DiversityCollection
DiversityCollection is part of the database framework Diversity Workbench. All modules of the Workbench are focused on a specific data domain.
DiversityCollection is focused on the management of specimens in scientific collections and the handling of observation data. In this context it is designed to document any action concerning the collection, storage, exchange and treatment of specimens in a collection and is also appropriate to store observation data with analyses added. DiversityCollection is distinguished from other collection management systems by its focus on biological relations between organisms linked together as one or more specimens or observations (e. g., host, parasite, hyperparasite, symbionts, etc.). DiversityCollection keeps only data connected with the handling of collection specimens and observations. Data of other realms like, e. g., taxonomy and references as well as scientific term systems and sampling plots are handled in separate modules. For an overview of the available modules see the Diversity Workbench Main Page.
DiversityCollection can be used as a stand-alone application.
