Modelling ecological data
Peter J. Barclay, Jessie Kennedy · Research Output (Edinburgh Napier University) · 1992
Ecological surveys generate large quantities of data; database technology has not yet reached its fullpotential in this area. Here we investigate approaches to modelling ecological data, considering the require-ments for a successful model. An object oriented conceptual model is presented, and applied to the resultsof an actual survey. A data management system based on this object oriented approach is briefly described.
