BiodiversityObservationNetworks.jl

The purpose of this package is to provide a high-level, extensible, modular interface to the selection of sampling point for biodiversity processes in space. It is based around a collection of types representing point selection algorithms, used to select the most informative sampling points based on raster data.

This package is in development

The BiodiversityObservationNetworks.jl package is currently under development. At this point (v0.5 onwards) the API is not expected to change a lot, but it may change in order to facilitate the integration of new features.
