3. TDWG 2009 - Andreas Kohlbecker Taxonomic Workflow in the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy Aims EDIT aims to integrate taxonomic research at multiple levels. At the IT Level: Improve and assure reusability of data Integrate software tools into one platform (existing & new developments) An open platform of loosely coupled components A platform to support the full taxonomic workflow  The EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy

8. TDWG 2009 - Andreas Kohlbecker Taxonomic Workflow in the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy Assuring Reusability of Data Many existing applications for each domain of information, but Lack of support for data exchange Hard to integrate data from different domains

9. TDWG 2009 - Andreas Kohlbecker Taxonomic Workflow in the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy Common Data Model (CDM) New development covering all domains of information Leans on existing standards / models like TDWG Ontology Exchange format Expandable

10. TDWG 2009 - Andreas Kohlbecker Taxonomic Workflow in the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy IO A Software Library Build on top of the CDM A base for many platform components A data store and data server  CDM Community Store Import/Export functionality + Web Services = Glues the Platform together CDM Library

11. TDWG 2009 - Andreas Kohlbecker Taxonomic Workflow in the EDIT Platform for Cybertaxonomy The Taxonomic Editor A new editor for the new data model. Offers CDM Library import/export functionality to end users. A key tool for data integration.
