[ECOLOG-L] Database/Data Management Solution for Ecological Datasets

[Daniel Large]

Good afternoon,

A quick data management question for the ECOLOG-L community--are there 
pre-packaged, "off-the-shelf" software modules designed to house and manage 
diverse sets of ecological data?

We have looked, but so far have not come up with anything that fits the bill. 
The database solution would ideally permit relational queries of the data, 
incorporate import and export functions, and be flexible to accommodate data 
from a variety of study designs and methods. We would be interested in 
differentiated front-end, back-end, and/or integrated products fitting these 
parameters.

Over the span of several years, the Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation 
Plan program has collected large datasets in support of 
Biological Monitoring, Water Quality Monitoring, and Applied Research programs. 
We are now investigating acquiring or developing a database solution to store 
and manage all of this data, hence the present inquiry.

Any recommendations or advice in this regard that the ECOLOG-L community 
members could provide would be most appreciated.

Best,

Daniel A. Large
HCP Coordinator
