We are happy to announce that the novel database schema has been created. The new database is based on a relational model, just as it was before, but uses PostgreSQL instead of MS-Access.

This aims at the avoidance of data duplication as well as data anomalies and with this supports data integrity.

In a meeting with PANGAEA, it was discussed how to further simplify the upload of data once entered in ArboDat. Close cooperation with the PANGAEA program developers is planned for the implementation of the PANGAEA upload interface of ArboDat+.
The current ArboDat interface was analysed in depth with regard to the current potential needs of its users. Please let us know (either here as a comment or in the forum section), which changes to ArboDat you would find useful.
