Regist Data Step

Data Extraction

- Extract data from MBRIS that is suitable for OBIS classification.
- Verify key elements of the extracted data, such as species information from the providing institution, spatial information, and collection date.
- Conduct necessary discussions for registering the extracted data.

Quality Check of Extracted Data

- Perform pre-validation of spatial information through verification of coastline positions.
- Verify species names according to WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species).
- Conduct Darwin Core validation.
- Additional quality checks may be performed as needed.

Data Registration

- The validated data is registered with OBIS through IPT.
- During the IPT registration process, data matching with OBIS fields and metadata input are performed.
- The registered data undergoes an internal verification process by OBIS before being published on OBIS.

Accessing Registered Data

- The registered data in OBIS can be accessed through the OBIS website.
