Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Natural-history museum collections contain large amounts of historical and contemporary data for the assessment of global invertebrate biodiversity. Nevertheless, these data can not be easily accessed due to a series of constrains, including the lack of relative internet-based databases.Towards this end, in the Zoological Museum of the Aristoteleio University of Thessaloniki (ZMAUTH) a new information system is under development on the Decapoda Crustacea collections. ZMAUTH hosts large collections of decapod species from all habitats of the Aegean Sea and other Mediterranean areas. Recently, all these decapod specimens along with information on the habitat from which they were collected were computerized and a dynamic database was created, also suitable for use through the internet. In this database, a complete bibliographic list of the decapod species known from the NE Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea is also included as well as the relevant information on the habitat of each one of them.Furthermore, all literature information concerning the systematics, zoogeography, ecology, biology, conservation and cultural status of every registered decapod species are being computerised in the database.In this study, we demonstrate the procedures through which a user of this database can: (1) acquire the existing literature information for a species or a group of species, (2) acquire new scientific information, (3) assess, through a comparison his own relative data and (4) educate students and young researchers.
