IndFauna,Electronic Catalogue of Known Indian Fauna
Product Description
IndFauna is an online baseline data platform of all Indian faunal
resources at a single click of a mouse. Using multi-lingual engine
this data can be accessed in six Indian languages viz. Hindi, Marathi,
Gujarati, Tamil, Telgu, and Punjabi thus ensuring dissemination of
knowledge in languages that people understand the best and covering
nearly ¾ of the country.
Citation
Getting access to information and knowledge about India's nearly 90000
species of animals in one single platform is a daunting task indeed.
Until recently data about these were distributed with various R&D,
academic, survey agencies, institutions and individuals such as
taxonomists and ecologists. The electronic catalogue - IndFauna, of
known Indian fauna has been conceived to address this search as a web
accessible database collating and disseminating baseline data about
over 90000 known Indian faunal species. The Database developed using
Oracle 9i has 10 inter-related tables, which collate data on
scientific names, synonyms, common names, and occurrence details, and
so on.
