Welcome to the Documentation Wiki of the BioCASe Provider Software

This is the Documentation Wiki of the BioCASe Provider Software. Here you will find tutorials on how to install, configure and debug the BioCASe Provider Software. More detailed information on BioCASe can be found in the Beginner's Guide and on the BioCASe homepage.

Described in one paragraph, the BioCASe Provider Software is an XML data binding middleware for publishing data from a relational database to an information network. It is agnostic of the data model used for data publication and can be used in conjunction with any conceptual schema. However, its main field of application is the publication of occurrence data from specimen or observational databases to primary biodiversity information networks such as the BioCASe network (http://www.biocase.org) and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (http://www.gbif.org). After installing BioCASe and configuring it for a given database, the published information will be accessible as a BioCASe web service, which means it can be retrieved with BioCASe protocol requests.
