Update: rev2

(This revision was accepted on May 2013)

Summary of updates

  • Data files have been updated.
  • Data structure has been modified to simplify update processes.
  • Variables including "Taxonomic ID", "Date created" and "Last updated" are added to species-wise information table ("TaxonList.csv") for understanding changes in taxa and future taxonomic revisions.
  • Bio-Volume data are shown in a single column and taxa are shown in each row instead of the first row in data files ("Kasumi_Phyto_Sta3.csv" and "Kasumi_Phyto_Sta9.csv").
