VertNet Darwin Core Data Migrator toolkit

General toolkit for working with VertNet data. We call these data "migrators." Once customized to an original data source, it converts the original data into Darwin Core ready for upload to an Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) resource.

Checklist recipe

This checklist recipe contains all the ingredients to make your data standardization open, repeatable, customizable and documented. The core functionality is an R Markdown file that makes use of the widely adopted tidyverse R packages to automatically transform a source data file to a Darwin Core checklist. Any user with a basic knowledge of R can customize the code to their own needs and explain specific data mapping decisions. In combination, this makes the standardization process repeatable and transparent.

The recipe is based on the experience we gained by publishing checklist data for the TrIAS project. We hope it helps you standardize and publish your own checklist.

Canadensys coordinate converter

This tool is useful to convert geographic coordinates from sexagesimal degrees (eg.: 45°32'25"N, 129°40'31"W) to decimal degrees (eg.: 45.5402778, -129.6752778).

QuantumGIS

Una interesante alternativa a Diva GIS, que resulta más generalista, no tan enfocada a biología, pero que posee código abierto, disponibilidad para trabajar en múltiples plataformas (Windows, Mac, Linux), es desarrollada continuamente de manera muy rápida y muy eficaz y presenta un sistema de complementos muy interesante.

Google Fusion Tables

No es una herramienta de calidad de los datos en sí misma pero algunas de sus funcionalidades pueden realizar una evaluación sencilla de la calidad de los datos:

  • Permite la creación simple de mapas (o gráficos) a partir de datos tabulares.
  • Alojamiento sencillo
  • Permite compartir en línea
  • Geocodificación
  • ...
