Barcode of Life Data Systems: BOLDS main resource (81) DwCA

http://www.boldsystems.org/. The Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD), is a web platform that provides an integrated environment for the assembly and use of DNA barcode data. It delivers an online database for collection and management of specimen, distributional, and molecular data as well as analytical tools to support their validation. Over the past few years, BOLD has grown to become a powerful online workbench and the central informatics hub of the DNA barcoding community. BOLD is freely available to any researcher with interests in DNA Barcoding. By providing specialized services, it aids in the publication of records that meet the standards needed to gain BARCODE designation in the global sequence databases. Because of its web-based delivery and flexible data security model, it is also well positioned to support projects that involve broad research alliances.http://www.boldsystems.org/。生命条形码数据系统（Barcode of Life Data Systems, BOLD）是一款网络平台，为DNA条形码数据的整合与应用提供集成化环境。该系统提供在线数据库，用于收集、管理标本、分布信息与分子数据，同时配套分析工具以支撑相关数据的验证工作。过往数年，BOLD已发展成为功能强大的在线科研工作台，同时成为全球DNA条形码研究社群的核心信息枢纽。任何对DNA条形码研究感兴趣的科研人员均可免费使用BOLD。通过提供专业化服务，BOLD可助力研究人员发表符合全球序列数据库BARCODE标识认证标准的记录。依托其基于网络的部署模式与灵活的数据安全架构，BOLD同样能够很好地支撑涉及跨域研究联盟的科研项目。
