OA-ICC - Easy Filtering Application

How to filter datasets

Go to the page “Filter datasets”. You have the possibility to:

Filter by keywords
Click on “Spatial information”, “Experimental information” and/or “Biological information”, you will see bar plots showing the number of datasets tagged with each keyword and under each category. Click on these keywords to filter the datasets you are interested in. The list of keywords with explanations is available below. Regarding “Targeted species”, you can select the names from the popup menu or enter the species name(s) in the search window.
Filter by publication year and/or dataset author
Click on “Bibliographic information”, and then click on search window under “Publication year” or “Dataset authors”, select the years or author names from the popup menu or enter year/author name in the search window.

The number of results displays beside the “Selection” button.

You can restart your selection at any time by resetting all filters individually (click on “Reset” at the right corner of each bar plot or search window) or by clicking the button “Reset all filters” at the upper-left corner of the page.

Download matching datasets

Once you have finalized your selection, go to the page “Selection”.

Right to the tab name, you will see the number of datasets selected. From the list, you could select the entries individually by clicking on the check boxes, or select all the entries by clicking on the first check box at the top. Once you have finalized your selection, you can click on “Download selection” to save the matching datasets as a single zip file on your local disk.

Unzip this file to get data files in separate folders. These data files can be opened using a text editor or any spreadsheet program such as Excel or OpenOffice.

View dataset on PANGAEA

On the page of “Selection”, click on the Id of dataset, you can see the dataset on the Pangaea webpage. More instructions on viewing dataset on Pangaea are available at the “Data description” and “Visualize and download data” parts on https://wiki.pangaea.de/wiki/Project_data_management/OA-ICC.

How to cite the data compilation

To cite this data compilation, please use similar wording to the example below: “For this study, we relied on the data compilation from the IAEA Ocean Acidification International Coordination Centre (OA-ICC).”
