Catalogue:Applications

The iMarine infrastructure offers 4 main application clusters that can be customized and / or enriched. Each application in the infrastructure is tightly integrated with the underlying gCube enabling software, and can access and re-purpose data from other iMarine applications.

Through the enabling environment of gCube, all users benefit from infrastructure services <link>,

The 4 key-applications that iMarine has delivered and continues to enrich are:

• BiolCube; focuses on the management and interpretation of biological and ecological data in the environment.
• StatyCube; a complete full life-cycle data framework, from observational data to aggregated data repositories enriched with validation and analytical tools.
• GisCube; tightly connected to the BiolCube, the framework, based on OGC compliant tools and services manage the storage and interpretation of geospatial explicit information, including WPS processing.
• SemCube; brings semantic technologies for publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful to end-users, enabling them to produce LOD, to share information in a way that can be read automatically by computers. This enables data from different sources to be connected and queried.

BiolCube is available as a suite that packs many useful features in one environment to have a complete work-space for biologists working with occurrence data and reviewing species names. It offers:

• Occurrence data finder
• Species name finder
• Species name matcher
• Biodiversity mapper, already producing AquaMaps
• Species fact-sheets

StatyCube offers a complete data suite etc.
