IBF Diversity Workbench and Data Repository has several administratve and service tasks which include the project management and the presentation of the deliveries on the internet. For these purposes the Wiki technology is used, inluding mechanisms for up- and download of software releases and working documents and a site organising feedbacks.
Additonally, this IBF working group aims to set up and enhance the database framework [Diversity Workbench http://www.diversityworkbench.net] with its currently 12 components. Diversity Workbench represents a modularized system for multiple scientific purposes concerning analysis and management of biological data, e. g. collection data, observation data, descriptive and ecological data, taxonomy, taxon-mediated checklist data, ecological plots, images and literature data. It is thereby flexible enough to build the software backbone for long-term institutional data repositories for biological data. Components optimized in the IBF context are DiversityCollection, DiversityTaxonNames, DiversityProjects, DiversityAgents, DiversityUsers and DiversitySamplingPlots with GIS functionality.
A large number of biodiversity research projects depend on field mapping and ecological data of high quality. Therefore it is necessary to link data sets gathered in the field to a central data storage system which may simultaneously be used by multiple participants. The data have to be available as stored datasets shortly after gathering; and every operation applied to data can be traced back ("data provenance"). For these core requirements, the Diversity Workbench includes a mobile application used to gather biological research data in the field that enables the dataflow to the data repository. For a further consistent data flow it is crucial that the database is set up at an institutional data repository which acts as GBIF data provider like the IT Center of the Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns. There the GUID is connected with a persistent Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The latter is published and accessed by global networks like GBIF.
