<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font color="#444444">For the attention of all NERC Vocabulary Server (NVS) users,</font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font 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/"><font color="blue"><u>http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk</u></font></a> will no longer be available.</font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font color="#444444">Vocabulary service users should ensure they are using the services as documented from <a href="http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/"><font color="blue"><u>http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk</u></font></a>.</font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font color="#444444">For users that have embedded NVS1.0 URLs within their data files the NVS1.0 URLs will be redirected to the equivalent NVS2.0 URLs, so updating of local data holdings should not be necessary prior to the
removal of NVS1.0.</font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font color="#444444">If you have problems switching to NVS2.0 or concerns over the removal of the NVS1.0 please contact <a href="mailto:enquiries@bodc.ac.uk"><font color="blue"><u>enquiries@bodc.ac.uk</u></font></a> before
01 November 2016. </font></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><font color="#444444">Apologies for any cross posting. </font></div>
