Annotation Tool

  • A simple tool has been built to record annotation of data sets during the meeting. The tool can be found here, but may not be operating all the time (e.g., when my computer goes to sleep).

Notes:

  • The majority of types of GCE Web-accessible datasets are represented above
  • Might consider using "derived" data from Worm et al study (Impacts of Biodiversity Loss on Ocean Ecosystem Services, Science, Nov 3, 2006); see here for supporting material containing data and references.
