Module Related Entry
Module related entry
The Diversity Workbench is a set of components for building and
managing biodiversity information, each of which focuses on a particular
domain. 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. Entries related to an external
module have a standard interface in the main form. There are 2 states of
this interface:
1 - the value is only set in the local database with no connection to
the remote module
In this state, you can either type the value or select it from the
values that are already available in the database. To get a list of the
available values type the beginning of the value (you may use wildcards)
and click on
the 
button. If you want to set a relation to the remote module, click on
the 
button. A window will open where
you may select an entry from the foreign database.
2 - the value is related to the remote module
If the value has a relation to the remote module, the interface will
appear as shown above. To release the connection to the remote module
click on the 
button. If you need further
information about the value, click on
the button. This will open a form,
showing an overview of the related value.
If the client application of the module is available you can inspect the
details of the entry.
3 - relation to a webservice
Some modules provide the possibility to link your data to an external
webservice. For example DiversityTaxonNames gives you access to the
taxonomic names of IndexFungorum. To establish a connection to an
external webservice, click on the
button. As with the link to modules within the Diversity Workbench a
window will open where you can choose from either Diversity Workbench
modules or external Webservices. See Webservice for
further details.
