针对生物多样性研究领域的需求与现有GIS平台的局限,运用GML和SVG等相关技术设计实现了一个基于XML标本地理信息系统——SpecimenMapping。该系统具有导人常见空间数据格式、投影坐标互相转化、管理个人标本数据、导人其他格式的标本数据、图形化显示标本地理信息、分布地生态因子分析和栖息地预测等功能,具有基于开放标准便于功能扩展、方便操作、针对性强等特点。
Due to the requirement of the biodiversity research and the limitation of current GIS tools, we designed and implemented a Specimen-geographical Information System based on XML technology with GML and SVG technology, SpecimenMapping, which provides some functions for biological specimen data management, such as importing other format spatial data , converting coordinates from one kind of projection to another , editing the personal specimen information graphically, displaying distribution maps of specimen, and analyzing the ecological factors of the habitat, etc. This system is designed specially for biodiversity researchers, so it's more friendly and easy to use. It is more important that it is based on open standards and more scalable for further development.
