Project description
The full title name of the ENBI project is
Most existing biodiversity information is distributed and not dynamically accessible in digital format. Heterogenety of data prevents researches to integrate different kinds of biodiversity data (e.g. taxonomy, collections, etc.) To be able to use biodiversity information to its full potential, for both scientific and societal applications, it will be crucial to digitise our primary biodiversity data and to make these data available in an integrated shared information infrastructure.
In this project, UvA will analyze and design a Collaborative Information Management System to support the integration/inter-linking of variety of biodiversity information. The potential of applying GRID and Virtual Organizations concepts will also be explored.
