Technical Approach: BioCASE Separation of transfer protocol and content • protocol: BioCASe • content schema: ABCD • covers all types of biological collections • allows for a high degree of detail • uses variable atomization www.biocase.org
The BioCASe Protocol (1) • XML based specification for communication between providers and consumers • Works with any content schema • Defines three basic operations: • capabilities • scan • search
Internet Portal Client Meta-data Request XML Unit Wrapper http JDBC SQL BioCASe Protocol User Interface Client (Servlet) ? Java API ResponseXML UnitLoader UnitLoader http ! Data Flow, simplified Data Provider Unit wrapper Config.Files Unit data Unit data C
AccesstoBiologicalCollectionData an XML Schema for: • collection information – unit data • scientific names from identifications • data on the collection as such • data origin, IPR etc. www.bgbm.org/TDWG/CODATA/Schema/default.htm

Integration into GBIF • Software components (portal / provider) freely available • GBIF portal understands DiGIR and BioCASe protocol • Darwin Core and ABCD records integrated into user interface
