where and when we work

what we deal with

Objects

Basics

• Collections – Objects Size / Scalability small -> (medium) -> large

• Structure General Collection / separate Collections

• Coverage / Relevance / Activity local – regional – – > global scientific – historic – documentation closed / activ

Data

• Object based Collection(s) ”Data” vs. “Meta-Data”

• Data Capture / Availability / Usage / Resuse

• Maintenance / Sustainability

• Connection(s) / Networks Standards ISO / OGC / FOAF / DC (MODS) ABCD & DwC Archive / TCS

Workflows

• physical / virtual

• traditional Monographs – printed Annotation Refiling

• Web-based Systems Scratchpads / Edit Platform Cybertaxonomy

revisions and new taxonomic results

Workflow Diagram

Requirements System design

Costefficiency !! simple Interfaces for data capture ! webbased – no client-side Software-Installation !! Flexibility ! Datensecurity !! Availability over Internet !! Collabration !!

Content Specimens !! Literature !! Nomenclatur !!! & Taxonomy !!! & Classifikations !!!

Implementation Costefficiency !! Open Source Software

productive System MySQL / PHP / AJAX / JS / JQuery / DJATOKA Codebase SourceForge.Net / SVN - - > GITHub

webbased no (!) Client-Software-Installation

Implementation Flexibility ! direct Collaboration with IT-developer Ideas definition of Requirements quick Implementation Datasecurity !! separate Input- / Output- / Web- / Systems-Development-Server

2013 virtual infrastructure of Uni Vienna 5 Replications UNI Vienna ZID / NHM Vienna / Uni Graz / Uni Halle / BGBM

Implementation Display over Internet !! Free Specimens-/ObjectData visible In accordance with owner of data (institutions)

release to GBIF & EUROPEANA GZU, HAL, JE, KFTA, LW, LWS, W, WU participating GPI-JSTOR If available images for specimens are displayed over Internet

Implementation Collaboration!! basic consideration for Systems Development Specimens / Objects & User – institutionally separated Data are collected in „one pot“ used and delivered for various purposes

Revision and Annotation

• conventional / by specialists on physical material

• new possibilities / by everybody (?) on records

ANNOSYS – BGBM

open questions

• Services persistent availability of external sources

caching vs. import (G)UIDs

• Data Complementation of various Data Sources

Forking and Desynchronization of Content GUIDs

points for discussion

Curation and Handling

• physical / virtual

• names / taxa (stable) labels / (volatile) concepts

• classifications used for filing (?)

• „removal“ of information from source
