Marine Realms Information Bank

The Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB) is a distributed geolibrary that catalogues and provides organized access to information about the coastal and marine environments. The MRIB has three components: the database which is a collection of the metadata profiles associated with the referenced information objects.; the sorting engine that sorts the metadata on the basis of the chosen criteria, and the web interface which is the web site through which the outputs of the sorting are made available to users. The MRIB's Web interface is laid out in three sections listed susequently. The Selection Menu allows users to select one or a combination of information categories to search. The Search History Menu allows users to see the already selected categories, and if needed to change them; and The Content Cell displays the search results in map or table form. The pan and zoom map displays the locations of the areas of study and links directly to the remote information sources.
