ACCESS TOOL
DATA QUALITY
BDD is based on the Darwin Core standard (DwC), published by TDWG, that is centered on
taxa, their occurrence in nature as documented by observations, specimens, and samples,
and related information. Standards such as the MRTG, currently submitted as TDWG
standard, for collation, management and dissemination of multimedia resources relevant to
biodiversity, and the Dublin Core, an interoperable metadata standard that supports a broad
range of purposes and business models, are used as complement to DwC. Draft standards,
developed with FAO for specific purposes, are also implemented as modules in BDD:
interactions between specimens, environmental monitoring and pollination deficit
The BDD is a browser-based system that can be accessed remotely from a server, or locally,
when installed on a personal computer. Among its main features are the registration and
handling (update, delete, and search) of species’ occurrences (specimens), following the
Darwin Core, and of specimen interaction data, following the Interaction Extension. The data
can be displayed on maps or table records, and can be published to other systems with the
TDWG Access Protocol for Information Retrieval (TAPIR).
The BDD helps users improve and maintain data quality. Where relevant, users are
prompted by lists of suggested entries based on authoritative databases, such as the one
obtained from the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) for taxonomic names.
When the user fills in a scientific name in the BDD, and this name is in the reference list, or
has already been registered, all other fields linked to it (kingdom, phylum, class, etc.) will
be automatically filled in, enhancing and completing the data record and decreasing the
chance of entry errors. New features, always keeping data quality in mind, are being
developed, such as user access control, validation of new records by key users, upload
and publication of images and their metadata, a database of bibliographic references, and
the ability to load data from spreadsheets.
DEVELOPMENT
The BDD was an outgrowth of the Pollinator Data Digitizer (PDD), which was developed
within the scope of the Pollinator Thematic Network of the Inter-American Biodiversity
Information Network (IABIN-PTN). It is based on open source software, including: PHP
scripts, Postgre database, and the Yii framework. For the future, it can evolve to
accommodate the new Interaction Extension recent developed by FAO.

DIGITIZAÇÃO E PUBLICAÇÃO DE DADOS DE BIODIVERSIDADE
PRESENTATION
The Biodiversity Data Digitizer (BDD) is a tool designed for easy
digitization, manipulation, and publication of biodiversity data. It stands
out by allowing the user to manipulate its data simply and objectively,
especially the data from field observations and small collections, which
do not justify or demand the use of collection management software.STANDARDS

CORE
AUTO-SUGGESTION
A mechanism for data quality (taxonomic and locality elements) that
suggests values based on authoritative databases, such as ITIS
and Geonames.
MAP VIEWS
BDD has a map tool that plots
occurrence records from the database.
Filters help you refine your analysis.
MEDIA & REFERENCES
BDD offers tools to manage and relate
media and reference files with
occurrence and interaction records
TAPIR ProviderA TAPIR provider is built into BDD. It
publishes records from the database in
the standard schemas (Darwin Core,
Dublin Core, etc.)
Interaction Records
Interaction tool allows one to register
the relationship between two occurrence
records.
