Welcome to the NCEAS Data Registry. This is the primary source for comprehensive information about scientific and research data sets collected within or under the auspices of NCEAS.

 

This project is an effort of the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) and is based on software developed by the Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB), and houses metadata that are compliant with Ecological Metadata Language (EML).

 

Credit for the datasets in this registry goes to the investigators who collected the data, and also to the NCEAS working groups and scientists who compiled the data for synthetic purposes. See each data package for a list of the people and institutions involved.

 

Registry Tools

  • Browse existing NCEAS data sets
    The registry search system is used to locate data sets of interest by searching through existing registered data sets. Presently the search covers all fields, including author, title, abstract, keywords, and other documentation for each dataset. (More sophisticated search capabilities, including boolean field searches, will be available in future.)

  • Register a new NCEAS data set
    The registration page is used to submit information about a new data set associated with NCEAS research. The documentation about the data set will be reviewed and then submitted to the Registry.
