Morphbank Team
Morphbank is an open web repository of biological images serving the research community. Any research biologist may use the morphbank tools
First developed in 1998 by a Swedish-American-Spanish consortium as an ftp site
Now centered at the School of Computation Sciences (SCS), Florida State University
March 2005 - Morphbank team awarded 3-year NSF grant (BDI 0446224) to develop the software
What is Morphbank
Morphbank 2.5.5
• Browse and search based on objects in Morphbank
• Published vs. unpublished data
• Group access/security
• Reviewer Accounts
• Access requires only a Web browser
• Edit/upload from the Web & Excel upload
• Darwin Core standard for data definitions
• MorphbankID (mbID) but searchable by the origional file name for that image.
• Online users manual and FAQ
• Curators and a help desk and can arrange for a project workshop
• User branding
• Backup-second server + tape backup

External links
• Create Annotation (xml, determination, legacy and general) and Collections
• Mirror images using ftp account
• Maintain publication information
• Web linking
– Use images in your own Web page using morphbank ID
– Link to any morphbank object (collection, annotation, image, specimen) using the morphbank ID.
• Work with the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). Use as the taxonomic name
service plus the ability to add names to Morphbank not presently in ITIS
– Annotate names already in ITIS
– collaboration with ITIS to submit names directly to their system from morphbank.

Image hosting/linking
http://www.hymatol.org/Chalcidkey/E. Grissell, M. E. Schauff & Mike Gates
Add links to publication records, search function for those publications
Mirrors/Image cache (2.5.5)
• Create tools to manage your objects– These tools make it easier to limit records displayed by user or group, and make changes to multiple records.
• Make upload and data management easier• Web services• Use ontologies and structured language
– Tagging, simple form of annotations
• Modification of the collection tool for creating Character/Character States• Build matrices for phylogenetics and key creation (see poster session)• Specific interface design for histological studies (see poster session)
Future Directions
Morphbank manager (beta)
Morphbank 2.7 - Character State Annotations
Import and export Nexus files
