  2. SPECIES BANKS DATABASES: Type of site Table 1. Summary statistics regarding 234 of the 298 web resources in the URL compilation. Dynamic databases -- Sites which use a database from which are generated different views of the data such as HTML pages Collection of Static Databases -- Sites which are simply a set of HTML pages, probably edited by hand

  3. Dynamic databases

  4. Static Pages

  5. SPECIES BANKS DATABASES: Type of system Table 2. Summary statistics regarding 229 of the 298 web resources in the URL compilation. Data warehouse (Sites which store all of the data from different sources in a central location ). Web Service (Sites which act as a portal through which information is brought from many resources in answer to the user’s query ). Redirecting links (Sites which provide links to a set of other resources by redirection to those web sites or by dynamic queries of their data).

  6. Data Warehouse

  7. Network

  8. Web services model

  9. SPECIES BANKS DATABASES: Type of Website Table 3. Summary statistics regarding 230 of the 298 web resources in the URLcompilation. Standalone database(Created by a project or institution). Collaborative project(Created by a collaborative effort among several institutions/individuals). Distributed System(existing as an interaction among different databases at different websites via a common web distributor ).

  13. SPECIES BANKS DATABASES: Additional information Table 4. Summary statistics regarding the 243 species data resources that include more than taxonomic information.

  14. Additional information: Molecular data

  15. Additional information: Keys

  16. Additional information: Image files (Photo Gallery, Image Search)

  17. Additional information: Sounds

  18. Additional information: Distributions

  19. Basic scientific name information Table 5. Comparison of percentages of sites providing information in addition to basic taxonomy between the total number included in the general “white database of species banks” and the 243 that do provide some sort of additional information (see Table 4).

  20. Last update Table 6. Percentage of sites in several time categories among the 140 sites that have an explicit indication of recency of the last update.

  21. Users • There is a correlation not only between the type of organisation that maintains a species bank and the class of intended users of that species bank, but also between the class of intended users and the longevity of the site. • National parks, zoos, museums and citizen-groups mount websites intended for the general public. • Sites aimed at amateur enthusiast audiences generally are maintained by NGOs, museums and zoos. • Universities, research centres and government institutions tend to design and maintain sites aimed at scientists and higher-level students. These are the sites with greatest longevity.
