Technical documentation of management systems not specialised on collection data at the GFBio Collection Data Centers, Status 2014
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 data, molecular data, sampling data and interview 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.
In parallel, the GFBio collection data centers documented their installations of collection management systems. Additional Wiki pages with Technical Documentations will follow, e. g., including information on the multimedia data repositories and archiving systems in use by the GFBio collection data centers/ archives.
