ARAMOB - Mobilizing Spider Data for Research

ARAMOB is a German project aiming at consolidating and mobilising data from systematic studies on the ecology of spiders in Germany through this online portal. The underlying data management is done with the modularized database system Diversity Workbench. This framework was enhanced as a virtual research environment for arachnology by including lists, thesaury and trans-modular functions and tools helpful for data management in studies of spider taxonomy and ecology. The ARAMOB database will serve as repository for ecological data on spiders from Germany, provided by the Arachnologische Gesellschaft (AraGes) in the sense of the German Federation for Biological Data (GFBio). Through the portal or direct use of the database with Diversity Workbench data will be available to members of the AraGes for ecological analyses of spider species and assemblages, e.g. occurence and distribution, phenology, habitat preferences, ecological preferences, indication of habitat quality, a.o.

ARAMOB是一项德国项目，旨在通过本在线门户整合并动员德国蜘蛛生态学系统性研究的资料。其数据管理基于模块化数据库系统多样性工作台。该框架经增强，成为一门适用于蜘蛛学研究的虚拟研究环境，其中包含了有助于蜘蛛分类学和生态学研究数据管理的列表、术语表以及跨模块功能和工具。ARAMOB数据库将作为德国蜘蛛生态数据的存储库，由蜘蛛学会（AraGes）在德国生物数据联合会（GFBio）的意义下提供。通过该门户或直接使用配备多样性工作台的数据库，AraGes的成员将能够进行蜘蛛物种和群落的生态分析，例如存在与分布、物候、栖息地偏好、生态偏好、栖息地质量指标等。
