6 | # Sample Data Conversion |
||
7 | |||
8 | |||
9 | Once the CDM Library works properly it should be filled with test data. |
||
10 | |||
11 | Some of the data that are planned to convert are data form the major European taxonomic datasets like |
||
12 | |||
13 | |||
14 | * [Euro+Med](http://www.emplantbase.org/home.html) |
||
15 | |||
16 | * [Fauna Europaea](http://www.faunaeur.org/) |
||
17 | |||
18 | |||
19 | but also from the EDIT exemplar groups |
||
20 | |||
21 | |||
22 | * [cichorieae](http://wp6-cichorieae.e-taxonomy.eu/blog/home) |
||
23 | |||
24 | * [Monocotyledonae](http://www.editwebrevisions.info/node/33) |
||
25 | |||
26 | * [insects](http://www.edit-insects.info/node/793) |
||
27 | |||
28 | |||
29 | The data come from different types of datasources like MS Word-files, Berlin Model databases, Sybase database ... |
||
30 | |||
31 | |||
32 | 2 | Andreas Müller | Also the import process to CDM will go different ways to test the different import/export options within the [[CdmLibrary]]. |

43 | 5 | Andreas Müller | ## Euro+Med |
44 | 1 | Andreas Müller | |
45 | |||
46 | Euro+Med data are stored in an extended Berlin Model database at [BGBM](http://www.bgbm.org/.) |
||
47 | 4 | Andreas Müller | |
48 | 1 | Andreas Müller | The import will be done via the berlinmodel package within the [cdmlib-io module](http://wp5.e-taxonomy.eu/cdmlib/site/cdmlib-io/) of the [[CdmLibrary]]. Some ajustments have to be done for the extended data. |

66 | 1 | Andreas Müller | |
67 | |||
68 | 9 | David Taylor | Monocotyledonae data are stored in a Sybase database at Kew and some extra data files. These data are transformed by Dave Taylor. to an TCS/RDF document. |
69 | 1 | Andreas Müller | |
70 | The import will be done via the coming tcs/rdf package within the cdmlib-io module of the [[CdmLibrary]]. |

78 | 1 | Andreas Müller | |
79 | |||
80 | The data exists as a word-file combined with an MS Access file for the references. |
||
81 | |||
82 | Some test transformation has been performed by Andreas M. on these data using MS Excel / Visual Basic / XML / Java. The data were transformed into a Berlin Model database. From there they may be easily transformed into CDM. |
||
83 | |||
84 | The data transformation was not complete and just for testing reason (especially testing zoological data within the Berlin Model (created for botanical data). |
||
85 | |||
86 | The final transformation will be done later ... |
