About
This is the the Coastal Wiki Marine Species Traits vocabulary. It is still in an early experimental phase. All terms and their definitions have yet to be stabilized.
As part of the EMODnet project (http://www.emodnet-biology.eu), a standardized species attributes vocabulary is being developed so that selected European marine species can be tagged with relevant attributes information and be made available through the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and the EMODnet biological portal.
The hierarchy of traits has been organised into a series of four "collections" to aid navigation and use.
- [[Biological Descriptors|Biological Descriptors]]
- [[Distribution Descriptors|Distribution Descriptors]]
- [[Ecological Descriptors|Ecological Descriptors]]
- [[Species Importance To Society|Species' Importance to Society]]
The following concepts have not yet been assigned a collection:Brooding, NonBrooding

The Traits Hierarchy has been developed within the European Marine Observation Data Network (EMODnet) Biology project (www.emodnet-biology.eu), funded by the European Commission’s Directorate - General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE).
The Coastal Wiki Marine Species Traits software is based on the setup created by the Biodiversity Information Standards also known as the Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG)
