Zusammenfassung
Off the coast of La Gomera sightings of whales and dolphins
in the context of tourism whale watching tours are recorded
continuously since 1995. The tour operators work together with
the German registered association M.E.E.R. e.V., which has set
itself the target to evaluate the data scientifically. The aim of
this thesis is to develop requirements on a process model for
acquisition and analysis of this data material. The recording of
the data is performed under difficult environmental conditions in
the open sea. The data material should be stored persistently in a
database that is accessible to both the employees (full access) and
the tourists (limited access) on La Gomera, but on the other hand
is also the basis for the scientific evaluation.With appropriate role
and rights concepts it shall be prevented, that data is distributed
too widely and the animals in the observation area are disturbed.
Otherwise the requirements for simple access for all interested
parties will be fulfilled. This paper proposes a web-access on
the protected database and adds a data export for statistical
analysis and a geographically based interface via an adequate
layer structure in the GIS ArcMap.
