ABOL (Austrian Barcode of Life) Coordination
Wien | Website
Short Description
The ABOL data base serves several functions:
1. as a work data base for project partners - data can be saved safely during the data generation phase - the partners are also supported in the submission process to the international data platform BOLD.
2. as a data provider for data base partners: ABOL passes on biodiversity data to partners - imainly to BOLD, but also to GBIF, ZoBoDat and the Biodiversity Atlas Austria, but also to local data bases of protected areas etc.
3. as a place of quality Control, before the data is made available to everyone (especially in BOLD)
