DiversityDescriptions_Quiz (DD_Quiz) is a clone of DiversityDescriptions 3.00.10. July 17th, 2014 that is intended to work with the Web-Framework Django to have a quiz for species descriptions in German. This project is presently under development. Additional tables see below. Suggested citation is that of DiversityDescriptions 3.00.10: G. Hagedorn, A. Plank, A. Link, G. Rambold & D. Triebel (2014).

points int Points through scoring characters, already 3 added if success (default: 0)

New projects

Steps to enter data for a new project: Create a project (table: Project)

  • Project.code is important: it is used as URL part and within the Django application as internal project identifier it should never be changed
  • eventually create or associate scopes, like “female”, “male” (table: OtherScope, Project_AvailableScope)

Eventually create the taxa (table: TaxonProxy)

  • associate taxa to the project (tables: TaxonSet, TaxonSet_Taxon)
  • associate images of taxa (tables: Resource, ResourceVariant, BaseEntity.specific_rights_text should contain the corresponding picture’s author name like: “© Author Name”). A set of maximum of 16 thumbs will be displayed
    resource variants as ReourceVariant_Enum.code "tiny_sample" (=thumb 75×75px) and "best_quality" (max 500×500px displayed) should have corresponding urls in ResourceVariant.url
  • eventually associate geographic area (table: GeographicAreaProxy, GeographicArea_Taxon)

Create character and character states (table Descriptor, CategoricalState), character tree (tables: DescriptorTree, DescriptorTreeNode)

  • associate images to characters or character states (tables: Resource, ResourceVariant, BaseEntity.specific_rights_text should contain the corresponding picture’s author name like: “© Author Name”), size of images with maximal height 40px

Finally make a project publicly available: set the Project‘s tag (table: Tag)

  • tag "Artenquiz" means it is a quiz
  • tag "Public" means it will be publically available
  • tag "Identification" make the project availabel for identification (URL: …/mobile_bestimmung/)
