The prototype BiOSC Gateway demonstrates the power of *interoperability* between different biodiversity networks. Supported networks currently include:
· Distributed Generic Information Retrieval (DiGIR) (DiGIR)
· European Natural History Specimen Information Network (ENHSIN)
· The Species Analyst (TSA)
· The World Information Network on Biodiversity (REMIB)
These networks utilize differing techniques to store and display data. When you click on any of the country links the resulting information is being returned directly from the institutions holding these data. For more information about BiOSC visit the Canadian Biodiversity Information Facility.
Hints: To properly see the information returning from the ENHSIN network, please use Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.x, Netscape 6.x or view Page Source from your browser.
