<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#444444">The NVS2.0 service has now been in place since 2012 and while BODC has maintained the original NVS (NVS1.0) service to allow users to switch at their convenience,
removal of the NVS1.0 service is necessary to allow future NVS2.0 enhancements and functionality. From December 2016 the NVS1.0 service, which is accessed from
<a href="http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/">http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk</a> will no longer be available.</span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
