Modules

The Diversity Workbench  is a set of components for building and managing biodiversity information, each of which focuses on a particular domain. 

DiversityAgents	Administration of the agents, i.e. people and institutions which should be documented with e.g. their addresses
DiversityCollection	Administration of the scientific collections, specimens within these collections and observations
DiversityDescriptions	Administration of the descriptive data
DiversityGazetteers	A data collection to enable the linking of geographical records with the Getty Thesaurus of Geographical Names (TGN), the German GN250 database and other sources of geographical names
DiversityProjects	Administration of projects
DiversityReferences	Administration of litarature references
DiversityTaxonNames	Administration of taxonomic names, their synonyms and hierarchical position

Each module provides services for the other modules. To use the service of a module, you need access to the database of the module and optionally the module application placed in your application directory.
