Collaborative Research: DiGIR-Map, a Web-Based Mapping and Analysis Tool for Natural History Collections

加州大学伯克利分校与俄勒冈州立大学合作，获得了一笔赠款，用于开发基于Web的地理信息系统软件和工具，旨在利用现有独立DIVA系统的功能，并能够对互联网上快速增长的丰富的自然历史标本分布数据进行易于实现和在线分析。该项目很好地融入了DiGIR社区，并将使机构能够对大型数据集进行复杂的分析，这些机构既缺乏广泛的自然历史收集，也缺乏以前对生物分布的大规模空间分布分析所必需的重大硬件和软件投资。

Abstract 0417247The University of California Berkeley, in collaboration with Oregon State University has been awarded a grant to develop web based GIS software and tools designed to exploit the capabilities of the existing stand alone DIVA system and to enable easily implemented and online analyses of the rapidly growing wealth of natural history specimen distribution data available on the internet. The project is well integrated in the DiGIR community and will enable sophisticated analyses of large datasets at institutions that lack both the extensive natural history collections and significant hardware and software investments that were previously necessary for large scale spatial distribution analyses of organism distributions.
