Welcome to the ESA Data Registry. This is a publically accessible registry
48
describing <b>scientific data sets on ecology and the environment</b>.  In this
49
context, we refer to a data set as the collection of data tables and objects
50
that are associated with a study, experiment, or monitoring program.  Exactly
51
what constitutes a data set is determined by each submitter.
52
Credit for the data sets in this registry goes to the investigators who
53
collected the data -- see each individual registry entry for citation and
54
attribution information as well as usage rights.

      The registry search system is used to locate data sets of interest
88
      by searching through existing registered data sets.  
89
      Presently the search covers all fields, including
90
      author, title, abstract, keywords, and other documentation
91
      for each data set.  Use a '%' symbol as a wildcard in searches
92
      (e.g., '%biodiversity%' would locate any phrase with the word
93
      biodiversity embedded within it).

      The registration page is used to submit information about a <b>new</b>
107
      data set regarding ecology or the environment.  The documentation about 
108
      the data set will be submitted to the Registry.  You (and only
109
      you, or your designee) can return to edit the entry
110
      at a later point in time to add to or correct the
111
      description.  You can also use other tools such as <a
112
      href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/morphoportal.jsp">Morpho</a> to
113
      further document the set of data and directly attach the data to the
114
      registry entry.
