Expanding the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) beyond species occurrences [PDF]
Proceedings of TDWG, 2017 The Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) aims to integrate smaller, isolated datasets into a larger, more comprehensive picture of life in our oceans. Therefore, OBIS provides a gateway to many datasets containing information on where and when marine species have been observed.

H-OBIS: A Historical Dimension to the Ocean Biogeographical Information System [PDF]
Oceanography, 2000 39 ensuses offer snapshots of a given population at a particular point in time. In presenting a static picture of a dynamic process, such snapshots might reveal much about the composition and spatial distribution of the population in question, but they shed no light on its past development and are therefore unable to illuminate its likely future course.
