Collections information: building vertebrate databases in the cloud - Vertnet
News release from UC Berkeley on the new Vertnet - intended to integrate existing unsupported vertebrate database initiatives (HerpNet, MaNIS, ORNIS and FishNET) and address difficulties with scaling and sustainability in part through cloud computing. Primarily US collections, but some other large non-US instiitutions have some collections involved. Will integrate with other initiatives such as EoL and GBIF as well to deliver information.
