A collection in Research Data Australia is an aggregation of physical or digital objects.
ANDS recommended vocabulary for collection types is:
catalogueOrIndex: a set of resource descriptions describing the content of one or more repositories or collective works
collection: aggregated items created as separate and independent works and assembled into a collective whole for distribution and use
registry: a group of descriptive objects collected to support the business of a given community
repository: a collection of physical or digital objects collected for information and documentation purposes and/or for storage and safekeeping
dataset: collection of physical or digital objects generated by research activities.
ANDS Data Providers may utiltise their own collection types.
Collection:
Water Quality dataset, Great Barrier Reef
Type:

Brief description:
Each collection station is denoted by date, latitude and longitude. The data were sampled at several depths at each site: the number of samples was primarily, but not always, dependent on bottom-depth. A unique identifier has been assigned to each replicate.
Variables: depth, dissolved inorganic phosphate (DIP), silicate, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), temperature, salinity, particulate nitrogen (PN), particulate phosphorus (PP), particulate organic carbon (POC), zooplankton, total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), Chlorophyll a, phaeophytin, Secchi disk. Weather information is recorded on swell and wind.
Information about the methods used are in the Data Quality section of this metadata record.
Region Marker. Marks the centre of a region of coverage on the map (i.e. a polygon defined by a series of latitude/longitude pairs). The region of coverage is indicated by a red semi-opaque polygon within a red boundary.
Place Marker. Marks the location of a place on the map (defined by a latitude/longitude pair).
The first 25 search results with supported coverage data are displayed on the map
