  2. BGBM herbarium database • MS SQL-Server with MS Access frontend • Specimen data widely in one database • Common backbone for names, collectors, countries • System covers most BGBM specific needs • Data published through • BioCASEProvider Software to BioCASE, GBIF and GPI • Herbarium Images Web site

  3. BGBM herbarium database BUT: • No open source software • No web frontend for data editing • No use or provision of web services • Limited collaboration opportunities (because of BGBM customisation) • 420.000 digitised (label data) • 178.000 digital images

  4. Migration to Jacq • BGBM decided to use Jacq as the new specimen collection database software • Jacq development started by Heimo Rainer in Vienna (under the name “virtual herbaria”) • Open source software • Role based access system for different kind of tasks • Simple easy to use task oriented web frontend • Institutions without own IT-infrastructure can simply join the network

  5. Migration to Jacq • Currently, about 15 institutions from Europe and Latin-America using the system • One central name backbone with only validated entries with nomenclatural references • Data entry supported by different lookup web services (e.g. HUH, IPNI) • Specimen data are shared across partners • Djatoka image server integration • BioCASEProvider Software pre-installed => all partners can publish their data immediately to BioCASE, GBIF or GPI

  6. BGBM contributions to Jacq • Development of the roles and rights system • Development of a new web interface • Integration of additional web services (map services, annotation system) • Implementing a stable identifier system

  7. Issues • Do we need common URI-patterns? • Structure and content of (rdf) metadata? • Interfaces (harvesting, query)? • Registration of services? • …
