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）是一款集成化的网络化科研平台，为DNA条形码数据的整合与应用提供完整支撑环境。该平台搭载在线数据库，用于采集、管理标本、分布及分子相关数据，同时配套专用分析工具以助力数据验证工作。近年来，BOLD已发展成为功能强大的在线科研工作台，亦是全球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，均可免费使用该平台。通过提供专业化服务，BOLD可协助研究者发表符合全球序列数据库BARCODE标识标准的研究记录。得益于其网页化部署方式与灵活的数据安全模型，BOLD同样能够出色支持涉及广泛研究联盟的各类科研项目。
