Here we outline the genesis of Seamap Australia, which integrates spatial data of the seabed of Australia's continental shelf (0-200 m depth) from multiple sources to provide a single national map layer of marine habitat. It is underpinned by a hierarchical classification scheme with registered vocabulary, enabling presentation of nationally consistent information at the highest resolution available for any point in space. The Seamap Australia website enables users to delineate particular areas of interest, overlay habitat maps with many other marine data layers, and to directly access the data and metadata underlying the maps they produce. This unique resource represents a step-change in capacity to access and integrate large and diverse marine data holdings and to readily derive information and products to underpin decision making around marine spatial planning and conservation prioritisation, state-of-environment reporting, and research. It is a world first fully integrated national-scale marine mapping and data service.
在这里，我们概述了澳大利亚海图的起源，该图整合了来自多个来源的澳大利亚大陆架海底（0-200 米深度）的空间数据，以提供单一的国家海洋生境地图层。它以注册词汇的分层分类方案为基础，能够以任何空间点可用的最高分辨率呈现全国一致的信息。澳大利亚海图网站使用户能够划定特定的感兴趣区域，将生境地图与许多其他海洋数据层叠加，并直接访问他们生成的地图所依据的数据和元数据。这个独特的资源代表了在访问和整合大型和多样化的海洋数据存储以及轻松获取信息和产品以支持海洋空间规划和保护优先级、环境状况报告和研究决策方面的能力取得了重大进展。它是世界上第一个完全集成的国家级海洋测绘和数据服务。
