AB OpenBioMaps is a recently developed, open and free web application with distributed database background, operated by several universities and national parks. This system provides free web map services and open database access by using standard OGC protocols. One of its’ main features is that users can create new and unique database projects. The databases involved are maintained by the data providers themselves. Standard tools supplied to the users include repeatable and referable data queries, exporting, evaluations and tracking of data changes. The system also provides a programmable data service for promoting data processing.
