BiSciCol

BiSciCol (Biological Science Collections) Tracker is a funded NSF collaborative project with the goal of building an infrastructure designed to tag and track scientific collections and all of their derivatives.

BiSciCol Tools

All of the BiSciCol tools are in active development which means that until mid-way through 2013, you will expect to see certain broken links and perhaps not complete functionality. We have posted these tools here and make them available during our development process so we can get feedback from the community and our testers.

BiSciCol Identifier Tools provides tools to create Great and Useful Identifiers. These identifiers are useful both globally and locally, for individuals and organizations, and will satisfy the most demanding requirements related to resolution and persistance. Developers view the online Javadocs.

The Triplifier converts Spreadsheets, databases, and Darwin Core Archives into RDF/N3 files suitable for use in the Semantic Web and ingestion into the BiSciCol system.

The BiSciCol application lets users visualize graph connections of instances (Identifiers) contained in BiSciCol.

BiSciCol Terms describe how BiSciCol handles relations between Instances.

More Information

The BiSciCol Blog contains updates and current information for the BiSciCol Project including presentations, news items, and general project information.

All code for the BiSciCol applications are open source and available for use by the community at large. The Triplifier codebase contains relevant code for the Triplifier application while the BiSciCol codebase contains relevant code for Identifiers/GetMyGUID, Visualization, and Dataloading functions
