Database Integration

Database integration will collect many existing, resource databases by placing them on a managed, common hardware/software platform within integrated data structures. This involves developing and implementing data standardization, data entry and reporting procedures. It will create authoritative data dictionaries of nomenclature and bibliographic information linked to diverse collection, observational and spatial data. It will be delivered through either centralized or distributed systems and will be subject to standard procedures to protect data integrity, security and access rights. These developments will enable more effective resolution of within- and between-database queries.

Database integration will necessarily be an iterative and ongoing process, and initial emphasis is on treatment of existing data and the standards used for them. In the medium term we will fully employ data standards that are consistent with wider, national and international standards. Additional, smaller databases will be brought ‘into line’ as future resources allow.

Although we aim to fully enable web-based access, we see data delivery on a date-stamped CDROM as an acceptable and in some cases inevitable interim option, especially for downloading large datasets.

Data quality and integrity are paramount

We increase transparency in data quality assurance through mechanisms such as authority tables, meta-data about origin, ownership, method of collection, and the level of precision of data.
