Wrappers/Provider Software
Three wrapper types are most often used:
- BioCASE (Biological Collection Access Service)
- DiGIR (Distributed Generic Information Retrieval)
- IPT (Integrated Publishing Toolkit
All provider softwares have pros and cons and use standard transfer schemes to exchange amongst others specimen and observation data stored in online accessible databases.
- BioCASe - ABCD Access to Biological Collection Data
- DiGIR and IPT - DarwinCore
