BDN — Species observation fauna (minimum scale 1:100,000) — dataset

The fauna archive of the Natural Data Banks of the Piedmont Region consists of data relating to reports in the field and bibliography and collection data, and over time has also been enriched with data on birdlife and vertebrates deriving from the Aves Piemonte service. The data are understood as alphanumeric and geographical (georeferentiation of the point where the observation falls).To ensure the maximum dissemination of data, but also to protect the prerogatives of ownership and sensitivity, it was considered necessary to define organically and regulate relations with suppliers and users of naturalistic data outside the Regional Administration, through the preparation of a protocol of “Deontology and rules for the use and access to Regional Naturalistic Data Banks” (D.G.R. n. 23-12615 of 31-05-2004).Access to the dataset in question, which exposes the precise data of each specific observation available through the WFS type of service, is made available through archive. According to Deontology, access is not made available to general internet users but is regulated with individual profiles within the platform of Environmental Knowledge of the Piedmont Region.
