Inland water macroinvertebrate occurrences in Flanders, Belgium
The Flemish Environment Agency (VMM) is performing biological water quality assessments on inland waters in Flanders (Belgium)
since 1989 and sediment quality assessments since 2000. The water quality monitoring network is a combined physico-chemical
and biological network, the biological component focusing on macro-invertebrates. The sediment monitoring program produces
biological data to assess sediment quality. Both monitoring programs aim to provide index values, applying a similar conceptual
methodology based on the presence of macro-invertebrates. The biological data obtained from both monitoring networks are consolidated
in the VMM database. The dataset published contains: 283,141 records of 207 observed taxa from 4,152 monitoring sites located
on more than 669 different water courses. The data are distributed to the public domain under the Creative Commons CC-BY license.
The data in this sampling event resource have been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format
for sharing biodiversity data. It contains a core table with the events (23,829 records) and two related extensions with occurrences
(305,353) and measurements (109,122). An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The IPT archives
the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download here: https://ipt.inbo.be/resource?r=vmm-macroinvertebrates-events

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. |
