Title: | From field observation to organised data management in Croatia | Authors: | Zadravec, Mladen Popović, Miloš Živanović, Nenad Golubović, Ana Burić, Ivona Koren, Toni |
Issue Date: | Sep-2018 | Conference: | 13th Croatian Biological Congress | Abstract: | Over the last several decades, many technological advances in information technologies and database management have made it easier for biologists to collect, handle and analyse large quantities of data. In parallel, advances in networking and the advent of ever powerful smartphones and tablets have made it possible to access that data via the internet from everywhere in the world. Association Hyla started working on an internal database for herpetofauna ten years ago, which was recently expanded to cover Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Odonata, and their habitats. But it is lacking a way to present the data to the public and the ability for direct data input, instead of piecemeal collecting through various social media platforms. Many global biodiversity databases had been developed (e.g. Fauna Europaea, GBIF, and iNaturalist). However, a database focusing on Croatia exist only for flora (Flora Croatica Database) while for fauna several are still in development (e.g. Marine Partnership, CroDolphin Little and Fauna.hr/NaturaList). A user friendly and open source database, Biologer.org, had been created recently for Serbia along with an application for smartphones. This system, with some adaptations, has been adopted by Association Hyla. Although currently separated, the databases are compatible and can be merged to serve as a foundation for a future pan-Balkan faunistic and habitat database. Razvoj informacijske tehnologije i upravljanja bazama podataka tijekom zadnjih nekoliko desetljeća omogućili su biolozima lako sakupljanje, obrađivanje i analiziranje velikih količina podataka. Usporedno, razvoj mrežnih sustava i pojava sve jačih pametnih telefona i tableta omogućili su pristup tim podacima iz bilo kojeg kraja svijeta putem interneta. Udruga Hyla je započela raditi na bazi podataka vodozemaca i gmazova prije deset godina, za internu upotrebu, koja se širila i na vretenca, kornjaše i leptire te njihova staništa. No u njoj nedostaje način prikaza podataka i mogućnost izravnog unosa, koji bi bili jednostvniji od e-maila ili društvenih mreža Udruge kako je to do sada bilo uobičajeno. U svijetu su razvijene mnoge baze za bilježenje bioraznolikosti (npr. Fauna Europaea, GBIF, ili iNaturalist). Međutim, među bazama koje su usredotočene na Hrvatsku postoji samo za floru – Flora Croatica, ali za faunu se tek razvijaju javno dostupni sustavi za bilježenje vrsta (npr. Marine Partnership, CroDolphin Little i Fauna.hr/NaturaList). Jednostavna i otvorenog koda, Biologer platforma nedavno je napravljena za Srbiju te uključuje mogućnost jednostavnog unosa podataka putem aplikacije za pametne telefone. Sustav je usvojen i u Udruzi Hyla, uz neke prilagodbe. Iako su trenutačno odvojene baze, još uvijek su kompatibilne – moguće ih je povezati u budućnosti, kao temelj pan-balkanske faunističke baze i baze staništa. |
