Metadata: Northern Ireland Marine Recorder Database - Collated Marine Species and Biotope Point Data
Abstract:
Species, biotope and physical point data, with accompanying information and metadata for marine surveys and data collection activities conducted within the Celtic and Irish Seas and NE Atlantic Ocean around Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, collated and stored on the Marine Recorder database hosted and maintained by the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording (CEDaR), National Museums Northern Ireland. The Marine Recorder database holds approx. 500,000 species occurrence records from a range of data providers: DAERA Marine and Fisheries Division, Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, Loughs Agency, National Museums Northern Ireland, CEDaR, Queens University Belfast, Ulster University, Seasearch Northern Ireland, Ulster Wildlife, Coast Watch and amateur marine recorders. The complete database is submitted to JNCC biannually and merged into the Marine Recorder UK Snapshot for national reporting as well as monthly to the NBN Atlas (species point data only).
Data holder:
Centre for Environmental Data and Recording, Northern Ireland
Use constraints:
Data marked as Public Access is freely available for research or commercial use providing that the originators are acknowledged in any publications produced. Where data is marked as Restricted the data provider must be contacted via CEDAR to request use of the data. If permission is granted, this may be at a reduced spatial resolution.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 1918 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Northern Ireland Marine Recorder Database - Collated Marine Species and Biotope Point Data |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 836da33635dcf3f12e70f3e94e6e5b6a |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MRCED005 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1900-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2022-07-22 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 10 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |
