This is a linked data resource: it has a permanent unique uri at which both humans and machines can find it on the Internet, and which can be used an identifier in queries on our SPARQL endpoint.

Linked Data is stored in graphs. We keep dataset contents (the data) separately from the metadata, to make it easier for you to find exactly what you need.

Description dcterms:description http://purl.org/dc/terms/description

The index of abundance of terrstrial breeding birds is an index which combines information on the numbers of selected species, rather than their spatial coverage. Terrestrial breeding birds in Scotland comprise both resident and migratory species. They include familiar garden species such as blackbird (Turdus merula) and robin (Erithacus rubecula), woodland species such as willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) and goldcrest (Regulus regulus), farmland species such as linnet (Carduelis cannabina) and goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), and uplands species such as raven (Corvus corax) and black grouse (Tetrao tetrix). This indicator is measured using index numbers, 1994 has been set equal to 100.

Relevance http://statistics.gov.scot/def/statistical-quality/relevance

This National Outcome Indicator describes changes in the numbers of breeding birds in Scotland. Birds can respond relatively quickly to variations in habitat quality, through changes in breeding output, survival or dispersal. Since most bird species are relatively easy to identify and count, geographically widespread, abundant and diurnal, birds are often used as indicators of environmental change. A target has been set to increase the abundance of terrestrial breeding birds. xsd:string
