Summary
Abstract:
Biota 2 builds on the success of Biota 1, with a new interface and many new
features based on 7 years of user experience managing specimen-based
biodiversity and collections data for ecologists, biodiversity inventories, and
collections managers in 40 countries and 47 U.S. states. Its easy-to-use
graphical interface harnesses the power of a fully relational database powered
by an industrial-grade engine (4th Dimension, www.4d.com ).
With a comprehensive, profusely illustrated and cross-referenced Manual on CD
and an introductory tutorial to back up intuitive menus and screens, Biota 2
offers a rich array of user-tested tools for rapid data input, update,
maintenance, analysis, reporting, and Web publication
Biota helps you manage specimen-based biodiversity and collections data by
providing an easy-to-use graphical interface to a fully relational database
structure.
