Description for the VRE: Catalog of data sources in the Ecology and Evolution domain

In addition to the priority, could you please provide us with few lines describing what this VRE is for, i.e. what is the scope?

The VRE is quite urgent, I'm sorry i did not set the option properly. We would like to cite it in a paper that should be submitted by next month.

This VRE will provide a catalog of data sources for the ecology and evolution domain. Its attempt is to facilitate access to and reuse of data in ecology and evolution providing an up-to-date and evolving list of relevant data sources that will likely contain data of interest.

If the summary is too short, I will extend it

As you can see here: https://ckan-ecoevo.d4science.org/ the Data Catalogue shows a Welcome Message: "Welcome to the D4Science Data Catalogue! etc.."
It can be "customized" for VRE EcoEvo.

please @miriam.baglioni@isti.cnr.it and @leonardo.candela@isti.cnr.it, let me know and have this one if you need it

@francesco.mangiacrapa@isti.cnr.it the following could be a possible welcome message. Thank you very much

'Welcome to the catalog of data sources that enable search and access to ecological and evolutionary datasets. The main aim of this catalue is to increase the use of Open Data in ecology and evolution.
The catalogue is an evolving list of these sources, and can be amended by the community members. As the amount of EcoEvo datasets that are freely available online is rapidly increasing, we need a comprehensive list of places where these datasets can be searched for in one interface, speeding up the search process and making it more comprehensive.

Each data source is described with features characterizing the data source itself (such as name and organization) and with features of EcoEvo datasets that the source
hosts or collects information on (e.g. available metadata formats, content reuse policies).

This catalogue accompanies the paper Culina et al. 2017'

@miriam.baglioni@isti.cnr.it @leonardo.candela@isti.cnr.it I just updated the "Welcome Message" shown by EcoEvo Catalogue. You can see it here: https://ckan-ecoevo.d4science.org/
Let me know if It's ok for you

@francesco.mangiacrapa@isti.cnr.it Can I have Manager privileges to the EcoEvo VRE? I ask this because when we need to insert new users who can insert items in the catalogue I could do it by myself.

Done. Let me know if it works

I am among the managers, but I do not see the Admin menu
