The challenge
• SIS must accommodate data on a huge variety of organisms
• Data requirements are not yet fully defined– New data sets may need to be managed– New data sets may be needed for future
products
• Incomplete predefined output (e.g. products to be defined)
The challenge
• Define a minimum common denominator for all the information requirements of SSC
• Create a modular data structure to accommodate future needs
The concept
• Species are central to all SSC information– Taxonomy is the main “authority list” of SIS
• SIS is centred around a minimum set of “information objects” common to all taxa
• More information can be added by adding new “information objects”
The concept
• Authority lists are:– Lists of keywords on a specific topic– A way to standardise information– A way to enable control of the information
added to the database
The concept
• Information objects are:– Self-contained pieces of information, e.g.:
• The species habitat description
• The species geographic range
• …
– The way SIS implements modularity in the data structure
The concept
• SIS minimum set of information objects:– Red Listing Data
• Population data
• Geographic range
– Habitat requirements
– Conservation actions
– References

Taxonomy
Primary key to access information
Objects containing different types of information
Status
• Data structure implemented in Access
• All of the core information objects have their structure in SIS
• Plans to migrate the structure under Oracle to enhance future compatibility
Web enablingOverview
• The Web Enabled SIS builds on the existing data structure of the stand alone SIS software package
• It will enhance the existing functionalities of SIS to support concurrent access, data currency and broader accessibility
