This is the the Coastal Wiki Marine Species Traits vocabulary. It is still in an early experimental phase. All terms and their definitions have yet to be stabilized.
As part of the EMODnet project (http://bio.emodnet.eu/), a standardised species attributes vocabulary is being developed so that selected European marine species can be tagged with relevant attributes information and be made available through the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) and the EMODnet biological portal.

Add a new Marine Species Concept
A concept can by any trait which is connected to other traits in an hierarchical manner. To create a new marine species concept you need to type the name of the page where the concept will be stored into the mstConcept form. Marinespecies traits pages always need to contain the prefix Traits:, and will be followed by a suffix which will also be used to create the URI of the concept. When typing in the pagename of an existing concept the autocomplete will list existing pages. It is recommended not to use interpunction or spaces in the suffix of the pagename. For instructions on using the form see here.
Add a new Marine Species Collection
A collection is a way of grouping traits of certain similar characteristic.To create a new marine species collection you need to type the name of the page where the collection will be stored into the mstcollection form. Marinespecies traits pages always need to contain the prefix Traits:, and will be followed by a suffix which will also be used to create the URI of the collection. When typing in the pagename of an existing collection/concept the autocomplete will list existing pages. It is recommended not to use interpunction or spaces in the suffix of the pagename. For instructions on using the form see here.
The following collections already exist: Biological Descriptors, Distribution Descriptors, Ecological Descriptors, Species Importance To Society
