Data Standards

 

 

Learn more

UK biodiversity data standards ensure the consistent collection, management, and sharing of biological and environmental data.

Data standards emphasise quality, interoperability, and accessibility, aligning with frameworks like MEDIN and Darwin Core. These standards support research, policy-making, and conservation efforts by enabling reliable data exchange and integration across organisations.


MEDIN Metadata Editor

Discovery metadata is a list of information that accompanies a data set and allows other people to find out what the data set contains, where it was collected and how they can get hold of it.

MEDIN have produced a standard for marine metadata and a set of tools to create metadata records that comply with the MEDIN Metadata Standard.
You can create, validate and publish your metadata using the MEDIN Metadata Editor. 

If you need support you can contact the MEDIN helpdesk medin.metadata@mba.ac.uk
