ZFMK Biodiversity Data Center

The ZFMK Biodiversity Data Center is aimed at hosting, archiving, publishing and distributing data from biodiversity research and zoological collections. The Biodiversity Data Center handles and curates data on: - The specimens of the institutes collection, including provenance, distribution, habitat, and taxonomic data. - Observations, recordings and measurements from field research, monitoring and ecological inventories. - Morphological measurements, descriptions on specimens, as well as - Genetic barcode libraries, and - Genetic and molecular research data associated with specimens or environmental samples. For this purpose, suitable software and hardware systems are operated and the required infrastructure is further developed. Core components of the software architecture are: The DiversityWorkbench suite for managing all collection-related information. The Digital Asset Management system easyDB for multimedia assets. The description database Morph·D·Base for morphological data sets and character matrices.

ZFMK 生物多样性数据中心致力于承载、存档、发布和分发生物多样性研究和动物收藏的数据。该数据中心负责处理和整理以下数据：- 机构收藏标本的来源、分布、栖息地和分类数据；- 来自实地研究、监测和生态调查的观察、记录和测量；- 标本形态测量、描述以及- 遗传条形码库，以及- 与标本或环境样本相关的遗传和分子研究数据。为此，运营了合适的软件和硬件系统，并进一步发展了所需的基础设施。软件架构的核心组件包括：用于管理所有收藏相关信息的 DiversityWorkbench 套件；用于多媒体资产的数字资产管理平台 easyDB；以及用于形态数据集和特征矩阵的描述数据库 Morph·D·Base。
