The WMS Service (Web Map Service) called “Distribution of species” allows the visualisation and consultation of the data set that represent mapping the distribution of terrestrial and marine wild species present in Spain according to the information provided by the EIDOS database (species in Greek), which incorporates the official information on the species present in Spain that has been compiled by the Ministry in its various projects in recent years.
These data, of great scientific value, were until now collected in independent projects, sometimes scattered and without a common structure, which made it difficult to locate and use them by citizens.
Eidos solves these problems by providing this information with a common structure based on the international Plinian Core standard that allows data collected on Ministry servers to be presented to the citizen in real time.
