This metadata record has been created to describe a commercial CD product of the Expert Center for Taxonomic Identification. This CD has in no way been produced by the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD), and the metadata record is only intended as a reference for AAD employees. From the CD booklet: The Macrobenthos of the North Sea - Keys to Mollusca, Brachiopoda, Ploychaeta, Nemertina, Sipuncula, Platyhelminthes and miscellaneous groups was constructed by Mario de Kluijver, Sarita Ingaluso, Rykel de Bruyne, Andre; van Nieuwenhuijzen and Huub Veldhuijzen van Zanten. The Macrobenthos of the North Sea project was initiated by the Expert Center for Taxonomic Identification (ETI) and the Zoological Museum at the University of Amsterdam. It provides users with a complete and up-to-date catalogue of macrobenthic species, including reliable stadardised identification guides. In a series of CD-ROMs the biological diversity in the shallow-water macrobenthos of the North Sea (down to 100m) is documented. Volume 1 of this series contains detailed information on 525 species of the phylum Mollusca and the phylum Brachiopoda, including fully illustrated picture keys, glossaries of used terms and interactive distribution maps of the phylum Mollusca. Volume 2 of this series contains detailed information on 651 species of Polychaeta, Nemertina, Sipuncula, Platyhelminthes and miscellaneous groups (Priapulida, Echiura and Pogonphora), including fully illustrated picture keys, glossaries of used terms. The Expert Center for Taxonomic Identification (ETI) is a Non-governmental Organisation (NGO) in operational relation with UNESCO, dedicated to the production of scientific and educational computer software for the preservation of knowledge concerning the worlds plants and animals. ETI is supported by The Netherlands Government, the University of Amsterdam, UNESCO, and other international organisations. It cooperates with major scientific institutes around the world.
