One of the goals of GFBio is to strengthen the data centers at the Natural History Collections and Culture Collections in Germany and improve their infrastructure to manage, archive and publish biodiversity research data on the long run. As a consequence – latest after the realisation  of the GFBio platform and federal infrastructure – they should be able (a) to mobilise their own data resources for research purposes and (b) to provide their technical infrastructure for managing, archiving and publishing biodiversity research data including multimedia data.

The tools and systems below are set up for management of data from more than one data domain: collection and observation data, trait data, taxonomic, taxon reference and checklist data, sequence data, sampling data and survey data. Some are browser-based applications with own online portal, others are usable as desk top stand-alone applications or are part of a client-server network. All are eventually involved in the GFBio dataflow.

The tools and systems below are set up for management, processing and publishing of data from more than one data domain: collection and observation data, trait data, taxonomic, taxon reference and checklist data, sequence data, sampling data, survey data as well as scientific data packages as a whole. Some are browser-based applications with own online portal, others are usable as desk top stand-alone applications or are part of a client-server network. All are involved in the GFBio dataflow and part of the portfolios of GFBio data centers.

In parallel, the GFBio collection data centers documented their installations of [[Technical documentation of collection management systems at the GFBio Collection Data Centers|collection management systems]] and [[Technical documentation of multimedia data management systems|multimedia data management systems]]. Additional Wiki pages with [[Technical Documentations]] will follow, e. g., including information on the archiving systems in place at the GFBio collection data centers/ archives.

Technical documentation of management systems, data processing and publication tools not specialised on collection data at the GFBio Collection Data Centers

One of the goals of GFBio is to strengthen the data centers at the Natural History Collections and Culture Collections in Germany and improve their infrastructure to manage, archive and publish biodiversity research data on the long run. As a consequence – latest after the realisation of the GFBio platform and federal infrastructure – they should be able (a) to mobilise their own data resources for research purposes and (b) to provide their technical infrastructure for managing, archiving and publishing biodiversity research data including multimedia data.

The tools and systems below are set up for management, processing and publishing of data from more than one data domain: collection and observation data, trait data, taxonomic, taxon reference and checklist data, sequence data, sampling data, survey data as well as scientific data packages as a whole. Some are browser-based applications with own online portal, others are usable as desk top stand-alone applications or are part of a client-server network. All are involved in the GFBio dataflow and part of the portfolios of GFBio data centers.

In parallel, the GFBio collection data centers documented their installations of collection management systems, multimedia data management systems, long-term archiving solutions and of GFBio related IT services, tools and databases at the data centers.
