Taxonomic sources
ENTOMONE uses two different taxonomy systems. iNaturalist is used to publish observations and needs its own identification number (taxon_id). Catalogue of Life Extended Release, also used by GBIF, is the reference for species names and the relationship tree. The data source is Catalogue of Life – ChecklistBank. ENTOMONE can also use custom name and classification dictionaries prepared by Users.
Standards and data quality
ENTOMONE follows the GBIF-style direction for data: explicit sources, metadata, location quality, record completeness and export paths toward biodiversity formats such as Darwin Core.
User data and privacy
User records, photos, locations and working identifications are private in ENTOMONE. Publication to iNaturalist or future exports to other services are separate, explicit user actions.
Storage and Google Drive
ENTOMONE stores metadata, relationships and workflow state. Photos may remain in the user's private Google Drive cloud, while the application stores identifiers, thumbnails and controlled working copies needed for operation.
