DiversityExsiccatae
DiversityExsiccatae (DWB-DE) 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 module is devoted to a specific data domain.
DiversityExsiccatae is currently used in a core installation at the SNSB, Botanische Staatssammlung München to manage bibliographic information and standardized abbreviations of botanical and mycological exsiccatae in a global index. Exsiccatae are series of specimen collections which are distributed as a publication together with assigned printed matters. They are usually available in multiple copies worldwide (see also IndExs - Index of Exsiccatae, About). This standard list for Exsiccatal series with unique and stable series identifers is increasing the efficiency of the digitization of botanical and mycological collections. A web interface IndExs - Index of Exsiccatae and a web service IndExs - Web Service is available.
For download of test versions check DiversityExsiccatae clients for beta testing.
