Birds and all kinds of information related to birds are at the core of the STERNA digital library. It brings together and presents all sorts of multimedia resources on birds, bird species and their habitats in one information space.
STERNA (Semantic Web-based Thematic European Reference Network Application) is a Best Practice Network project supporting the objectives of the European Digital Library by pioneering the integration of semantically enriched digital resources in the field of natural science, biodiversity and conservation. Currently, four prototypes of the search portal that access the STERNA information space are available: Educational portal at ARKive: http://www.arkive.org/misc/sterna-portal/search.php Birdwatchers' portal at NCB Naturalis: http://science.naturalis.nl/sterna The Archipelagos search portal for tourists and boaters at sea: http://wildlife-archipelago.gr/wordpress/sterna/sternasearch/ The Heritage Malta search portal for a generally interested audience: http://www.heritagemalta.org/sterna/
