  1. DEEMY Tue, 11/10/2009 - 10:09

    An Information System for Characterization and DEtermination of EctoMYcorrhizae
    The goal is
    • to offer a online database system for multiple usage and therewith dissemination of expert knowledge especially by providing public access to database generated identification keys, natural language descriptions and illustrations of ectomycorrhizae
    • to promote common standards on descriptive data connected with taxonomic names of ectomycorrhizae to facilitate interoperability and data exchange

  2. DELTA Intkey tutorial Mon, 12/07/2009 - 16:19

    This is particularly clear and concise tutorial on the DELTA Intkey sofware for interactive identification. PDF document by A. Spooner and A. Chapman (western Autralian Herbarium, Department of Environment and Conservation).

  3. Diversity Workbench Tue, 11/10/2009 - 10:49

    The Diversity Workbench is work in progress, aiming at developing a set of information models and application components that collaborate through agreed software interfaces. That is, each component of the Workbench applications uses services from other applications, but at the same time does not need to know about the internal design and implementation of them (encapsulation principle). The goal is increased reuse and collaboration across project and national borders.

  4. Dryades (Italian branch of the European Project KeyToNature) Thu, 07/03/2008 - 15:45

    Dryades is the Italian branch of the European Project KeyToNature. The website of Dryades gives access to interactive guides for the identification of plants, fungi and animals, to iconographical archives, and to databases on the biodiversity of Italy. A special section is dedicated to products specifically designed for schools. Identification tools are available in 10 languages.
    Some of the projects available on the website are public and some are not.

  5. LIAS – A Global Information System for Lichenized and Non-Lichenized Ascomycetes Tue, 11/10/2009 - 10:04

    LIAS is a multi-authored information system for the collection and distribution of descriptive and other biodiversity data on lichens and non-lichenized ascomycetes. The goal is
    * to provide a working space for cooperation and collaboration of experts on ascomycetes in the Internet
    * to establish a multi-authored worldwide database on descriptive data of all ascomycetes
    * to design user-friendly web tools for an easier access and remote editing of database records via Internet
    * to offer a online database system for multiple usage and therewith dissemination of expert knowledge especially by providing public access to database generated identification keys and natural language description of ascomycetes
    * to promote the gathering, furnishing and administration of data by experts in a standard database system which allows an information deposit for individual use only (e. g. for revision) and – after agreement – the public access to the data via Internet
    * to promote common standards on descriptive data connected with taxonomic names of ascomycetes to facilitate interoperability and data exchange
    The vision of LIAS is to establish a non-commercial global information system of advanced technology where published biodiversity data of all ascomycetes are joint in a multi-authored database and used for the most sophisticated queries.

  6. Lucid3 - On-Line Player Fri, 02/20/2009 - 15:32

    The Online Player joins the other two Player options for Lucid3 keys – the Lucid3 Application Player and the Lucid3 Applet – to provide a great service to our clients and your end-users.

  7. Meka v3.10 Wed, 07/09/2008 - 14:00

    MEKA is an interactive Multiple-Entry Key Algorithm to enable rapid identification of biological specimens. Earlier versions of the program used a command-line interface. The version offered here is the first version developed to run under Windows. MEKA is controlled by mouse clicks; no text is entered. This approach allows very rapid access to program functions.

    The user picks character states that are present in the specimen from a list of possibilities. As the character states are scored by picking them, MIKA eliminates taxa that no longer match the list of scored character states. Different windows display different aspects of the underlying data base. As the identification progresses the windows are updated automatically. An index screen makes it easy to find and score particular classes of character states. MEKA does not lead the user in a fixed stepwise progression through a series of questions. Instead, the user can perform identifications by scoring character states in any order. This makes it possible to identify specimens that are much more fragmentary than is possible with dichotomous keys.

  8. NaviKey v5.0 Fri, 11/06/2009 - 12:51

    NaviKey is a Java applet and application for accesssing descriptive data coded in DELTA format and has been implemented as:

    • a Java applet providing the contents of DELTA files (see example with the DELTA sample data files)
    • a stand-alone Java application for accessing DELTA files or PostgreSQL versions of DiversityDescriptions databases, respectively
    • a module ("plug-in") of the Java-based Diversity Navigator database client for accessing DELTA files or PostgreSQL versions of DiversityDescriptions databases, respectively

     

     

  9. The British bumblebee identification guide Thu, 01/22/2009 - 15:10

    This British bumblebee identification guide is an easy-to-use key designed to help you identify bumblebees by looking at the insects' colour patterns. It is available as Flash and HTML version.

  10. The Mycology.Net Tue, 11/10/2009 - 09:57

    The Mycology.Net has been established as a non-commercial scientific data platform for linking mycological and lichenological websites in a structured way.
    The Mycology.Net aims to
    * provide access to online data on the biodiversity of fungi, including lichens, especially their taxonomy, distribution, phylogeny, descriptive characters, collections, literature etc.
    * inform about mycological institutions, journals, databases (link sections) and persons engaged in mycology
    * reach scientists all over the world and invite them to use the platform and to help improving the quality and quantity of data
    * maintain a discussion forum for mycological subjects and the further development of the platform itself

  11. The Phycology.Net Tue, 11/10/2009 - 10:02

    The Phycology.Net has been established as a non-commercial scientific data platform for linking phycological websites in a structured way. The Phycology.Net aims to
    * provide access to online data on the biodiversity of algae, especially their taxonomy, distribution, phylogeny, descriptive characters, collections, literature etc.
    * inform about phycological institutions, journals, databases (link sections) and persons engaged in phycology
    * reach scientists all over the world and invite them to use the platform and to help improving the quality and quantity of data
