Architecture for Publication of Data on Biodiversity in Research Institutions

Abstract

ABSTRACT Since the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in Science and Humanities published in 2003, the demand for an "open science" whose primary concern is to make research activity more transparent, more collaborative and more efficient, has grown at the academy. Added to this, the perception that the access and sharing of research data contribute significantly to science advance and maximize the investments applied in research programs has been consolidated. In this sense, the present work presents a proposal composed of digital repositories and computational tools aimed at publishing and sharing of information resources in research institutes. The proposed architecture, based on free and open-source tools, proved adequate for the management and publication of information resources in research institutions. However, this approach pointed to the need for a search tool that integrates the different tools, as well as the existence of a controlled vocabulary, capable of indexing resources in their different contexts.
