To create a cache database as shown in a short
tutorial
and in the
chapter
Creation of the cache
database you need to be a system
administrator (s. Login administration).
After this step the cache database should be available and you can create a
Postgres database as final target of your data.
The final formatting of the data e.g. for publication
via webservice are performed in a Postgres database. If no server providing
Postgres is available, you may install Postgres on your local machine (see
https://www.postgresql.org/ for
further information). The creation and administration of a Postgres database is
described in a short tutorial
and in chapter Administration of the Postgres cache
databases.
This step is optional and depends upon the
availability of a source for e.g. taxonomic names. You may either use sources from
your local server or the public available sources provided by
tnt.diversityworkbench.de (turn to http://www.snsb.info for further
information). For a introduction see a short tutorial
. The needed settings are described in chapter
Sources from other modules.
The data published in the cache database are
organized according to the projects. Add a project as
shown in a short tutorial
and
described in chapter Projects in the cache database.
In the source database, make sure that the data within this project are not
withheld from publication (see chapter
Availability of data sets for more details)
and that the ranges you want to publish are set properly (see chapter
Restrictions for the datatransfer into the cache database).
The final transfer of the data is described in chapter Sources for other modules and chapter Transfer of the data.
To export the data or prepare them for publication according to the specifications of webservices etc. the data frequently need to be formatted. This is done with packages as described in chapter Administration of the Packages.
For publishers using ABCD like GBIF, use the
BioCASe provider software and mapping tool
to link the data formatted with the ABCD package.
