It includes a postgreSQL database and web interface for optimizing the input, management, and sharing of species occurrence data, metadata and vouchers produced on a day-by-day basis by biodiversity laboratories involved in the delimitation, inventory and distribution of species.
The tool is particularly suitable for designing and monitoring biodiversity projects that employ an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphology-based and DNA-based species occurrence data to explain biodiversity patterns.
In addition to managing multi-criteria species occurrence data, GOTIT offers a number of functionalities that are pivotal in optimizing biodiversity research within laboratories. First, it provides the necessary traceability for recovering the full set of methods and biological material linked to any species taxa occurrence data produced by the hosting laboratory. Second, the database accommodates species occurrence and DNA sequence data that are not produced by the hosting laboratory, thereby enabling any user working on a particular set of taxa to dispose of all available data concerning those taxa into a single database.
Third, access to the database can be granted to any users, including those outside the hosting laboratory. This promotes information sharing among laboratories while managing the privileges allocated to each user. At last, GOTIT is implemented and distributed following public license practices, so that the tool can be adapted by advanced developers to fulfill a laboratories specific requirements.
