South China Sea Meta-Database
Document Actions
The South China Sea Meta-Database
provides
a central online location for the collation and searching of metadata
regarding coastal habitats and fisheries in Southeast Asia, and is a
“living” database that is being continously revised and updated online. Development of the SCS Metadatabase is a collaborative effort of the UNEP/GEF South China Sea project, Southeast Asia Regional Learning Centre (SEA-RLC) and the
Southeast Asia START Regional Centre (SEA START RC).
The
South China Sea Meta-Database has now been packaged as a template for other projects
and organisations that seek to develop a similar web-based
meta-database tool. Download the following files for installing and customising the UNEP/GEF South China Sea Meta-Database. Note that the meta database is best viewed using Internet Explorer 6 browser.
REQUIRED FILES:
1. metadata_archive_2nov06.zip OR metadata_archive_2nov06.tar.gz (for Windows and Linux)
This contains the 'metadata' directory, 'metadata.sql', guidelines for installing and customising, and copyright/licencing details of files. The guidlines provide instructions for installing and customising the SCS Meta-Database on Windows (Section 1) and Linux (Section 2) operating systems:
2. phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.tar.gz (for Linux installation)
(More recent versions can be downloaded from: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php Licence: GNU General Public License).
3. appserv-win32-2.4.5.exe (for Windows installation)
(More recent versions can be downloaded from: http://www.appservnetwork.com
Licence: GNU General Public License).
4. You also need to copy a file called 'coolRedirect.js' into the 'metadata' directory - download and unzip 'cool-redirect.zip' from
http://www.codehouse.com/javascript/scripts/cool_redirect/ .
While considerable effort has gone toward making the guidelines as useful and accurate as possible, we welcome constructive feedback on how they might be improved. Users are encouraged to contact us in the case of any error, or to suggest additional information that might be useful. Please forward your comments to SEA-RLC’s Environmental Information Manager, Dr. Richard Cooper , or the South China Sea Project's Fisheries Expert, Mr. Christopher Paterson.
