://www.eurobis.org/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link EurOBIS website
