Museum websites
This page lists the information systems, databases and software applications to which the Finnish GBIF Node and the Biodiversity Informatics Team of the Finnish Museum of Naturla History have contributed to.
Checklists of names. Cross-linking of different checklists. Resolution of synonyms, splitting and lumping of taxa using the underlying taxonomic concepts, and more. Starting with Nordic Lepidoptera, but growing to cover all groups that occur in Finland or lists that are being managed by Finnish scientists. Contact us, if you want to have your checklist published here. Beta version, released 2008-08-29.
Biological taxonomies of the FinnONTO-project in semantic web. Currently birds of Finland and mammals of the world.
Havaintopäiväkirja ("field journal") is a database for nature observations of any organisms observed anywhere on earth. The site was published in January 2006 and contained ca. 1 million observations in August 2008.
Database for insect observations from Finland, built and managed by Matti Virtala, and hosted by the FMNH.
Metadatabase of Finnish networks, organisations, collections, surveys, and databases that deal with biodiversity. NODIT was originated by the EU BioCASE project, but this version has been expanded in Finland in 2007-2008. The database should be always up to date, so contact us if your data is missing or not up to date here! These data are also partially available in our Metacat-server.
These have been imaged and digitised since 2009 in a project of the National Digital Library. So far about 30 books have been interpreted which is 10-15% of all. They can be browsed and searched.
Suitable for large databases. Download for own use from Sourceforge.
Suitable for publishing small datasets in spreadsheet format here and now.
