All Types & Collection Management

  1. Bauble v0.9.7 Thu, 07/15/2010 - 09:52

    Bauble is a software application to help manage a collection of botanical specimens. It is intended to be used by botanic gardens, herbaria, arboreta, etc. It can use different database backends and is tested against SQLite and PostgreSQL. It can generate reports through an XSL formatter backend. There is no fancy report designer but there is an interface that allows you to pass the results of a search through an XSL formatter. This allows you to layout your data any way you wish and save it in many formats including PDF, XML, or HTML. Users can tag any arbitrary data stored in a Bauble managed database with arbitrary names. This way you can create collections of records organized the way you want with names you give them.

    • 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.
