Recently, two more of the data integration and
analysis software products that are being developed in the ANDS Apps program
have been described in Research Data Australia (RDA):
Edgar: Climate Change Impact on the Distributions of
Australian Bird Species (under development at James Cook
University), which will provide
users with access to projected environmental suitability maps for Australian
Bird species under various climate change scenarios as well as the
"cleaned" occurrence records used to generate the maps. The
site will provide visualisations of the datasets as well as download
facilities.
The accompanying rainforest
vertebrates of the Australia Wet Tropics (location
& abundance) dataset is also described in RDA along with
various grants that have funded the generation of the input data.
and
TissueStack (under development at the Centre for
Advanced Imaging at the University of Queensland), a software system that will allow the
integration and overlay of multiple, multi-modal imaging 3D datasets,
corresponding classical anatomy information and accompanying metadata, and an
analysis environment to compare and quantify differences between multiple
biological specimens (e.g. wild-type vs. disease specimens).
The accompanying average
wild-type C57BL/6J mouse 3D MRI brain image dataset that can be viewed using
TissueStack is also described in RDA, along with various people and
organisations and grants associated with the generation of this brain image
data.
