As part of the Census of Marine Life, we will create a taxonomic database to the Hexacorallia (phylum Cnidaria) that adds to the inventory of sea anemones compiled by Fautin (biocomplexity.nhm.ukans.edu/anemones/images/ Version.html), all species of orders Ceriantharia (tube anemones; by Molodtsova), Scleractinia ("stony" or "true" corals; by Cairns and Veron), and Zoantharia (zoanthids; by Ryland). Specimen?based, it will contain three-dimensional distribution data (including geospatial precision of each record) and bibliographic reference to description of each species. In addition to current features, an application by Ardelean will permit retrieval of data by all synonyms of a species, flagging taxonomic and nomenclatural problems. Interacting with this database will be physicochemical and ecological databases important to marine biogeography. The core databases will be those assembled and linked as part of the LJNEP/GEF?funded program within the LOICZ (IGBP) Typology effort (www.nioz.ni/loicz). We will develop and adapt tools to allow interactive analyses of the biological and environmental data, including by visualization on map displays. This project will: link across spatial scales; greatly augment the minimal biogeographic data available for most benthic marine invertebrates; permit formulation and testing of biogeography and biodiversity models; and support forecasting and hindcasting of distribution changes due to environmental change.

作为海洋生物普查的一部分，我们将为六角珊瑚门(Cnidaria门)建立一个分类数据库，将其添加到由Fautin(BioComplity.nhm.ukans.edu/anemones/Images/Version.html)编制的海葵名录中，以及所有目的Ceriantharia(管状海葵，由Molodtsova编写)、Sceractinia(由凯恩斯和Veron编写，为“Stony”或“True”珊瑚)，以及Zoantharia(由Zzoantharia编写；由Rland编写)。以标本为基础，它将包含三维分布数据(包括每个记录的地理空间精度)和每个物种描述的书目参考。除了当前的功能外，Ardelean的一项应用程序将允许按物种的所有同义词检索数据，标记分类和命名问题。与该数据库互动的将是对海洋生物地理学很重要的物理化学和生态数据库。核心数据库将是在LOICZ(IGBP)类型学工作(www.nioz.ni/loicz)内作为LJNEP/全环基金资助的项目的一部分而汇编和链接的数据库。我们将开发和调整工具，以便能够对生物和环境数据进行交互分析，包括通过在地图显示器上进行可视化。该项目将：在空间尺度上建立联系；大大增加大多数底栖海洋无脊椎动物现有的最低生物地理数据；允许制定和测试生物地理学和生物多样性模型；支持对环境变化引起的分布变化的预测和事后预测。
