| Title: | British Bats dataset: 1999 snapshot |
| Description: | This dataset records information arising from enquiries about bats to the conservation agencies. Specifically it was a summary of bat enquiries received by, or notified to, English Nature which contained some useful information about bats or their roosts. It was not intended that the database should be used to log every phone call about bats and every enquiry or request for leaflets. The Bats datasets consist of a main table (Batdata), containing the details of the bat enquiry, together with a number of lookup tables which provide translation of the various encoded fields. Some of the tables contain 'multi-valued' fields (these are a feature of Pick-based database management systems), which means that a single field in the database holds a number of values. For instance the field SPECIES_CODE holds 0, 1 or many entries depending on how many bat species were recorded as present; the field BATCOUNT records the number present of each species; and the field RTYPE_CODE records how each of the species was identified. The dataset comprises 11 tables. |
