Upgrading portal look & feel and sitemap Redesign for the site map and the look & feel of the EMODnet Chemistry portal will be undertaken by OGS + MARIS

Upgrading portal look & feel and sitemap Each of the metadata, data and product services should give a filtered overview and access to the records that fall within the subtheme scopes. This way users will not be overwhelmed by the total offer, and can act with more focus. Service developers will receive guidance for amending their services, both in subsetting and for restyling for overall harmonised look & feel
