The PyWrapper serving BioCASe, ENBI and Species2000
Döring, M. & de la Torre, J. Department of Biodiversity Informatics, Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem, Koenigin-Luise-Str. 6-8, 14191 Berlin, GermanyThe PyWrapper developed by BioCASE is serving as a generic database wrapper which is successfully being operated for the BioCASe network (including access by GBIF data portals) and for Species2000 Global Species Databases. A project within the European Network of Biodiversity Information (ENBI) provides a helpdesk and active assistance for data providers wishing to participate in the network. Flexibility in serving different data standards as well as leaving existing database structures in place as much as possible is the major software design goal for the PyWrapper.
This software demonstration provides a look behind the curtain for the PyWrapper and shows the variety of current and potential usages. It will briefly show some of the software developed around it, present the latest development efforts and show some elaborate configuration aspects.
