Products
The products of the Biosystematic Database of World Diptera
are disseminated in three formats and distributed via three media. The
formats represent the traditional catalog, nomenclator and species
database. The media are the traditional printed book for the catalog in
the serial MYIA, and the online databases via the WWW for the nomenclator
and species database, which are also periodically archived to the Diptera
Data Dissemination Disk (a CD-ROM serial). The nomenclator and species
database are FileMakerPro® applications.
The following is a sequential list of the products of the Biosystematic
Database of World Diptera. This project was first publically
announced at the XVII International Congress of Entomology, Hamburg,
Germany (1984). Unfortunately due to the failure to obtain the necessary
funding, the initial incarnation of the project died. Later special USDA
funding for work on fruit flies (1989) became available and using the
Tephritidae as a test taxon the first real products were produced.
Funding from the Schlinger Foundation (2000, 2002-2007) and GBIF (2003)
aided in producing the online nomenclator.
