Metadata: 2007 Important shore species and habitats around Shetland
Abstract:
This map shows the locations of important (those protected under the Habitats Directive) shore species and habitats. Features of relevance in Shetland include rare plants, caves and sand dunes. The SSMEI Biodiversity Working Group decided on the destinction of rare coastal plants (separated into sub groups of coastal, Ruppia, and terrestrial) and the SSMEI mapped the data from the original spreadsheet provided by the Shetland Biological Records Centre. The data source for sand dunes was extracted from the LCS88 (Macaulay Institute) which was then scrutinised by the SSMEI Biodiversity Working Group and new dunes added. As much of the coast is unsurveyed for caves, the OS MasterMap was used. Text was extracted from this map and converted into data points by the SSMEI pilot.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 3384 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2007 Important shore species and habitats around Shetland |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 55062342a2bc7c355c9cb058bf7bde0b |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | SSMEIShetland-18 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1990-11-30 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2007-12-15 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The Scottish Sustainable Marine Environment Initiative (SSMEI) Shetland pilot created this map based on orginal data held and monitored by the Shetland Biological Records and the LCS88 dataset created by the Macaulay Institute. Local expert advice was provided through the SSMEI Biodiversity Working Group on deciding the destinction of rare coastal plants, and on sand dunes extracted from the above dataset. "Important" species and habitats were determined by the Working Group and based upon legislation and of national and local importance. As much of the coast is unsurveyed for caves, the OS MasterMap was used. Text was extracted from this map and converted into data points by the SSMEI pilot. |
