Thesaurus digital: Recursos metadata para biología marina

Abstract

To keep abreast of the spanish thesaurus regarding the bibliographic databases publicly available within the Web, a benchmarking search has been conducted. The four universities with Ms.D. studies on marine sciences, the spanish council for scientif ic research (CSIC), the spanish institute for the oceanography (IEO), and the spanish network for the R&D (Network IRIS) have been focused on. The assessment is performed with the vision that there is no f ixed, universal technology transfer process common to all institutions. Financial metrics have been discarded as particular disadvantaged for interdisciplinary research f ields. Instead of this, a helpful reference point have resulted from the thematic groups oriented framing production of externalities. The study indicates the advantages of being able to mount the results of the metadata work on the internet. It presents the thesaurus of Icman (Marine Sciences Institute of Andalusia), as a digital publication available to make sense of the web-based contents on the intranet of the library.
