  skos:definition """The Global Ecosystems Database (GED) project began in 1990 as an
Interagency project between the National Geophysical Data Center
(NGDC) of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) Environmental Research Laboratory in Corvallis,
Oregon (ERL-C). The primary objective of the project was to
produce a spatially integrated database (including observational
time sequences and model simulation outputs) with high quality
metadata for characterization and modeling support within the US
Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). Datasets were selected
for publication to meet research priorities established by the
EPA/ERL-C and to expand the use of datasets of potential value
to the modeling and applied research community.

Project Goals:

1. Prepare and document important global change research
datasets for intercomparison, verification, further research,
and applied use related to global climate change and landscape
ecology.

2. Integrate and publish these datasets to improve their
transfer between disciplines and to the broadest possible user
base.

3. Collaborate in developing useful ecosystem indices and
meeting data integration requirements of specific user groups

Datasets:

All datasets are provided in integrated Geographic Information
System (GIS) form. In cases where NGDC has authority for
distribution of the original dataset, the complete source
version is provided on the data product in the form it was
contributed. This project thus meets two product requirements:
It provides an integrated version of commonly used global and
regional research datasets related to landscape ecological
characterization and modeling for a variety of uses in various
disciplines; and it distributes original versions of such
datasets contributed to NGDC for public distribution.

GED Datasets are defined by authorship, however they are grouped
by database according to their geographic compatibility. Each
database is defined by geographic coverage, reference system,
and projection. Resolution will vary between global, regional,
and local databases, but may also vary within a database. Link
