>> Dear colleagues,
>>
>>
>>
>> We are very happy to present to you Marine Regions, an online standard list
>> of georeferenced marine place names, areas, regions, marine and maritime
>> boundaries.
>>
>>
>>
>> Marine Regions is created by merging information from the VLIMAR Marine
>> Gazetteer and the MARBOUND database. These initiatives provide information
>> on marine place names and on different marine and maritime boundaries,
>> including the World Exclusive Economic Zones. The system defines different
>> relations between the geographic objects (similar to, part of, adjacent to…)
>> allowing the user to group joint geographic units and to create a
>> hierarchical classification of different places. In order to preserve the
>> identity of the marine geographic objects from the database, and to name and
>> locate the geographic resources on the web, we maintain a persistent Marine
>> Regions Geographic IDentifier, or the MRGID. The information is freely
>> available and can be accessed through several web services which allow the
>> user to have direct access to the geographic data, maps and metadata.
>>
>>
>>
>> Marine Regions is initiated by the Flanders Marine Institute. With the
>> launch of Marine Regions, we are also aiming at the establishment of an
>> international editorial board, responsible for the content, quality control
>> and promotion of Marine Regions. You can apply for membership by sending
>> your contact details, interest and proposed contribution to
>> [email protected]
>>
>>
>>
>> Looking forward to welcoming you at www.marineregions.org,
>>
