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
LIAS – A Global Information System for Lichenized and Non-Lichenized Ascomycetes
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.
The Phycology.Net
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
* maintain a discussion forum for phycological subjects and the further development of the platform itself
* 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

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

DiversityNavigator
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.
Diversity Workbench
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.
MorphoBrowser
MorphoBrowser Thu, 10/18/2007 - 13:12
The ‘MorphoBrowser’ database and interface is a 3D visualisation and searching tool for mammalian teeth, accessible over the web. It allows the user to ‘browse’ through the diverse range of tooth morphologies found in mammals, both extinct and extant. While browsing, the three-dimensional shape of the teeth can be viewed from any direction by rotating and scaling the tooth.
Digital Taxonomy Software
Digital Taxonomy Software Thu, 01/17/2008 - 14:07
Digital Taxonomy intends to provide a range of links on software, methodologies, standards, data sources, and projects relatedto biodiversity data management, with emphasis on open source and free softwaretools for biodiversity informatics.
Morphometric Software at Suny Stony Brook
Morphometric Software at Suny Stony Brook Thu, 10/18/2007 - 13:14
The purpose of this directory is to make available programs useful for morphometric analysis. Contributions of additional software are welcome. Contact us with suggestions for improvements and with additional contributions to the morphmet archive. Click on the categories in the contents window (at the left) to obtain lists of available software. The platform required by each program (e.g., DOS, Windows, Mac, Unix) is indicated in red for each program. Note: Windows programs can sometimes be run using emulators on other platforms (e.g., Wine on Linux of Connectix Virtual PC on a Mac).
