Arboreta
Seed procurement,
processing testing,
certification and distribution
Maps for publication,
conservation assessment
and diversity analysis
Managing images for
curation, identification and

BRAHMS, developed over the last 25+ years,
embodies the collective knowledge and
requirements of a wide range of botanical projects.
Using BRAHMS v7 as a template
Curation and
management
services
Research
we are creating a next-generation,
modular, flexible, powerful and
sustainable data management
system for the botanical sciences.
![Page 4: BRAHMS v8 Demo Screenshots - Biodiversity Advisorbiodiversityadvisor.sanbi.org/wp-content/uploads/... · Using BRAHMS v7 as a template Curation and management services Research we](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f7327b64a76c00cb92de6ac/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Flexible data storage
SQLite (always available)
MS SQL
PostgreSQL
Local/personal databases
Project networks
Institutional networks (enterprise)
Regional networks
Scalable solutions
SQLite is built into BRAHMS v8 (requires no installation), is capable of handling large number of records and is highly portable.
Further RDBMS e.g. MySQL, Oracle could be easily added
![Page 5: BRAHMS v8 Demo Screenshots - Biodiversity Advisorbiodiversityadvisor.sanbi.org/wp-content/uploads/... · Using BRAHMS v7 as a template Curation and management services Research we](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f7327b64a76c00cb92de6ac/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Do I need IT support to install and use v8…
One of the challenges in developing v8 has been to ensure this new system is
accessible to all levels of user – personal through to enterprise.
Installation, configuration, daily operation and maintainenance have all been planned
carefully.
No computer expertise is needed to install v8 and the system is delivered with a
sample SQLite database – ready to go.
You can add new personal databases in SQLite or scale up to MS SQL Server or
PostgreSQL when or if you need.

Authentication
Log in using Windows
authentication using local
machine accounts or
Active Directory.
Alternatively, log in using
BRAHMS generated
credentials (as in v7).

Language
UNICODE based
data storage allows
storage of all
character sets.
Presentation layer
(user interface) fully
translatable.
Vietnamese characters as one example

Facilities are available to
Create new projects
Edit project metadata
Import or export entire
databases to/from xml
files
load existing database
projects.
Project setup: registering projects

Modular system encourages co-development
Each module (and module component) can be developed and maintained
independently of every other module/component.
The user interface, although initially developed using the Windows
Presentation Foundation (WPF) framework as a Desktop application,
could gradually be replaced or enhanced by any other implementation of a
user interface e.g. in Html5/JavaScript.
The service layer could additionally implement Web Services making
selected facilities available to mobile devices and third party applications
through http calls.

restrictions applied as
required.
Published data are easily
updated and/or removed.
