Existing databases and dataset repositories on marine abiotic and biotic resources in the Emilia-Romagna Region

This dataset, specifically developed for the aims of the project “Ecosystem fpr Sustainable Transition in Emilia Romagna” (Codice: ECS_00000033 – CUP: B33D2101979006; Missione 04 Istruzione e ricerca – Componente 2 Dalla ricerca all’impresa Investimento 1.5 – NextGenerationEU), aims to review, and analyse the organisation, availability, and accessibility of a large amount of data and information on marine abiotic and biotic resources readily usable for scientific and management purposes that are produced in and/or concern the Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy). In this view, the dataset provides a census and review of existing public repositories and databases available at different levels (e.g., regional, national, European, and international) and serves as a valuable foundation for enhancing the integration and utilisation of data from various web data portals. Each repository and database are analyzed, highlighting their characteristics and the application of the FAIR guiding principles.
