            <gco:CharacterString>This dataset represents a partition of the world oceans into provinces as defined by Longhurst (1995; 1998; 2006), and are based on the prevailing role of physical forcing as a regulator of phytoplankton distribution. The dataset represents the initial static boundaries developed at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Canada. Note that the boundaries of these provinces are not fixed in time and space, but are dynamic and move under seasonal and interannual changes in physical forcing. At the first level of reduction, Longhurst recognized four principal biomes (also referred to as domains in earlier publications): the Polar Biome, the Westerlies Biome, the Trade-Winds Biome, and the Coastal Boundary Zone Biome. These four Biomes are recognizable in every major ocean basin. At the next level of reduction, the ocean basins are partitioned into provinces, roughly ten for each basin. These partitions provide a template for data analysis or for making parameter assignments on a global scale.

            <gco:CharacterString>You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add
                    and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).
                    Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more
                    comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor
                    to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so
                    know what you do :-)</gco:CharacterString>
