How to get data?
- Check contents of the database
to see whether the data you are looking for are available.
- Register by completing the User
Registration Form. A username and password will be mailed to you
within a few days.
- Login and click on
‘Create new request’ on the page where all your requests
are/will be listed.
- Specify the usage of data and your selection criteria
in the request form.
- Also specify the output format : depending on the use
of the data, you can select your preferred output format. The record
format is the most complete format (no averaging takes place), but most
data users need data in a tabular format for processing. Depending on
the level of detail you need, you can select Pivot A (taking into account
differences in analytical method and laboratory) or Pivot B (grouping
different analytical methods for the same parameter). More detailed
information is given in description
of the query output format.
- The results of the search are provided in tab-delimited
text files that can easily be imported in f.e. MSExcel. To understand
all fields, consult the description
of the query output format and the different lists of codes used
in the Documentation.
- Only public data or data of projects for which
access is granted to you (consult data
policy), will be returned. To receive other data, you have to make
a special request that we will pass on to the data originator.
- Data of different types, f.e. parameters measured in
water and sediment, can be linked based on the fields ‘Campaign’
and ‘Event’ (and sampling depth).
- To view your results online on a map, select the query
in ‘your list of request’ and choose ‘spatial analysis’
in the action list. You also need to download and install some software,
as explained in the instructions of spatial
analysis.
