The GRSF Admin VRE is tied up with the GRSF one and it provides authorized users with an environment and tools for building an integrated catalogue on stocks and fisheries information, i.e. for defining the authoritative version of the stocks and fisheries records made available by the GRSF VLab. To this end, it is mainly equipped with a registry containing the “under development version” of such information to be disseminated by the GRSF VRE when validated. Approve/reject facility enables experts to assess the candidate records, and to decide whether they are suitable for publication or not. In addition to the basic facilities, as a workspace for sharing objects of interest, a social networking area for supporting the discussions among members and a user management facility for managing membership, this VLab is specifically equipped with the following capability: a search and browse facility enabling authorized users to access GRSF stocks and fisheries records with unique identifiers and other metadata as collected from the different sources (FIRMS, RAM, FishSource)
