| Abstract |
The BROKE-West fish dataset (Australian Antarctic Data Centre 2022) originates from the BROKE-West voyage, a survey conducted in a data-poor area of the Southern Ocean in 2006. This dataset forms part of the baseline biodiversity assessment of the Cosmonaut and Cooperation Seas.The dataset was initially published in 2008 as a single flat Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) occurrence table without extensions. Although the original dataset contained valuable occurrence data, it omitted much of the sampling context, including survey design, target scope, and material relationships. In 2016, the dataset was reused to test the extended MeasurementOrFact (eMoF) extension developed by Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) (De Pooter et al. 2017), which enabled the inclusion of environmental and biological measurements (Van de Putte 2016). In 2023, the Humboldt Ecological Inventory extension (TDWG Humboldt Extension Task Group and Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) 2024) was applied to describe the survey design and scope, linking each trawl to its survey targets and sampling context (Van de Putte et al. 2025). |
