Environmental and nature conservation data at a glance
The scope of the National Center for Environmental and Nature Conservation Information at the German Environmental Agency (Umweltbundesamt, UBA) is to provide central access to data and information. The purpose of umwelt.info is to enable users to find all data and information from the fields of environmental protection and nature conservation. The dashboard shown here depicts, how many datasets, data sources and data providers have already been incorporated into umwelt.info. Users can find metadata of data sources which have been included via application programming interfaces (API) (so called harvesting). In case no API is available, structured metadata are being generated by obtaining information from website contents (so called scraping).
