DiversitySamplingPlots is focussed on the management of sampling plots. In this context it is designed to document the geographical position of geoobjects and the geometry of the plots as well of georeferenced objects found on the plots. The [[DiversityGisEditor|Diversity GIS Editor]] is integrated. Data of other realms like, e. g., taxonomy of georeferenced single objects and documentation of the collection/ observation event are handled in separate modules. For an overview of the available DWB components see the [[Main_Page|Diversity Workbench Main Page]].

DiversitySamplingPlots is focussed on the management of individual sampling plots and assigned toponyms with their hierarchy. It is a tool designed for scientists in biodiversity, geodiversity, ecological and geosciences research projects. In this context it is appropriate to design plots for organising the geographical position of geoobjects residing in other DWB databases. DSP is able to import sampling plots from other sources and formats (e. g., ArcView shape files) classifying them hierarchically and annotating them, e.g. with toponyms. The [[DiversityGisEditor|Diversity GIS Editor]] is integrated. Data of other realms like, e. g., taxonomy of georeferenced single objects and documentation of the collection/ observation event are handled in separate modules. For an overview of the available DWB components see the [[Main_Page|Diversity Workbench Main Page]].

DiversitySamplingPlots is an application component of the database framework Diversity Workbench. It might be installed as part of a DWB environment, but also be used as a stand-alone application, e. g., in a local installation. Each DWB component is devoted to a specific data domain.

DiversitySamplingPlots is focussed on the management of individual sampling plots and assigned toponyms with their hierarchy. It is a tool designed for scientists in biodiversity, geodiversity, ecological and geosciences research projects. In this context it is appropriate to design plots for organising the geographical position of geoobjects residing in other DWB databases. DSP is able to import sampling plots from other sources and formats (e. g., ArcView shape files) classifying them hierarchically and annotating them, e.g. with toponyms. The Diversity GIS Editor is integrated. Data of other realms like, e. g., taxonomy of georeferenced single objects and documentation of the collection/ observation event are handled in separate modules. For an overview of the available DWB components see the Diversity Workbench Main Page.

For download of test versions check DiversitySamplingPlots clients for beta testing.

Software for .Net Framework 4.8

Online manual

The manual is provided in html format with Content and Keywords, see also DWB user manuals. Furthermore the manual is provided as pdf file (for current version check DWB user manuals) and compiled help file in CHM (= MS online help format). The compiled help file is available for separate download but is included in the zip archive of the client application as well.
