To minimize time necessary to find, collect and analyze all required data and information, it is desirable to have them loaded into the integrated data and information management system (InDIMS). Up-to-date information system has to provide as well a connection with the correspondent data providers and data centers around the world for on-line data exchange and verification. This approach allows providing the scientist with the most recent data and information. This approach is only possible for the web based systems. A prototype of such system is being created now in the Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas (IBSS, Sevastopol, Ukraine). For the moment it includes 4 main components: 1) Metadatabase of marine expeditions performed by the IBSS scientists on board of the IBSS research vessels and the vessels of other institutions. 2) Institutional database (DB) that includes the data ever collected by the IBSS scientists. 3) Electronic repository that contains all IBSS scientists' publications available in the digital form. 4) Black Sea marine species atlas developed based on WIKI technologies [under development]. Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas has huge amount of different multidisciplinary datasets collected since 1871. At the moment only part of them is digitized. The wast majority of digitized data was included to information products developed based on OceanBase database management system (OceanBase has been supported at the Database Laboratory of the Marine Hydrophysical Institute). The main disadvantages of these types of user interfaces and DBMS are that they are platform-dependent , it is very difficult to add new datasets to the system and support all desktop copies up-to-date. Utilization, support and synchronization of the common vocabularies are also a very difficult task and exchange of information and sharing of data-bases is limited. IBSS database management system (http://data.ibss.org.ua/) is being filled with all data ever collected by the IBSS scientists. It has been built on the up-to-date web technologies with a transparent and intuitively clear interface. The system provides a user with the following services: - Selection of the multidisciplinary data within the required geographical region. - Verification of the taxonomic information. - Integration in the international systems of the data and metadata exchange. - Fast estimation of the state of environment according to the different criteria. - Data visualization (vertical profiles, maps, etc.). - Export of data in formats suitable for the further analyzes and visualization in different systems such as ODV (Ocean Data View), Surfer, Excel, DIVA GIS etc. The metadata is fully accessible for the entire scientific community although the data themselves are accessible after the registration. Some of them are restricted and can be obtained only directly from the originators. IBSS metadatabase is the major part of the institutional DB (http://data.ibss.org.ua/). It gives the detailed information on the data collected by scientists and permits to request the similar metadata on the expeditions performed by other institutions. This possibility exists due to the integration of the institutional DB to the international system of the research cruises information (ROSCOP/CSR). IBSS electronic repository (http://repository.ibss.org.ua/dspace/) is the information system that provides a possibility to collect, store, index, search, automatic exchange of the scientific publications description and context, and free exchange of them via Internet in the international standards. At the moment the electronic repository exists as the separate system but it will be integrated in the InDIMS early next year. Recently (December 2007) IBSS electronic repository contains 394 publications and their number is growing fast. The additional role of the IBSS electronic repository is as well to make the publications of the IBSS scientists (especially from “gray literature”) accessible to the entire scientific community and to make the IBSS “more visible” within the international scientific community. One of the main advantages of InDIMS is a possibility to integrate together not only metadata but also data themselves with an additional information from different resources. For example, one can obtain geographical information on the data with detailed metadata, information about person responsible fro the particular data and appropriate bibliographic references which can be accessible on-line. InDIMS allows combining together many entities from different sources on one page automatically. And number of entities for possible integration is growing continuously. IBSS InDIMS has been created by the IBSS DB management team and it is being supported and permanently updated by this team. <br> Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:58:59 GMT http://repository.ibss.org.ua/dspace/handle/99011/429 title: Сезонная динамика мейобентоса зарослей цистозиры в бухте Круглая authors: Колесникова, Е.
