Saltabel - Orthoptera in Belgium
The Saltabel dataset deals with grasshopper and cricket occurrences in Belgium. The data are largely gathered by volunteer
naturalists, who also reviewed and digitised data from existing museum and university collections in Belgium. Input in a database,
feedback to observers, validation and database maintenance were cared for by a professional employee at the Institute for
Nature Conservation (IN). The Saltabel (Salta < Saltatoria; bel > Belgium) working group was established in 1989. The purpose
of this project was mainly to collect information about the distribution, faunistics and ecology of grasshoppers and crickets
in Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. The working group produced a newsletter which appeared irregularly in the period
1989-2002 with the intention to inform observers about latest findings, interesting observations, ecological research etc.,
provide feedback to naturalists and to raise awareness about the conservation value of Orthoptera in general. During this
periode, the working group was most active and organised annual weekends, in turn organized in Belgium, the Netherlands and
sometimes also northern France . These weekends were intended to perform inventories for badly prospected regions and to stimulate
knowledge exchange between collaborators. In 1997, a standard work on the grasshoppers and crickets of The Netherlands was
published using data from this project (Kleukers et al. 1997). In 2000, a provisional atlas and red lists of grasshoppers
and crickets in Flanders , Brussels and Wallonia was published (Decleer et al. 2000), providing the first major output of
this faunistic project for Belgium. As a consequence, the interest for grasshoppers and crickets in conservation increased,
as these insects became important indicators of natural quality and successful nature management. After this milestone, the
working group lost some incentive, the network of volunteers was no longer professionally supported and Saltabel became less
active. In 2006, a dedicated survey was organised in Brussels Capital Region through the SaltaBru project, greatly increasing
the number of records for this region. More recently, Saltabel became a study group of the Flemish NGO Natuurpunt and the
working group revived with numerous activities and a growing number of recorders involved (http://www.saltabel.org). Since
2011, the online encoding platform http://www.waarnemingen.be is promoted and used for online reporting of records. Since
2012, the focus of the working group was put on enhancing the knowledge of threatened species in Flanders, with dedicated
surveys prospecting historically known locations of e.g. Stenobothrus stigmaticus, Stenobothrus lineatus and Ephippiger ephippiger.
The database described here, however, does not contain these recent records. The Netherlands are currently also working on
a new atlas through waarneming.nl (http://www.waarneming.nl/sprinkhaanatlas_start.php).

dct:description | Dit applicatieprofiel beschrijft Open Data Catalogi in Vlaanderen. DCAT-AP Vlaanderen (DCAT-AP VL) is een verdere specialisatie van DCAT-AP. De applicatie waarop dit profiel betrekking heeft is een Open Data Portaal in Vlaanderen. Open Data portalen zijn catalogussen van Open Data datasets. Ze hebben als belangrijkste doelstelling het vindbaar maken van data en hierdoor het hergebruik ervan te stimuleren. Open Data portalen vervullen een centrale rol in de overheidsopdracht om de toegankelijkheid tot overheidsinformatie te realiseren. Met dit applicatieprofiel bevorderen we de uniformiteit van de beschikbare informatie over datasets. Tevens vereenvoudigen we het aggregatie proces van meerdere Open Data Catalogi. Dit document bevat de verplichte elementen en bijkomende elementen waarover DCAT-AP Vlaanderen een uitspraak doet. Aanbevolen en optionele informatie waarvoor geen bijkomende afspraken in de context van DCAT-AP Vlaanderen zijn, zijn niet opgenomen in dit document. Hiervoor verwijzen we naar de DCAT-AP specificatie zelf. |
