•Tailored to entomological/invertebrate collections•Browser based•Data entry over Internet to central server•Open source software – MySQL database•Efficient data entry navigation using TAB
keyor mouse•Multiple modes
–Museum Mode–Edit Mode–Report Mode
•Unique specimen identifiers, batch loading
PBI Specimen Database Approach
![Page 5: Web-based Specimen Databasing: Lessons from the Plant Bug Planetary Biodiversity Inventory Project presented by Randall T. Schuh Curator and Chair Division](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649cb05503460f949753bb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Justification•Facilitate specimen tracking
Necessary Attributes•Machine readability– Bar codes– Matrix codes
•Human readability•Small size of code-bearing
labels•Ease of integration intoexisting collection practices
Unique Specimen Identification

•Main data entry mode
•Most effective using Mozilla Firefox browser– Allows for multiple keystroke searching in drop-down menus
– Retains and displays prior entries in memory

• MySQL enterprise-level multithread backend
• SQL compliant, facilitating data retrieval
• Highly scaleable with no restrictions on database size or numbers of users
• Rapid response time
• GBIF compliant
• Allows for both unique specimen identification and lot-based approaches
Database Strengths
![Page 56: Web-based Specimen Databasing: Lessons from the Plant Bug Planetary Biodiversity Inventory Project presented by Randall T. Schuh Curator and Chair Division](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649cb05503460f949753bb/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
•Requires broadband connection
•Requires high resolution monitor
Database/Interface Requirements
![Page 57: Web-based Specimen Databasing: Lessons from the Plant Bug Planetary Biodiversity Inventory Project presented by Randall T. Schuh Curator and Chair Division](https://reader037.vdocuments.site/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649cb05503460f949753bb/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Positive• Web-based approach well-adapted to
geographically distributed team• Web-based research tools improve productivity
through user feedback network• Common problems resolved through singular
solutions
Negative (applying to all software usage)• Data model allows for duplications due to lack
of familiarity and training• Effective use requires some adaptation on part
of users
Lessons Learned
