OpenBioMaps is an open and free biological database service. This service based on the idea to create maintainable public services for scientific and conservation databases[1][2]. The OpenBioMaps uses opensource software components to store, visualize and publish scientific and conservation related data. The OpenBioMaps consortium is a collaboration of institutes to keep running these public services. The OpenBioMaps web application originally was developed with support of DANUBEPARKS - Network Of Protected Areas project to visualize public data of three national parks in this project[3][4]. From 2014 the Milvus Group joined to the development. They created the OpenBirdMaps database[5] using the OpenBioMaps.
OpenBioMaps Idea[edit]
The OpenBioMap based on the "maintainable source use" idea[1] which means: there is no central budget, no central institutes and no employees. The servers and the maintenance work hours are contributions from those institutes which use the OpenBioMaps and share the extra capacity of their servers.
OpenBioMaps Softwares[edit]
Free and open-source application suit for data management especially for creating biological databases and managing biological data.
The OpenBioMaps database framework using open-source softwares: PostgreSQL, PostGIS, MapServer, OpenLayers, Apache webserver, Debian Linux
The web applications written in: PHP and JavaScript,
The additional software components written in several languages: R, Perl, bash, JAVA[6]
