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 the Pan-European Species
directories Infrastructure (PESI). To establish a
connection to this webservice, click on the
button. A window will open where you can choose PESI
from the database
list (see below).
Enter the query restriction
for the name in the
Name field in Query conditions. 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. On the
right part of the window
additional information is shown as provided
by 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.
