Visualization of georeferenced information in form of maps can report important benefits on daily taxonomist work.

EDIT Geographic tools makes possible:-as taxonomist, visualize your own georeferenced point data (EDIT

MapViewer)

-as web-developer, get distribution maps of data stored in your database (EDIT mapRest services)

EDIT Geospatial componentsEDIT mapViewer MapRest Services

Well-formatted CSV file

Taxonomist georeferenced data, coordinates in latitude/longitude and decimal notation

Basic features:-Map composition (add/remove WMS layers) and navigation (zoom in/out, pan…)-Data symbolization -Query your data-Legend, scalebar download-Printing in different resolutions (480dpi)-GBIF density data browsing

More complex operations:-create and symbolize your own polygons-GeoSpatial analysis:

1) Number of records per polygon2) Number of genera per polygon3) taxa/genera ratio per polygon

EDIT MapRest Services: you construct the URL and we provide you distribution maps with the specified features symbolized at your own taste.

TDWG level 3 and 4 with the specified codes and symbology are plotted: tdwg4:c:MXEDU|b:MXETA||tdwg3:a:MXC,CUB|b:MXE,MXG|c:MXS,MXTSymbology definition (styles a,b,c,d)a:329d2a,483eef,2,2_2|b:ab8dc9F,da1029,2,5_7|c:d2e347|d:f7555dPlease check the examples (http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/MapRestServiceExamples) and the API (http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/trac/wiki/MapRestServiceApi) for more information

If desired, you can get, instead of an image, a file that can be used by a webmapping application (like OpenLayers)

Alpi-Marittime ATBI site (http://atbi.eu/mercantour-marittime/) and Gemer ATBI site (http://www.atbi.eu/gemer/) are currently using these services

Let’s see the tools in action!
