Joint workshop entitled “Structuring Ecosystem-Based Knowledge” funded by the Packard Foundation and hosted by CHANS lab and PacMARA is taking place on Friday, November 16 at UBC. The goals of the workshop are to (1) design a generalizable representation and definition of social ecological components, their relationships, and key attributes to support marine EBM efforts; and (2) identify what kind of online products or tools would support the functionality of an EBM meta-database or encyclopedia.
