Some modules within
the DiversityWorkbench provide the
possibility to link your data
to an external webservice. For example
DiversityTaxonNames gives you
access to the taxonomic names of Index
Fungorum. To establish a
connection to this webservice, click on the
button. A window will open where you may choose Index Fungorum
from the database
list (see below).
Enter the query restriction
for the name in the
Name field in Query conditions. The
maximum number of records you receive may be
set in the max. results field
(choose a low number, if you have a slow
connection to the internet). Click on the search button
to start the query. In the
list in the
left upper part the results of the query will be listed. In the
right part of the window
additional information is shown as provided
by the webservice. For certain
entries buttons will appear, as e.g. shown
above for the basionym and the
current name of a scientific name. Click on
these buttons, if you wish to change
to one of these related data sets from the
webservice. If available, the
information provided on the corresponding website is shown in
the lower part. To include the link from the
webservice into your database choose one of
the entries and click OK. The
entry will change as shown below.
If you double-click on the
link area
,
a window will open providing you with the
retrieval information of the
webservice.
To receive the entire
information related to this entry as
provided by the webservice click on the
button. A window will open as shown below
where information on the
webservice is listed. If available, the
lower part will show the
corresponding information of a website.
If you wish to remove the
link to the webservice,
click on the button. This will only
remove the relation to the webservice, not
the cached name.
