=What is the DNA Module?=
 
The DNA Module is an open source software for DNA data input and management. It was developed within the framework of the DNA Bank Network. The Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem (BGBM) is in charge of development and support of this software.
 
  
=What is GBIF?=
+
=The Network=
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility enables free and open access to biodiversity data online. It is an international government-initiated and funded initiative focused on making biodiversity data available to all and anyone, for scientific research, conservation and sustainable development. GBIF provides an information infrastructure – an Internet-based index of a globally distributed network of interoperable databases that contain primary biodiversity data – information on museum specimens, field observations of plants and animals in nature, and results from experiments – so that data holders across the world can access and share them.

=Unique concept=
 
<div id="wikinote">The main idea of the DNA Module is to connect your DNA data to a specimen database via wrappers following the idea and data architecture of GBIF. Thereby specimen data will always be up-to-date because you get the data from the original database.</div>
 
DNA data without specimen voucher information is useless. To ensure a taxonomic verification it is essential to provide DNA ''AND'' specimen data.
 
  
==Why should I use the DNA Module?==
+
=GGBN Data Standard and BioCASe=
The Module is suitable for institutions that have or are planning to have a DNA bank. If your institution doesn't have a specimen database yet the Specimen Tool which is part of the DNA Module might be suitable for you as well.
+
* Coming soon
  
==Features==
+
=GGBN Data Standard and DwC-A=
The Module offers several tools for data administration.
+
* Coming soon
* Input DNA data
 
* Search/Edit DNA data
 
* Links to GenBank and BOLD entries
 
* Administrate Customer Requests
 
* Add (Molecular) Publications to DNA data
 
* Specimen Tool
 
* Configuration
 
* Data Cleaning
 
 
 
Please find out more about features [[Features|here]].
 
 
 
==What are the legal aspects?==
 
The software ist free and open source. By installing and using it you don't enter into a commitment.
 
<div id="wikinote">Please note that it is possible but no obligation to share your DNA data with other people by joining the DNA Bank Network's web portal.</div>
 
 
 
==What technical requirements are required?==
 
The Module is optimised for PHP5 and MySQL5 (both free software). The database and the scripts has to be installed on a webserver so that more than one people can work with the Module. If only one person will be authorised to work with the Module a local installation is also possible.<br>
 
Any GBIF compliant specimen database worldwide can be accessed by the DNA Module.<br>
 
Please contact your local administrator to check these requirements.
 
<div id="wikinote">Please note that it is obligate to install the Module on a webserver if you want to provide your DNA data via the DNA Bank Network's web portal.</div>
 
 
 
==How can I get it?==
 
The sourcecode of DNA Module 1.0 is available at http://ww2.biocase.org/svn/dnabank/DNA_Module/Version1.0. A second version will be available soon.
 
 
 
=Who I may contact for further questions?=
 
Please don't hesitate to contact the DNA Bank Network if you have any further questions: mail[at]dnabank-network.org
