DFO-BIO Intro to using robis: Glossary

Key Points

Using `robis` to Get Species Occurrence Data From OBIS
  • OBIS is a highly-accessible global data system of marine biodiversity.

  • Using Darwin Core, OBIS can index diverse data sources and express to end users the presence and abundance of taxa across large spatial, temporal and taxonomic scales

  • The robis package is an R-centric interface to OBIS’s data system.

Bonus: using `spocc` to query many biodiversity data stores at once
