DiversityNaviKey
The software application DiversityNaviKey is intended to identify organisms or other items which are related to biodiversity or geodiversity science, by means of their characteristics. It therefore allows for interactive and sophisticated search on highly structured datasets with desriptive data (trait data) to identify items according to selection criteria, defined during the identification process. DiversityNaviKey is the reimplementation of the java applet/application NaviKey which is also an integrated part of the DiversityNavigator database client.
The new application will be implemented as a „Progressive Web Application (PWA)“. Thus it is platform independent and will run on every common browser (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari). The pages are responsive and adjusted to the user device (desktop, tablet, smartphone). By using caching mechanism of modern browsers, like ServiceWorker and IndexedDB, the main tasks of the application will also be available in offline mode.
DiversityNaviKey will use SDD structured data sources and PostgreSQL cache database mechanisms as established for DiversityDescriptions.
A later extension to cover DiversityMobile functions is envisaged.
