Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRFS)
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like220 views
The Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRSF) is an inventory of global stocks and fisheries records from multiple data providers. It assigns unique identifiers to standardized stock and fishery identifications. The GRSF knowledge base collates data and assigns identifiers. It has achieved the development of two virtual research environments and uptake is being considered by the Fisheries Resources Monitoring System partnership. The outcome could include using unique identifiers for product labeling and supporting international goals. The exploitation plan is to gradually populate the GRSF and present it at the FAO Committee on Fisheries in 2018.

Editor's Notes
- #4: The GRSF aims at providing an innovative environment supporting the collaborative production and maintenance of a comprehensive and transparent inventory of stocks and fisheries records that will boost regional and global stocks and fisheries status and trend monitoring as well as responsible consumer practices.
- #11: The "GRSF knowledge base", is an RDF triplestore (semantic warehouse) based on well established ontologies (i.e. MarineTLO)
