New app book on Malaysian mammals

The ALAM eCurator system enables the exchange and interpretation of taxonomic information (such as species check lists, distribution and identification data) is of critical importance to taxonomists, ecologists and other
biologists and legislators, amongst others.

The information exchanged here will be linked to global indexes provided by a number of global and local taxonomic database services, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

The need for a Malaysian common mechanism for the providers of taxonomic information to exchange information with other providers and users of varying expertise in taxonomy was recognized at TDWG Lisbon 2003.

ALAM eTaxonomic and eCurator is such a mechanism that will adequately represent the data as modelled by the owners of the data, whist facilitating integration with data provided according to different models of taxonomy.

ALAM's Taxanomic Concept Transfer (TCT) schema was conceived to allow the representation of taxonomic concepts as defined in published taxonomic classifications, revisions and databases.
