database provides examples used in the BRAHMS training exercises.
Databases can be published online individually or in simultaneously searched groups of linked SQL Server databases encouraging regional collaboration and data sharing. Seamless links are provided from within BRAHMS 6 to your designated server with tools to create and update home pages
and data resources online.
Links to global biodiversity networks including GBIF have been strengthened using ABCD and the BioCASe protocol
and a new XML transfer
option provides complete database portability.
