Dan J. SMITH, Barbara J. BENSON, and David F. BALSIGER – Many sites conducting ecological research must routinely manage a diverse suite of datasets and make them accessible to researchers. This paper presents an approach to creating an ecological data query system that dynamically creates predefined dataset query interfaces for managed datasets. The query interfaces are created from stored dataset metadata and query creation metadata and include only those field selections and filtering options identified as relevant for the specified dataset.
