  • Issues in the design of GIS databases for biodiversity assessments

    Creator:
    Minotti, Priscilla Gail
    Abstract:
    National and international organizations are developing spatial databases to assess the distribution of Biodiversity using geographic information systems (GIS). Currently, there are no guidelines or standards for building GIS databases for biodiversity assessment because database design is discipline-dependent and most biodiversity disciplines lack spatial traditions. The present research analyzes the...
