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]]. |

35 | Useful information about the particular transformation processes will be found below |
||
36 | |||
37 | |||
38 | |||
39 | ### Euro+Med |
||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | Euro+Med data are stored in an extended Berlin Model database at [BGBM](http://www.bgbm.org/.) |
||
43 | |||
44 | The import will be done via the berlinmodel package within the cdmlib-io module of the [[CdmLibrary]]. Some ajustments have to be done for the extended data. |
||
45 | |||
46 | |||
47 | |||
48 | ### Fauna Europaea |
||
49 | |||
50 | |||
51 | |||
52 | ### Cichorieae |
||
53 | |||
54 | |||
55 | Cichorieae data are stored in an extended Berlin Model database at [BGBM](http://www.bgbm.org/.) |
||
56 | |||
57 | The import will be done via the berlinmodel package within the cdmlib-io module of the [[CdmLibrary]]. Some ajustments have to be done for the extended data. |
||
58 | |||
59 | |||
60 | |||
61 | ### Monocotyledonae |
||
62 | |||
63 | |||
64 | Monocotyledonae data are stored in a Sybase database at Kew and some extra data files. These data are transformed by Dave T. to an TCS/RDF document. |
||
65 | |||
66 | The import will be done via the coming tcs/rdf package within the cdmlib-io module of the [[CdmLibrary]]. |
||
67 | |||
68 | |||
69 | |||
70 | ### Diptera |
||
71 | |||
72 | |||
73 | The data exists as a word-file combined with an MS Access file for the references. |
||
74 | |||
75 | 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. |
||
76 | |||
77 | The data transformation was not complete and just for testing reason (especially testing zoological data within the Berlin Model (created for botanical data). |
||
78 | |||
79 | The final transformation will be done later ... |
