PlutoF Citizen ScienceThere is a citizen science module available on PlutoF workbench to create projects for biodiversity data mobilization. Project coordinator can create new project and custom data input form that can be used for collecting data in a uniform and standard way.Ongoing developments will also able to share their data through APIs, as well as data recording through API tools.

● Compatible with Darwin Core standards ● Can be published through the GBIF IPT (Integrated Publishing Toolkit).

Current consensus for the taxonomic backbone is that it should follow PESI for the European species lists and higher classifications.

CS Open Data with DKANCSOD is an open source, open data platform with a full suite of data and content management cataloging, publishing and visualization features. It provides features that make it easy to upload, parse, store, publish, catalog and visualize a vast array of data, including spreadsheets, text documents and maps.

Datasets and Resources with DKAN and CKANDKAN is an open data portal built in Drupal. DKAN is designed to be feature-compatible with CKAN, the Open Data portal built by the Open Knowledge Foundation.

DKAN Features

With DKAN, you can:● Easily publish datasets in key machine readable formats

including JSON, XML, RDF and more● Share datasets through an API● Manage the importing of large datasets

DatasetA dataset contains individual resources as well as metadata. Metadata is the "Who, What, When, Where, Why" of each dataset. There are a number of specifications for dataset metadata and DKAN currently complies with the DCAT and Project Open Data schemas.It is possible to add new fields to DKAN to conform to additional specifications or custom requirements.

ResourceResources are the actual files, APIs or links that are being shared. Resource types include csv, html, xls, json, xlsx, doc, docx, rdf, txt, jpg, png, gif, tiff, pdf, odf, ods, odt, tsv, geojson and xml files.
