  1. BGBM Collection Management Software links v17-02-2007 Thu, 01/17/2008 - 14:05

    This page lists software which is used in collection management. It is an uncritical listing, the software has not been tested or approved by the subgroup in any way. The selection is based on the following criteria:

    • The software helps to manage specimens or observations of biological objects ("units"). Taxonomic tools helping to generate checklists etc. are not included if they do not include unit management functions.
    • The software must be functional and in use by at least one collection (however, some beta versions have been included).
    • The software must be freely available (for free or as a commercial product).
    • It should not need re-programming to be adapted by the new user.
    • Some help in the installation of the software should be available from the authors.

  2. 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.

  3. DiversityMobile Tue, 11/10/2009 - 10:50

    The Diversity Mobile Wiki is a platform for information networks in the context of DiversityMobile (for mobile devices and smartphones), the Diversity Workbench and the DaltOn framework. Currently it is focused on a DFG-funded project "Setting up an Information Network on Biological Research Data gained in the Field up to the Sustainable Storage in a Primary Data Repository (I-B-F)".

  4. DiversityNavigator Tue, 11/10/2009 - 10:30

    DiversityNavigator is a rich-client application for viewing, editing, and analyzing data. DiversityNavigator is written in java and can access both local and server based databases. It is compatible to a variety of database engines.

  5. IndExs – Index of Exsiccatae Tue, 11/10/2009 - 08:48

    "IndExs - Index of Exsiccatae" is a bibliography of exsiccatal series. With more than 2050 data entries it is nearly complete. "IndExs" comprises information on titles, abbreviations and bibliography of exsiccatae. Exsiccatae are defined here as "published, uniform, numbered sets of preserved specimens distributed with printed labels" (Pfister 1985). The single search result gives you all bibliographically important information on the series: the editor(s), title in its bibliographical correct form, standardized abbreviation of the series as to cite in specimen lists of scientific papers or to add in your collection management system, the place of publication and the group(s) of organisms distributed. Additionally, the first and last number of the series as well as the corresponding year of the first and last issue are mentioned. Where preceding and / or superseding series do exist this information is linked. Images of single examplary labels are included for 60% of the series. They are taken from material located in more than 20 public herbaria worldwide.

  6. Specify Software Project v5.1 Wed, 09/26/2007 - 13:42

    Specify is a research software application, database, and network interface for biological collections information. It manages specimen data such as descriptions of collecting locations, participants and determination histories as well as information about collections transactions such as loans, exchanges, accessions and gifts.

    * 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

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