Short Description
The ABOL data base serves several functions:
1. as a working database for project partners - data can be stored safely during the data generation process - the partners are also supported in the submission process to the international DNA barcode platform BOLD.
2. as a data provider for data base partners: ABOL passes on biodiversity data to partners - mainly to BOLD, but also to GBIF, ZoBoDat and the Biodiversity Atlas Austria, but also to local data bases of protected areas etc.
3. as a place of quality control, before the data is made available to public (especially in BOLD)
