TDWG Subgroup on Biological Collection Data Software for Biological Collection Management Useful general summaries concerning the development of taxonomic tools can be found on the GBIF and TDWG websites.Software on the homepage of the Willi Hennig Society (among other resources) ETI - Expert Centre for Taxonomic Identification, Amsterdam. ETI is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) in operational relations with UNESCO. Their mission is to develop and produce scientific and educational computer-aided information systems, to improve the general access to and promote the broad use of taxonomic and biodiversity knowledge worldwide. Lucid, Centre for Biological Information Technology, Brisbane. Lucid tools are powerful and highly flexible knowledge management software applications designed to help users with identification or diagnostic tasks. Lucid identification keys are currently being used by a wide range of end-users, from primary, high school and university students to taxonomists, quarantine identifiers, biodiversity scientists and conservation managers. For more information on Lucid keys that have been developed, go to Key Search. The DELTA format (DEscription Language for TAxonomy) is a flexible method for encoding taxonomic descriptions for computer processing. It has been adopted by the International Taxonomic Databases Working Group (TDWG) as a standard for data exchange. DELTA-format data can be used to produce natural-language descriptions, conventional or interactive keys, cladistic or phenetic classifications, and information-retrieval systems. DeltaAccess (a SQL interface to DELTA, the Description Language for Taxonomy, implemented in Microsoft Access 97, 2000, and 2002). DAP - A Web-Interface to DeltaAccess. www.biocollections.org: Devoted to information of interest to systematists and other biologists of the organismic kind. Within these pages you will find information about specimens in biological collections, taxonomic authority files, directories of biologists, the Delta system and links for hundreds of biodiversity and collection resources.

Low resolution satellite imagery, meteorological data and derived products and information on software tools, methods and techniques used for environmental monitoring, crop forecasting, early warning, desert locust control and others, from the ARTEMIS and Agrometeorology Groups, FAO Environment and Natural Resources Service (SDRN). Codes & Indexes An General introduction to codes at the NCBIwebsite Whenever possible, formal scientific names are used for taxa. There are several codes of nomenclature that regulate the description and use of names in different branches of the tree of life. These are: the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN), the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (ICNB), and the International Code of Virus Classification and Nomenclature (ICVCN).

Welcome to Biodiversity Research Center Informatics! We enable knowledge discovery of earth's biological diversity through collaborative development of software for species data integration, synthesis and predictive modeling.
BioGIS Consulting stellt verschiedene Softwarelösungen für die Biodiversitätsinformatik her, BioOffice und BioMapper. Better World Links: Web ResourcesBiodiversity and Biological Collections Web Server This Biodiversity and Biological Collections Web Server is devoted to information of interest to systematists and other biologists of the organismic kind. Within these pages you will find information about specimens in biological collections, taxonomic authority files, directories of biologists, reports by various standards bodies (IOPI, ASC, SA2000, etc), an archive of the Taxacom, MUSE-L and CICHLID-L listservs), access to on-line journals (including Flora On-line) and information about MUSE and Delta. BioLink Integrated software for the collection, maintenance, analysis, application and dissemination of taxonomic, biodiversity and environmental information. BIOlogical DIversity software and consultingResearch and development of systems for enabling analysis and visualization of environmental and biodiversity data for scientific insight. BIOSIS - Resource Guide Biodiversity California State University Biological Sciences Web Server (CSUBIOWEB) General Biodiversity Resources GEOTRANS 2.2.1- Geographic Translator GEOTRANS (Geographic Translator) is an application program which allows you to easily convert geographic coordinates among a wide variety of coordinate systems, map projections, and datums. GEOTRANS runs in Microsoft Windows (95 and NT) and UNIX Motif environments. Lucid Professional is software to create easy-to-use diagnostic and identification systems (keys). National Biological Information Infrastructure: Biodiversity National Biological Information Infrastructure collection of lin Overview of Biodiversity Informatics This overview of biodiversity informatics is strongly focussed on biological systematics and the work conducted in systematics collections (i.e., natural history museums). It does not address observational (monitoring) data, rare and endangered species, ecosystem characterization, threat assessment, and a host of other biodiversity issues. Software for Biological Collection. 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. Software tools for management and visualisation of biodiversity Report providing information that will make it easy for biodiversity professionals to accomplish several key tasks. First, it will allow them to find useful software packages for the management and visualization of their data. Second, it will allow them to communicate directly with publishers, authors and users of biodiversity software. Third, the report will enable them to use the internet and World Wide Web as a resource for accessing software and technical information. Lastly, the report has information that will let biodiversity professionals participate in various internet discussion groups and upcoming conferences relevant to biodiversity. The Species Analyst The Species Analyst is a research project developing standards and software tools for access to the world's natural history collection and observation databases. The Species Analyst is based at the University of Kansas Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center. World-Wide Web Virtual Library: Ecology and Biodiversity The Virtual Library of Ecology and Biodiversity division of The Virtual Library Project specializes in reviewing internet information sources pertaining to ecology and biodiversity based on their educational value.
