How does Dandjoo work?

Dandjoo’s public components include an online data submission portal and a map-based interface for data users.  The data submission portal provides self-service quality assurance tools and provides the flexibility for providers to upload their data without reformatting it to match a rigid template.  The map-based interface allows users to search for data, view it in a table, and download it for further analysis.

The platform’s data curation module allows BIO’s curatorial staff to perform more extensive quality control checks, refer queries back to data providers, standardise data and location fields, and ensure that datasets are mapped to the appropriate data standard.  This module also runs routine checks against current Western Australian taxonomic names and threatened species lists, appending this information to records already in the platform.
